Credence is moving forward with its speech-to-text solution that will record notes for both the healthcare provider and the patient and then upload clinically relevant selections to the patient’s medical file and VA databases. Credence’s deepAccess generative AI platform also enables search, analysis, and interpretation of this data with a secure, fully enclosed solution.  

AI has the potential to lift an enormous administrative burden off healthcare providers, giving them more time each day to focus on patient care instead of paperwork. This shift will not only improve the lives and work of those in medical professions, but it will also improve the care provided to our nation’s Veterans.

The Credence team looks forward to the next phase of the competition and to continuing our work on AI solutions that solve government’s most pressing challenges.
