Voice-Powered Prescription Creation

Aria’s Smart Medical Dictation allows you to create prescriptions by speaking naturally. Our AI automatically identifies and highlights medications, dosages, symptoms, and medical terminology in real-time.
No need to follow rigid formats or templates - just speak as you normally would during patient consultation.

​
How It Works

1

Start dictating

Click the microphone icon and speak naturally about the patient’s condition and treatment
2

Real-time entity recognition

AI identifies and highlights:
  • Medications: Automatically detected and styled with medication formatting
  • Symptoms: Highlighted with visual indicators
  • Dosages: Extracted with proper units (mg, g, ml, etc.)
  • Medical terminology: Recognized and validated
3

Review and confirm

Check the detected entities shown as badges below the dictation box
4

Finalize prescription

Detected medications are automatically added to the prescription with proper dosages

​
Example Dictation Flow

Here’s what happens when you dictate a typical prescription: 
"Patient complains of fever and headache for 3 days. 
Prescribing Paracetamol 500mg and Cetirizine 10mg for symptom relief."

​
Visual Entity Recognition

As you dictate, entities are highlighted in different styles:

Medications

Highlighted with subtle background and borderExample: Paracetamol 500mg

Symptoms

Highlighted with amber background for quick identificationExample: fever, headache
The visual highlighting helps you quickly verify that the AI correctly understood your dictation before finalizing the prescription.

​
Detected Entity Badges

Below the dictation text, you’ll see real-time badges showing detected entities:
Detected:
  • 💊 Paracetamol 500mg (Medication)
  • 💊 Cetirizine 10mg (Medication)
  • ⚡ Fever (Symptom)
  • ⚡ Headache (Symptom)

​
Supported Medical Entities

The AI recognizes a wide range of medical entities:

​
Medications

  • Generic drug names (Paracetamol, Metformin, etc.)
  • Brand names (Crocin, Dolo, etc.)
  • Dosage forms (tablets, capsules, syrup, injections)
  • Dosage strengths with units (500mg, 1g, 10ml)

​
Symptoms & Conditions

  • Common symptoms (fever, cough, headache, nausea)
  • Chronic conditions (hypertension, diabetes)
  • Acute conditions (URI, gastritis, migraine)

​
Medical Terminology

  • Vital signs (BP, temperature, pulse)
  • Laboratory values (blood sugar, HbA1c)
  • Clinical observations
The entity recognition engine is trained on Indian medical terminology and commonly prescribed medications in India, making it highly accurate for local practice patterns.

​
Best Practices

​
For Accurate Recognition

1

Speak clearly

Use a normal speaking pace - not too fast, not too slow
2

Include dosages

Always mention dosage amounts with medications (“Paracetamol 500mg” not just “Paracetamol”)
3

Use standard terminology

Prefer generic names over colloquialisms when possible
4

Verify detected entities

Always check the badge display before finalizing

​
Common Dictation Patterns

Patient presents with acute upper respiratory infection.
Fever 99.8°F, cough, sore throat.
Prescribing Azithromycin 500mg OD for 3 days,
Paracetamol 650mg SOS for fever.
When the AI detects a medication name during dictation, it automatically links to the Smart Medication Search database:
If you say “Crocin”, the system will offer you specific dosage options from the ABHA-compliant medication database (Crocin 500mg, Crocin 650mg, Crocin Advance, etc.)
  1. You dictate a partial or complete medication name
  2. AI matches it against 100,000+ medications in the database
  3. You get instant suggestions with:
    • Available dosage strengths
    • Composition details
    • Common administration routes
  4. Select the exact medication variant with one click

​
Dictation Interface

The dictation interface provides clear visual feedback:

​
Active Dictation Indicator

  • Pulsing microphone icon shows recording is active
  • Blinking cursor indicates where text is being added

​
Live Text Display

  • Text appears in real-time as you speak
  • Entity highlighting updates dynamically
  • Scroll automatically follows new text

​
Entity Badge Panel

  • Updates live as entities are detected
  • Color-coded by type (medications, symptoms)
  • Click badges to edit if needed
Always review the final prescription before sending to the patient. While the AI is highly accurate, medical documentation requires human verification.

​
Error Handling

​
Unrecognized Terms

If the AI doesn’t recognize a medication or term:
1

Check spelling

The term appears without highlighting - verify you spoke it correctly
2

Use medication search

Manually search for the medication using Smart Medication Search
3

Add manually

You can always type or select medications manually if dictation doesn’t catch them

​
Incorrect Detection

  • Click on the detected entity badge
  • Choose “Remove” or “Edit”
  • The text highlighting will update accordingly
  • You can re-dictate that portion or type it manually

​
Performance Tips

Environment

Use in a quiet environment for best recognition accuracy. Background noise can affect entity detection.

Microphone

Use a good quality microphone or headset. Built-in laptop mics work but dedicated mics are better.

Internet

Stable internet connection required for real-time AI processing and entity recognition.

Language

Currently optimized for English medical terminology. Hindi and regional language support coming soon.
