Saykara today announced the release of Kara 2.0, an AI-powered healthcare assistant that further simplifies the documentation process for physicians. Now featuring Ambient Mode, Kara 2.0 is a breakthrough AI-powered voice application for healthcare, allowing physicians and patients to interact as they normally do, all while Saykara listens, transcribes to text, parses text into structured data, and intelligently completes each form in a patient's electronic health record (EHR or chart). Saykara then automatically generates a clinic note including patient history, physical, assessment, plan, orders and referrals. With the release of Ambient Mode, Saykara is the only virtual healthcare assistant that can be used passively'in the room' during physician-patient appointments with no voice commands. Ambient Mode builds on Saykara's versatility and agnosticity, allowing it to better serve up to 18 disparate healthcare specialties, including primary care, pediatrics, internal medicine, orthopedics, urology and more.

LOS ANGELES, June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- An Ovation Fertility abstract about the use of artificial intelligence in IVF, presented at the 35th European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) Annual Meeting on June 24, 2019, was pre-selected for consideration for two prestigious awards at the event: The Basic Science Award for Oral Presentation, awarded to the presenting author of the best oral presentation on a basic science topic, and the Fertility Society of Australia Exchange Award, which provides an educational travel grant for the presenting author to present the data of his/her oral presentation at the annual meeting of the Fertility Society of Australia (FSA). Only five presentations at ESHRE 2019 were selected to receive awards and be rewarded with a prize of EURO 2,000, and one additional presentation was selected for the FSA Exchange Award. Special award committees, composed of senior scientists and clinicians, made the selections for each award. Ovation's oral presentation about the use of artificial intelligence in IVF, "Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can predict human embryo viability across multiple laboratories with varying demographics with high accuracy and reproducibility," detailed a study that sought to find out if artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision can improve embryo viability prediction using static 2D images of Day 5 embryos from multiple laboratories. In most IVF labs, embryologists select which embryos to transfer based on morphological assessment, using high-powered microscopes to examine each embryo and assign it a subjective "grade."
