Microsoft Dragon Copilot AI Unveiled, Can Help Medical Professionals Automate Documentation

Published by Webster

Microsoft unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot on Monday that can help medical professionals reduce their documentation workload. Dubbed Dragon Copilot, the new AI assistant can record conversations, write clinical notes, draft referral letters and even create post-visit summaries. The Redmond-based tech giant’s latest tool for clinicians is based on AI tools from Nuance, a company acquired by Microsoft. Since it is not a retail-focused tool, and instead caters to medical institutions, the company has not revealed the pricing for Dragon Copilot. Microsoft Unveils Dragon Copilot In a newsroom post, the tech giant detailed the new AI assistant for medical professionals. Citing 2024 data from the American Medical Association, the company highlighted that clinician burnout in the US in 2024 was noted at 48 percent. Although there was a drop from the previous year’s 53 percent, Microsoft claimed that the persistent burnout could lead to a workforce shortage. The Windows maker also added that a significant portion of this burnout came from increased workloads involving paperwork and documentation related to patient care. Details about …

Gupuks has evolved significantly – from a natural pond where beginners first attempt skating to a standard ice rink hosting national-level events like the Khelo India Winter Games.

Doctors review: Sharad Kelkar is the beating heart of this brilliant, raw take on medical professionals’ lives | Web Series

Published by Parlour News

Medical dramas on Indian television, barring the odd exception, have focused more on the doctors’ personal lives than professional. Be it Sanjivani or Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, the focus has always been on the doctors, minus their scrubs, lab coats, and stethoscopes. There was the odd Dhadkan in the early 2000s that was more House MD than General Hospital, but it took the proliferation of OTT platforms for there to be stories that dealt with what doctors go through when in the hospitals. If Mumbai Diaries started that, JioCinema’s new series Doctors takes it a few notches higher. (Also read: Sharad Kelkar reflects on being a stammerer to becoming voice of Baahubali: ‘I never thought my voice would be loved’) Doctors review: Sharad Kelkar and Harleen Sethi shine in this brilliant medical drama.

It said two more states have already introduced their Bills in this regard. The recommendations said most of the state laws cover minor offences and prescribe punishment for them and the major offences or heinous crimes are adequately covered under the BNS. “It has been observed …

What Is the ‘Most Pressing Concern’ for Cyber Professionals?

Published by Webster

Generative AI was top of mind at the ISC2 Security Congress conference in Las Vegas in October 2024. How much will generative AI change what attackers — and defenders — can do? Alex Stamos, CISO at SentinelOne and professor of computer science at Stanford University, sat down with TechRepublic to discuss today’s most pressing cybersecurity concerns and how AI can both help and thwart attackers. Plus, learn how to take full advantage of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. When small or medium businesses face large attackers TechRepublic: What is the most pressing concern for cybersecurity professionals today? Stamos: I’d say the vast majority of organizations are just not equipped to deal with whatever level of adversary they’re facing.

They have gotten quite good at it. So, by the time they break into your 200-person architecture firm or your small …

As of 2023, women make up only 20% and 25% of the cybersecurity workforce, according to training body ISC2. New research from Deloitte explores the reasons behind this gender gap, despite the high demand for skilled professionals in the industry. Half of young working women interested in cybersecurity feel they lack sufficient knowledge of the field to pursue a career in it. Furthermore, 55% of all women surveyed believe the industry could prove intimidating, and 47% are concerned they wouldn’t be taken seriously. The results, published in “POV Reimagined: Women in Cybersecurity” in October, are based on a survey of 8,000 non-cyber professionals from around the world conducted by Deloitte Global and media company The Female Quotient. They also conducted interviews with global female security leaders and group discussions with adults in and out of the industry.

It’s time to challenge the stereotypes and show women that cybersecurity not only offers the job …
