Read full description

Exome is an advanced AI-powered hospital assistant purpose-built for modern medical professionals, designed to dramatically reduce doctors’ administrative workload and streamline clinical documentation workflows. Tailored for hospitals, clinics Exome listens to real-time consultations between doctors and patients, transcribes the conversation into a chat-style interface, and automatically generates detailed case sheets—all with a single tap. Doctors simply initiate recording at the start of a consultation and stop it when finished; Exome handles everything in between. From structured transcription to intelligent data parsing, Exome ensures accurate and compliant clinical documentation without interrupting the patient-doctor interaction. It supports multilingual transcription, including Indian regional languages and major international languages, making it suitable for diverse linguistic environments. Exome also offers structured outputs across key clinical areas, including presenting complaints, history of illness, physical examination, medication, allergies, and prescriptions—eliminating the need for manual data entry and freeing up doctors to focus on patient care.
