The Solventum Mobile Microphone is a mobile application that allows clinicians to dictate using the Solventum Fluency Direct Desktop Application without the need for a physical microphone attached to the PC. Once the mobile application is paired one time with a Solventum Fluency Direct User ID, the user of the application can dictate using Solventum Fluency Direct running on any physical desktop or virtual device without a need for docking, Bluetooth or physical connections. The application uses secure data transmission to stream audio from the mobile device directly to Solventum Fluency Direct running elsewhere. It builds on the same cloud-based Solventum Speech Understanding (tm) technology powering all Solventum solutions, so existing clinician voice profiles can be used easily and instantly for optimal accuracy.

Sampson also automatically generates DC instructions, with the patients native language auto-detected, complete with visit summary, return precautions, and follow up instructions, automatically. Explore advanced features, like multi-patient mode, attestation mode, sign out mode-Sampson even automatically captures missed critical care time and generates CCT addendums specific to that particular case, so no more downcoding.
