Patent ID: 11450323

Abstract:
Speech is digitized and analyzed by a speech-recognition platform to produce raw text sentences. In various embodiments, the recognized words of each sentence are tokenized based on a grammar, which may be selected by a Recognition Context Controller (RCC) using a context database. A Medical Context Semantic Library (MCSL) contains all medically relevant terms recognized by the system and, once the grammar is selected, the MCSL is used to select a semantic template (consisting of one or more hierarchically organized data structures whose root is a “Concept”). Recognized words are mapped to tokens based on the operative grammar to fill the Concept tree(s). The grammar and the Concept trees can potentially shift after each sentence based on the RCC's analysis. The trees accumulate and are filled as sentences are analyzed. Once all of the sentences have been analyzed, the trees have been filled to the extent possible. Concepts may be organized into higher-level Observations. These observations are used to generate final reports.
