M*Modal to debut AnyModal CDS Live

Speech recognition services provider M*Modal unveiled its AnyModal CDS Live product at the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) conference in Philadelphia next week.

The technology captures and comprehends clinical information from dictation, transforming it into accessible, retrievable and shareable electronic files, according to the Pittsburgh-based M*Modal.

The AnyModal CDS Live offering works with existing hardware through a software as a service (SaaS) application delivery model, allowing M*Modal to host, operate and maintain its software application in an off-site data center for customer use over the internet.
