Abstract

Collection of health information from the underserved community has been a challenge. Their health records are not digitized. The major population of the underserved community is text-illiterate but is not voice-illiterate. This article proposes a speech-based healthcare information collection system as an additional module to the traditional EHR system. Bangla is a language spoken widely across Bangladesh and Western parts of India by 210 million people, but it is still one of the LRLs when it comes to ASR resources. The existing research outcomes indicate the necessity of application-specific language resources for better performance. In addition, a system architecture for collecting speech data from doctor-patient conversations and an automated information retrieval system in the local language are put forward. The system also extends to extracting information that can provide assistance in operations like prescription prediction and creating new health records in digital medical history management systems.
