Research Description
Developing and testing an interoperable system to facilitate routine recording of patient and family engagement.
Research Impact
Through the Open Recording Automated Logging System (ORALS) project, Dr. Barr aims to have routine audio recording of conversations with clinicians and patients in an effort to increase engagement of patients and families in their health care. ORALS will consist of technically proficient software using natural language processing to enable accurate and automatic tagging of in-clinic audio recordings and an online platform for patients and family members to access their recordings. Dr. Barr and his team will use a mixed methods and agile software development approach to develop and conduct formative testing of ORALS.
