Every medical practitioner has been begging for voice EMR for like 10 years. EHR systems are a nightmare to update; a doctor basically needs an intern with an iPad to wander behind them and translate their dictation into EHR. Whoever controls this space will have a close relationship with every doctor and nurse (and any EMRs that don't will seriously falter)
