Scottish National Users' Group (SNUG) Podcast
Health & Fitness:Medicine
Lexacom began as a simple audio recorder program created by former GP , Dr Andrew Whiteley, originally devised to save time by sending recordings across a network to a secretary. Over two decades, the company has grown organically, serving over 60% of GPs with its digital dictation, transcription, and speech-recognition solutions. In this episode, Dr. Whiteley describes how this developed. Lexacom is now expanding its feature set beyond traditional dictation, focusing on secure cloud-hosted platforms, sophisticated speech-recognition designed for medical terms, and dynamic workflows that tailor letters, reports, and consultation notes to individual practices.
A key new focus is the integration of ambient AI, which captures and processes everything said during a GP consultation, then automatically produces a structured note. This enables clinicians to focus on patients rather than data entry. Additional modes can transform dictated text into patient-friendly wording or code it into existing clinical systems. Dr. Whiteley emphasizes patient confidentiality and data security, noting that all data remains encrypted on UK-based servers. The latest version of Lexacom also offers mobile app functionality for home visits, offline work, and seamless syncing, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to developing efficient, user-driven solutions for clinicians.
