Creating Medical Insights with the Voice Agent
Field users and Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) can capture important medical information by recording Voice Notes that are automatically transcribed, then saved for later or converted to a Medical Insight. This ensures detailed information is captured while it is fresh in the user's memory, improving the accuracy of field intelligence while reducing the administrative burden of manual data entry.

Dictating a Medical Insight Voice Note
Users can dictate Medical Insight Voice Notes via Siri, by long-pressing the AI Button on a supported page (for example, the Account Detail, Home page, or the Medical Insights or My Notes tabs), or from the My Notes tab header. If the Voice Note is initiated from an account-specific page, the account is automatically added to the Voice Note. Otherwise, users can add the appropriate account.
