## Inspiration In surgical operating rooms (ORs) and sterile biosafety laboratories (BSL-3/4), medical professionals wear sterile gloves and heavy PPE. They cannot touch keyboards, mice, or touchscreens to query patient records, check drug-drug interactions, or log clinical vitals. Taking off gloves to type causes contamination risks and wastes critical time. We built BioVoice AI to provide a sterile, hands-free voice infrastructure for healthcare environments. ## How We Built It BioVoice AI combines Speechmatics Voice AI with Intel OpenVINO CPU optimization: 1. **Speechmatics Medical ASR**: Implements Speechmatics Custom Dictionary boosting for complex pharmaceutical drugs (Warfarin, Aspirin, Heparin) and protein targets (TP53, ERBB2). 2. **Intel OpenVINO Intent Classification**: Executes microsecond intent parsing and entity extraction locally on CPU. 3. **Clinical Decision & Vitals Engine**: Audits drug co-administration risks, queries UniProt gene targets, and logs voice-dictated patient vitals in real-time. ## Hackathon & Infrastructure Impact BioVoice AI solves sterile contamination in medical infrastructure. Running efficiently on standard CPU hardware with zero GPU requirements, it brings edge intelligence into surgical and laboratory workflows.
