Our take

Dexter Health is a small German startup founded in 2021 that helps healthcare professionals increase efficiency and improves patient well-being. Founded by a tech engineer and a doctor, the manufacturing and AI company’s leading product is a language processing and speaker system, planned for use in hospitals for communication between staff and patients. The aim is simple - to save staff time by cutting down trips to their patients.

Whilst the product may be similar to Alexa and Siri’s voice-activated software, Dexter Health has calibrated its technology to operate across a hospital with AI running in the background and without intrusive monitors. To convince clients to take it on as hospital-wide software though, Dexter plans to enhance its data privacy compliance features, retaining the humanity and sensitivity that patients deserve.

This has been a long-known caveat and trust issue that larger company voice automation software can’t solve for healthcare institutions. It is one, however, that Dexter Health hopes to achieve in its still prototype product. If these features can be fine-tuned, then Dexter Health’s future is certainly a positive one.
