Application of Conformer Architecture in Clinical Speech Input and Intelligent Medical Record Generation

Vollständiger Abstract

Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?

Accurate clinical speech recognition remains challenging because rapid pronunciation, domain-specific terminology, and background noise often degrade automatic speech recognition and subsequent medical record generation. This study proposes a multi-stage intelligent documentation framework that integrates a 12-layer Conformer architecture, BERT-BiLSTM-CRF semantic modeling, and BART-based structured text generation. The Conformer encoder captures both local acoustic characteristics and long-range contextual dependencies, while the semantic module performs medical entity recognition and normalization to enhance terminology consistency. The extracted information is subsequently incorporated into a BART generator with clinical knowledge prompts to produce standardized SOAP-compliant medical records. Experimental results demonstrate a word error rate of 6.3%, medical term accuracy of 95.8%, low response latency of approximately 940–960 ms, and generation quality approaching physician-written records. Beyond clinical documentation, the proposed framework illustrates the effectiveness of deep time-frequency feature extraction and contextual sequence modeling for complex noisy signals, offering methodological insights for electromagnetic signal interpretation, antenna measurement data processing, and intelligent information extraction in propagation-related applications.
