Abstract

It is inter alia disclosed to perform at least one of operating an interaction process with a user of the medical apparatus and determining, based on a representation of at least one instruction given by the user, at least one instruction operable by the medical apparatus. Therein, the at least one of the operating and the determining at least partially depends on operational data. It is further disclosed to receive modification information for modifying at least a part of the operational data, wherein the modification information is at least partially determined based on an analysis of a representation of at least one instruction given by the user.

Claims

1. A medical apparatus, comprising:

a processor;

a transmit/receive interface,

one or more microphones;

an adjustment wheel or button; and

wherein the medical apparatus is configured to administer a medicament and, under control of the processor, to perform;

using the microphone to sense a speech instruction provided by a user;

determining a dose of medicament included in the speech instruction provided by the user based on speech recognition operational data stored within the medical apparatus;

presenting the determined dose of medicament to the user;

receiving correction of the determined dose of medicament by operation of the adjustment wheel or button by the user;

adjusting the determined dose of medicament using the received correction;

after adjusting the determined dose of medicament, presenting the adjusted dose of medicament to the user;

performing an administration of the medicament using the adjusted dose of medicament;

transmitting a representation of the speech instruction, the determined dose of medicament included in the speech instruction, and the adjusted dose of medicament to a server;

receiving modification information from the server; and

using the modification information to modify the speech recognition operational data stored within the medical apparatus.

2. The medical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said speech recognition operational data is at least partially associated with at least one of an acoustic model, a language model and a wordbook for speech recognition.

3. The medical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said modification information is at least partially determined based on an analysis of the correction provided by the user.

4. The medical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said speech recognition operational data is at least partially associated with rules defining at least one of a flow of an interaction process and information provided to said user in said interaction process.

5. The medical apparatus according to claim 4, wherein at least a part of said modification information is determined to modify at least one of said flow of said interaction process and said information provided to said user in said interaction process.

6. A method, comprising:

performing the following steps on a medical apparatus configured to administer a medicament having a processor, a transmit/receive interface, one or more microphones, and an adjustment wheel or button;

using the microphone to sense a speech instruction provided by a user;

determining a dose of medicament included in the speech instruction provided by the user based on speech recognition operational data stored within the medical apparatus;

presenting the determined dose of medicament to the user;

receiving correction of the determined dose of medicament by operation of the adjustment wheel or button by the user;

adjusting the determined dose of medicament using the received correction;

presenting the adjusted dose of medicament to the user;

performing an administration of the medicament using the adjusted dose of medicament;

transmitting a representation of the speech instruction, the determined dose of medicament included in the speech instruction, and the adjusted dose of medicament to a server;

receiving modification information from the server; and

using the modification information to modify the speech recognition operational data stored within the medical apparatus.

7. A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program comprising program code for performing the following when executed on a medical apparatus processor, where the medical apparatus is configured to administer a medicament has a transmit/receive interface, one or more microphones, and an adjustment wheel or button:

using the microphone to sense a speech instruction provided by a user;

determining a dose of medicament included in the speech instruction provided by the user based on speech recognition operational data stored within the medical apparatus;

presenting the determined dose of medicament to the user;

receiving correction of the determined dose of medicament by operation of the adjustment wheel or button by the user;

adjusting the determined dose of medicament using the received correction;

presenting the adjusted dose of medicament to the user;

performing an administration of the medicament using the adjusted dose of medicament;

transmitting a representation of the speech instruction, the determined dose of medicament included in the speech instruction, and the adjusted dose of medicament to a server;

receiving modification information from the server; and

using the modification information to modify the speech recognition operational data stored within the medical apparatus.
