Video testimonial: “I think that very soon, we won't be able to do without it.” Dr Pierrick Morales
For Dr Pierrick Morales, a private-practice radiologist who has been based in Cognac for nearly twenty years, the first impression is clear: Doctreen Spark is an accessible tool, simple to install and quickly indispensable.
“I think that very soon, we won't be able to do without it.”
Quick installation, built into the daily routine
What strikes you first is how simple it is to install. Spark fits naturally into the existing working environment, without disrupting habits.
Every morning, the radiologist finds all his usual tools — speech recognition, viewer, RIS — and Spark fits seamlessly alongside them.
“As soon as we sit down in the morning, we have all the tools we need, and Spark is there, alongside everything else.”
Once the radiology day is under way, the workflow is smooth: selecting the patient, opening the images in the viewer, displaying the report base. The content is then ready to be dictated.
Assisted and structured dictation
Voice dictation remains central to Dr Morales's practice. Spark does not replace it: it supports it.
“I dictate as I usually did, and with Spark on top of that, we have help that structures, formats and lays out the report.”
One of the immediate benefits observed concerns the quality of the final text. Speech recognition errors, typos and imprecise terms — often corrected at proofreading, sometimes not — are greatly reduced.
“We avoid speech recognition errors, typos and misinterpretations that can sometimes slip through.”
A cleaner, more consistent report, from the very first dictation.
Less proofreading, a smoother workflow
By reducing the time spent on proofreading, formatting and layout, Spark makes work smoother and faster, without rushing.
“We're going to save time and avoid errors that sometimes went out uncorrected or poorly corrected.”
This freed-up time lets the radiologist focus more on the more complex cases, those that require closer clinical attention.
A tool already usable in routine practice
Even though use within the practice is still recent, the verdict is positive: Spark has reached a level of maturity that allows routine use.
“We've reached a version that is starting to be usable in routine practice and that brings real added value.”
The team is also starting to adopt the tool, with a view to a gradual and measured roll-out.
Potential beyond the radiologist alone
Dr Morales also highlights Spark's potential value for other profiles, notably radiographers, as well as in multilingual contexts.
For physicians who are not fully fluent in French, the tool could help produce more reliable reports, with fewer language errors.
“I think there is real potential, particularly in those areas.”
A natural evolution of the radiologist's tools
Without revolutionising practice, Doctreen Spark stands as a logical evolution of the radiologist's tools: a discreet, structuring assistant that secures dictation and makes everyday work smoother.
For Dr Pierrick Morales, the potential is clear — and so is the tool's future.
Key takeaways
- Simple and quick installation
- Natural integration into the existing workflow
- Assisted and structured voice dictation
- Fewer errors and less proofreading time
- A tool already ready for daily use
