Clinical documentation in healthcare institutions is one of the daily tasks that consumes most of the time for those involved. The adoption of mobile devices in medical practice increases efficiency among healthcare professionals. We describe the design and evaluation of an automatic speech recognition system that enables the transcription of audio to text of clinical notes in a mobile environment.

Nursing professionals must be able to recognize and incorporate the knowledge acquired in the design of electronic systems and clinical devices, being able to integrate the workflow and knowledge in order to provide tools that help improve the interventions made to patients. This is even more relevant in specific type populations such as neonatal. The present work enunciates recommendations that must be taken into account when thinking about a registry oriented to these patients, based on the most relevant information existing in the bibliography.
