The co-branded wearable microphone pairs professional-grade clinical audio capture with Tandem's AI Medical Assistant

Ambient AI only works as well as what it can hear.

Most clinicians adopting AI documentation use whatever microphone is nearby. A laptop built-in. A phone on the desk. It's fine, until it isn't. Background noise, distance from the speaker, or a muffled word mid-consultation all affect what ends up in the note.

That's the problem this partnership is built to fix.

Tandem has partnered with Speech Processing Solutions to offer the Philips SpeechMike Ambient, a professional-grade wearable microphone co-branded with Tandem and designed for clinical environments. Worn close to the clinician, it captures conversations clearly from the first word. Tandem does the rest.

What this means in practice

The Philips SpeechMike Ambient and Tandem's AI Medical Assistant work as a single workflow. The microphone captures the consultation. Tandem listens, filters out what's clinically irrelevant, and generates structured documentation in real time. The clinician reviews and confirms. Nothing enters the record without their approval.

For healthcare organisations deploying ambient AI at scale, audio quality is one of the variables that's hardest to control. This removes it.

In their own words

"Ambient AI has already demonstrated its ability to reduce administrative burden for clinicians, but high-quality documentation starts with high-quality audio capture. By combining trusted clinical speech technology from Philips Dictation with Tandem, we're making it easier for healthcare organisations to adopt ambient AI in everyday clinical practice." — Lukas Saari, CEO and Co-Founder, Tandem Health
