Automated clinical documentation system and method

A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining a time delay between when an audio signal from an encounter participant is received at one or more microphones on a first audio detection system and when the audio signal from the encounter participant is received at one or more microphones on a second audio detection system, wherein the first and second audio detection systems are located within a monitored space, and wherein the first audio detection system includes a body worn audio detection system positioned within the monitored space and worn by the encounter participant, wherein the body worn audio detection system includes the one or more microphones of the first audio detection system;
• locating the first audio detection system with respect to the second audio detection system within the monitored space based upon, at least in part, the time delay between when the audio signal from the encounter participant is received on the first audio detection system and when the audio signal from the encounter participant is received on the second audio detection system, wherein locating the first audio detection system with respect to the second audio detection system within the monitored space includes defining a linear distance between the first audio detection system worn by the encounter participant and the second audio detection system based, at least in part, upon the time delay;
• and
• processing the audio signal, wherein the audio signal includes a first audio encounter information and a second audio encounter information, wherein processing the audio signal includes canceling interference between the first audio encounter information and the second audio encounter information.

A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

• determining a time delay between when an audio signal from an encounter participant is received at one or more microphones on a first audio detection system and when the audio signal from the encounter participant is received at one or more microphones on a second audio detection system, wherein the first and second audio detection systems are located within a monitored space, and wherein the first audio detection system includes a body worn audio detection system positioned within the monitored space and worn by the encounter participant, wherein the body worn audio detection system includes the one or more microphones of the first audio detection system;
• locating the first audio detection system with respect to the second audio detection system within the monitored space based upon, at least in part, the time delay between when the audio signal from the encounter participant is received on the first audio detection system and when the audio signal from the encounter participant is received on the second audio detection system, wherein locating the first audio detection system with respect to the second audio detection system within the monitored space includes defining a linear distance between the first audio detection system worn by the encounter participant and the second audio detection system based, at least in part, upon the time delay;
• and
• processing the audio signal, wherein the audio signal includes a first audio encounter information and a second audio encounter information, wherein processing the audio signal includes canceling interference between the first audio encounter information and the second audio encounter information.
