Solventum Fluency, formerly 3M M*Modal Fluency, is a family of speech recognition and documentation solutions for healthcare providers. Fluency Direct lets physicians of any specialty dictate, review, edit and sign clinical notes directly in the electronic health record (EHR). Fluency Align is the ambient variant, in which documentation becomes a by-product of the conversation between clinician and patient, and Fluency for Imaging targets radiology. According to Solventum, Fluency Direct is delivered as cloud-hosted speech recognition.
Solventum is a publicly listed US company in Minnesota, spun out of 3M. It has announced that it may separate its Health Information Systems business; structure and timing have not been decided. The product page does not say where data is stored or processed, and the vendor publishes no product-specific GDPR statement or data processing agreement. For European healthcare organisations this matters, because medical data is involved and the provider is a US company subject to US law such as the CLOUD Act. Hosting location and processing terms should therefore be fixed contractually.
