Abstract

A method is for creating a controller for controlling an output unit from information in the context of medical diagnostics and therapy. The method includes providing a learning processing apparatus designed via an algorithm to recognize spoken words; providing on, or in, the learning processing apparatus, an untrained controller, designed to be trained via machine learning; providing a number of speech recordings, each including a communication during a medical procedure, wherein the speech recordings concern comparable medical procedures; performing a speech analysis of the speech recordings; and training the untrained controller according to a machine learning principle based upon the speech analysis of the speech recordings.
