    Pre-cleared quotes

    Attributable verbatim to a Cadence spokesperson. No approval needed.

    On scribes leading voice
    "Across the ANZ public record, ambient scribes are being procured ahead of patient-facing voice. That matters more than it sounds — the scribe purchase is where most health networks have their first serious AI governance conversation about data residency, clinical liability and vendor diligence. Whatever precedent that sets, the voice decision inherits."
    — a Cadence spokesperson
    On the in-market rate
    "At any given moment, roughly one in twenty large ANZ healthcare operators is actively evaluating this category. Nineteen in twenty are not. That ratio is the single most useful number for anyone trying to understand why this market moves slowly despite obvious demand."
    — a Cadence spokesperson
    On aged care
    "Aged care leads every leading indicator we track — contact-centre hiring, executive appointments and ownership change. That is consistent with regulatory load rather than technology enthusiasm: the Aged Care Act's accessible complaints and whistleblower obligations, and the Support at Home transition, both land as inbound call volume."
    — a Cadence spokesperson
    On procurement risk
    "The most expensive mistake we see is not choosing the wrong platform — it is signing a contract with no go-live milestones and no exit. Vendor failure is survivable. A contract that makes vendor failure your problem is not."
    — a Cadence spokesperson
    On independence
    "We are paid the same success fee regardless of which platform a client selects, and we take no affiliate commissions or vendor funding. That is the only reason our register is worth reading."
    — a Cadence spokesperson
