"The proposed class-action lawsuit states that the plaintiffs received medical care at various Sutter and MemorialCare facilities, where medical staff used Abridge AI to record conversations."

"Recordings made by Abridge AI contained individually identifiable medical information, including medical histories, symptoms, diagnoses, and other sensitive health disclosures."
"Abridge's software has been rapidly deployed across major health care providers nationwide, raising concerns about patient privacy and consent."
