"A typical physician's job is much more than just seeing patients. In fact, most doctors spend hours every week outside of clinic hours catching up on typing notes and getting visits and treatments cleared with insurance providers. As a practicing cardiologist, Shiv Rao had gotten used to doing this work late at night. That's why he launched Abridge, an AI platform that can turn conversations between doctors and patients into clinical notes in real time."
"So far, Abridge has raised $780 million from the likes of Andreessen Horowitz, Elad Gil, and Khosla Ventures, and struck up partnerships with more than 150 health systems nationwide. How Abridge's ability to understand and transcribe nearly 100 languages tranforms patient visits into clinical notes and billing codes to save physicians time What the 7-year-old company brings to health systems of different sizes, such as Kaiser Permanente and Johns Hopkins Medicine"
Physician work often extends beyond patient visits to include extensive after-hours documentation and insurance coordination. Shiv Rao, a practicing cardiologist, launched Abridge to automate this burden by converting doctor-patient conversations into clinical notes in real time. Abridge supports nearly 100 languages and maps visits to billing codes, aiming to reduce administrative time for clinicians. The company has raised $780 million from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Elad Gil, and Khosla Ventures and partners with over 150 health systems, including large organizations like Kaiser Permanente and Johns Hopkins Medicine. The platform seeks to augment clinicians' work, not replace clinical staff, to improve patient-facing time.
