Abridge fights to become the operating system of US healthcare
We may be in an AI bubble. But the tech itself continues to impress me, especially in healthcare. It can now auto transcribe doctor patient visits in dozens of languages on a smartphone. Then it can automatically turn those transcriptions into Rx and test orders. At the end of the visit it can spit out a version for the patient to take home and a chart note for the doctor to review and sign at end of the day. Technologists have been whacking at this problem for decades with meager results. But AI, with its ability to transform unstructured doctor-patient transcripts into structured, actionable data has set off a scramble among AI healthcare companies for market share. Abridge, run by Pittsburgh cardiologist Shiv Rao, has become the leader - for now. Click here to see how they are doing it over at CrazyStupidTech.
