What is Abridge?
Abridge is a leading clinical artificial intelligence platform developed by Abridge. Founded in 2018, it was created by doctors and computer scientists with the goal of reducing the time healthcare professionals spend on clinical documentation, allowing them to focus more on patient care.
How it works
The tool records the ambient conversations between doctors and patients (with appropriate consent). Abridge's proprietary clinical natural language processing artificial intelligence is specifically trained in medical terminology. It filters out casual conversation and transcribes the clinical part, structuring the information into SOAP note format (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan), making it easy for the physician to review.

- EHR Integration: Native, two-way integration with leading systems such as Epic and Cerner.
- Audit Source (Trust & Transparency): Allows the doctor to click on any sentence in the summary to hear the corresponding original audio clip, ensuring data accuracy.

Who is it for
- Doctors and Residents who want to reduce administrative work after consultations.
