In a related development, Abridge has entered into a new enterprise agreement with Yale New Haven Health System, providing thousands of clinicians with access to its AI-driven clinical documentation tools.

Yale New Haven Health has chosen Abridge to alleviate the administrative burden on clinicians, thereby increasing patient engagement time.

Last year, Abridge launched an automatic speech recognition engine tailored for healthcare.

This technology has been evaluated across 14 languages and supports many more.

Abridge CEO and founder Dr Shiv Rao said: “This company was founded on the premise that clinician-patient conversations are at the core of all healthcare. Already, this information is powering a revolution in AI-based documentation.

“In the future, it will open new pathways to improve patient outcomes. Realising this vision requires world-class talent and formidable compute resources. We are now uniquely positioned to build the AI platform that brings this vision to life.”

Abridge is also exploring new ways to personalise clinical notes, integrate with electronic medical records (EMRs), and provide post-visit insights to clinicians.
