Clinical Documentation with AI

Founded in 2018 and based in Pittsburgh, Abridge uses AI to automate clinical notes and medical conversations, streamlining documentation processes for healthcare providers.

The company's technology is already in use across 100 healthcare systems in the US, including rural hospitals and pediatric care centers.

"AI can be transformative by simplifying the complexities of revenue cycle documentation, allowing clinicians to focus on their patients while ensuring accurate records," said Somesh Dash, General Partner at IVP.

New AI Tool for Emergency Medicine

Abridge recently launched Abridge Inside for Emergency Medicine, a generative AI-powered tool designed to optimize documentation in emergency care settings.

The tool is currently deployed at leading health systems, including Deaconess Health System, Emory Healthcare, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and UChicago Medicine.

Developed as part of Abridge's participation in the Epic Workshop program, this innovation integrates with Epic Systems, a major electronic health record (EHR) provider.

With fresh funding, Abridge plans to develop its AI capabilities further and expand its commercial reach, reinforcing its position in the rapidly growing AI-driven healthcare documentation sector.
