Leading US-based healthcare technology firm, Augmedix (Nasdaq: AUGX), has expanded its medical documentation products into the behavioural healthcare field.

This strategic move by the healthcare company comes in response to the growing demand for behavioural healthcare services. 

Renowned for its cutting-edge medical documentation and data solutions, Augmedix expands behavioural healthcare coverage by offering accurate and transparent medical documentation and data solutions that streamline workflows for clinicians. 

Currently, the healthcare company supports behavioural healthcare providers with its Augmedix Live and Augmedix Notes products. Further, by the end of this year, Augmedix aims to supplement behavioural healthcare providers with its newest product, Augmedix Go.

Sharing his views, Manny Krakaris, CEO of Augmedix, said, 'œTo address the increasing need for behavioural healthcare services, which has been exacerbated by the mental healthcare workforce shortage, Augmedix is expanding its service offerings to cover this pressing issue in our society today.'

'œAugmedix enables health systems partners like Northern Light Health to put the clinician-patient relationship front and centre in behavioural health settings as well as other speciality settings. We facilitate a more natural interaction and document patient visits with comprehensive and accurate medical notes,' he added.

Headquartered in San Francisco, Augmendix, through its digitalisation of patient encounters,  facilitates the process of medical documentation and data accessibility, enabling clinicians to effectively engage with their patients. 

Furthermore, the company's offerings can be utilised in ambulatory and acute behavioural healthcare settings such as counselling, psychiatric services, clinics, telehealth, inpatient, and more. 

Moreover, the healthcare company's products are utilised by behavioural health professionals, including nurse practitioners and psychiatrists.
