Founded in 2018, Abridge builds an AI platform that listens to conversations between doctors and patients and automatically generates structured clinical notes in real time, which then flow directly into the health system's electronic medical record (EMR). The core product is called ambient AI documentation — clinicians activate Abridge on a mobile device or computer during a visit; within minutes they have a draft note. A proprietary "Linked Evidence" feature maps every AI-generated statement back to what was actually said, making outputs auditable and reducing hallucination risk. Abridge integrates natively with Epic, Oracle Cerner, and the VA's VistA system — the three largest EMRs in the U.S. The platform now goes beyond notes: it also covers revenue cycle management (auto-generating billable documentation), clinical decision support, and nursing workflows. Customers are large enterprise health systems paying roughly $2,500 per clinician per year on subscription. Buyers are health system IT/CMO leadership; end-users are physicians and nurses.
