Abridge - recording medical discussions for patients

Abridge is a healthcare technology firm that provides a smartphone application that records and transcribes medical discussions to assist users with managing their health. The app summarizes a medical conversation using voice recognition and natural language processing technology, incorporating crucial information such as symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment choices.

The Abridge app, which is free to download from the ITunes Store and Google Play, may be used to record and transcribe conversations with healthcare practitioners, family members, and care givers. The app is HIPAA certified, which means it fulfills the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act's criteria for securing sensitive patient information.

One of the primary advantages of the Abridge app is that it may assist users in remembering essential facts from medical consultations. When it comes to health management, it might be tough to recall everything spoken during a visit or phone contact with a healthcare practitioner. Abridge allows users to examine a summary of their chat and refresh their recollections on key points. This is especially important for people who have complicated medical issues or see several healthcare providers.

Another important element of the Abridge app is its capacity to give users individualized health insights. The software analyzes the content of medical talks using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to offer users information about their health state and potential hazards. For example, the app may detect trends in symptoms or therapies that signal the need for additional examination or a change in treatment strategy.

Florian Metze, Sandeep Konam, Shivdev Rao founded Abridge in 2018. They have raised $22.5 million to date.
