Equipping doctors with AI co-pilots
- Ambience Healthcare is a US-based company using AI-powered platform which automates routine tasks for clinicians before, during, and after patient visits.
- The platform handles pre-charting and real-time AI scribing, and assists physicians in selecting the right insurance billing codes. The founders believe they're helping the healthcare system manage a chronic shortage of clinicians that's expected to grow in the coming years.
- Doctor burnout, administrative inefficiencies and overall worse care for patients are some of the repercussions of physicians being required to handle hours of work regarding electronic health records (EHRs) and coding and billing tasks daily.
- Co-founded by Nikhil Buduma '17 and Mike Ng MBA '16, Ambience Healthcare is embedded directly into EHRs, leveraged by clinicians in dozens of languages and more than 100 specialties and subspecialties in various healthcare settings.
- The founders say clinicians using Ambience save two to three hours per day on documentation, report lower levels of burnout, and develop higher-quality relationships with their patients.
- The co-founders of Ambience Healthcare studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where they met at the “t=0” celebration of entrepreneurship hosted by the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.
- The company's founders plan to help increase access to the best clinical information across the country.
- Ambience Healthcare is already being used in roughly 40 large institutions, such as the Memorial Hermann Health System, John Muir Health, and St. Luke's Health System.
- Starting with an AI-powered scribe that records the details of a doctor-patient visit in a HIPAA-compliant system on mobile phones and laptops, Ambience Healthcare is built over a multistep process with fine-tuned models.
- The founders of Ambience Healthcare hope to scale the knowledge of specialists in the country through an AI infrastructure layer as these models become more clinically intelligent.
