Overview
Abridge is an ambient AI medical scribe that listens to patient-clinician conversations and automatically generates structured clinical notes, allowing physicians to focus entirely on their patients during visits rather than typing on keyboards. The platform uses proprietary automatic speech recognition (ASR) to process audio and generate comprehensive notes, including treatment plans, physical exams, and history of present illness, plus a patient-facing visit summary. A standout feature is Abridge's language support: the AI automatically detects and processes conversations in 28 languages (including Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese) and outputs a complete English clinical note. The system performs well across diverse accents, languages, and dialects, with high-performing languages achieving approximately 1% absolute improvement in Word Error Rate compared to leading state-of-the-art models. All notes are generated in English regardless of the language spoken during the encounter. Abridge has been deployed at major healthcare institutions including UC Davis Health, where 370 physicians used it in a pilot program and reported a 52.7% decrease in cognitive load and saved an average of 1.6 hours per week in notetaking. Physicians reported the AI is 'very accurate' and does an excellent job summarizing patient conversations without bias or hallucination. The platform is HIPAA, HITECH, and SOC2 compliant, and works with popular EHRs like Athena and eClinicalWorks on desktop. Abridge is available on iPhone and iPad (iOS 17.6 or later), with no Android app currently listed.
