The AI medical scribe trusted by 100+ US health systems. Turns doctor-patient conversations into structured clinical notes.
Abridge is the AI medical scribe that became the default ambient documentation tool at major US health systems — Kaiser Permanente, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and 100+ others use it daily. By 2026, Abridge is processing 10M+ patient encounters per year. It listens to the doctor-patient conversation (via a HIPAA-compliant iOS app or in-room microphone), produces a structured SOAP note, generates ICD-10/CPT codes, and pushes the result directly into Epic, Cerner, or Meditech EHR.
Who it's for: Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants at large health systems or independent practices who spend 2+ hours/day on documentation. Reclaims 1-2 hours of clinician time per day.
Hit record, talk to the patient, Abridge generates a structured clinical note in 30-60 seconds. 96% accuracy on the most common visit types (primary care, cardiology, orthopedics). Built on medical-specific LLMs, not generic Whisper.
Direct write-back into Epic, Cerner, Meditech, athenahealth. Note goes into the right place in the right format. No copy-paste. This is the single biggest differentiator vs. Nabla, Suki, and other medical scribes.
Full HIPAA compliance, BAA available, on-prem deployment option for health systems. Data never trains foundation models. SOC 2 Type II + HITRUST certified.
Auto-suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes from the encounter. Saves the coder/coding AI downstream work. 85%+ accuracy on common codes; human review still required for complex cases.
For US-based clinicians at health systems using Epic or Cerner, Abridge is the safest, most mature AI medical scribe of 2026. The peer-reviewed evidence on time savings is the strongest in the category. For independent practitioners or international users, evaluate Nabla (free tier), Suki (cheaper), or DeepScribe (India-focused) — they may fit your workflow better.
