Founded in 2018, Abridge is the first AI-native clinician intelligence platform organized around the patient, built for clinicians, and designed to help health systems coordinate the clinical, financial, and evidence-based decisions for every moment of care. Powered by purpose-built AI for healthcare, Abridge connects patients, providers, payers, and life sciences companies. This year, the platform will support more than 100 million patient-clinician conversations across 300 of the largest and most complex health systems in the U.S. With deep EHR integration, Abridge’s automatic speech recognition and note generation has been validated to capture encounters in 28+ languages across specialties and care settings. Abridge is setting the industry standard for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems. Features like Linked Evidence map AI-generated clinical documentation to source data, helping clinicians quickly trust and verify the output. Abridge was awarded Best in KLAS for Ambient AI in 2025 and 2026, in addition to other accolades, including TIME Best Inventions of 2024 and 2025, CNBC Disruptor 2025, and Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies 2025.

Enjoyed this conversation with Scribble Ventures. A little bit of medicine. A little bit of music. A little bit of skateboarding. Mostly, a conversation about building. Thanks for having me Elizabeth Weil ! https://lnkd.in/e9sKkVEi
For Dr. Tim Barker, System Medical Director and CMIO of Ambulatory Care at CHRISTUS Health, Abridge earned the trust necessary to be the Texas health system’s AI partner by integrating new innovations at a rapid pace. Clinicians called new capabilities like Clinical Decision Support (CDS) “jaw-dropping.” “We weren't just evaluating where the product was today—we were looking at how much it had evolved since we first implemented it. Every year we've seen meaningful improvements, and that gave us confidence that Abridge would continue innovating alongside us.” CHRISTUS and Abridge have moved to an unlimited enterprise agreement, extending the AI platform across inpatient care and launching a nursing documentation pilot. And the impact of CDS across the organization is undeniable. “That's something our clinicians have been amazed by. They're discussing a complex patient, and right there within the workflow are relevant prompts they can immediately use. It's not interruptive. It's simply there when you need it. That's probably been the most impactful new capability we've seen.” That’s innovation that centers clinicians and patients, for every moment of care: https://lnkd.in/ebP5ZSmZ

When I joined Abridge after winning Anthropic’s hackathon earlier this year, I knew firsthand that these events can change careers. It certainly changed mine. So one of the first things I wanted to do after joining was help create that same opportunity for others. This weekend, we brought together nearly 200 clinicians, engineers, researchers, and builders in San Francisco to spend 12 hours asking one question: What could agentic AI do for healthcare if we started from first principles? The answer came in the form of 113 projects. Teams built everything from an ambient emergency department triage agent, to identity-aware patient monitoring with continuous re-triage, to EMS-to-inpatient handoff coordination, and even models that predict physician burnout from clinical activity patterns. But what stayed with me wasn’t any single project. It was watching clinicians and engineers who had met only hours earlier work together as if they’d been on the same team for years. Conversations moved seamlessly between agentic architectures, clinical workflows, and operational realities. You could feel that everyone in the room believed healthcare deserves better tools. One of my favorite moments was looking around the room and realizing just how far people had traveled to be there. Participants came from 17 countries, including Poland, Belgium, the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, and South Korea, joining colleagues from across the United States because they all believed the same thing: Healthcare is one of the most important frontiers for AI. Healthcare is also one of the hardest domains to build for. The workflows are complex, the constraints are real, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. That’s exactly why nearly 200 incredibly talented people chose to spend a summer Saturday working on these problems. Looking around the room, I couldn’t help but wonder how many future founders, collaborators, and careers were beginning that day—just like mine did a few months ago. Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible: our participants, mentors, judges, and our partners at Anthropic, Lightspeed Ventures, and Cerebral Valley. I’ll be sharing more about the finalists and winning projects over the next few days. For now, here are a few moments from a day I won’t forget.
With Abridge, every encounter is more signal, less noise. During the visit, Abridge enables more comprehensive care by suggesting discussion topics based on the patient summary, the clinical conversation, and other relevant inputs. No alerts, no popups. Just exactly what clinicians need to have the confidence that they have covered everything appropriately in each encounter. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ebr-uxAh
Wow, the energy and excitement is palpable today at our inaugural hackathon with Cerebral Valley, Anthropic, and Lightspeed! We are stoked to be live at Shack15 today in SF to work through some of the most interesting challenges in healthcare. More to come....
This is what building together looks like. Thank you to all of the health system leaders who joined our latest community event at the iconic Mattress Factory Contemporary Art Museum in Pittsburgh. Together, we’ve built a healthcare AI platform that is trusted by more than 300 health systems to support clinicians and patients at the point of care. Your feedback is our oxygen, and we heard you clearly this week: documentation was just the beginning. The next generation of Abridge capabilities—including contextual, PHI-safe real-time clinical decision support—is already making an impact for clinicians and their patients. Gratitude for all the health systems that participated.

What does David Rich MD, CPE, FAAP, CMIO at WVU Medicine do with the time he saves with Abridge as a practicing pediatrician? For him and his 3,000 clinician colleagues, he explains how that time back enables them to “answer questions from patients, be more available for urgent calls, or add another patient appointment to their day. Doctors are being told they can use the time they are getting back as they see fit."

Shiv (Shivdev) Rao, CEO and Co-Founder, joined Bloomberg last week to break down how Abridge closes the gap between patients and clinicians by handling clerical work in the background so each encounter can be focused on care. Thank you Lisa Mateo and Carol Massar for having us on to share our progress and our vision.
