What is Abridge AI?
Abridge is an ambient clinical AI platform with a distinctive advantage: deep native integration within Epic, the EHR used by 30%+ of US hospitals, meaning physicians access Abridge directly within the Epic interface without switching applications. The AI captures patient-clinician conversations and generates structured SOAP-format clinical notes in real time. Major health systems including University of Chicago Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, and UPMC have adopted Abridge. Abridge uses proprietary clinical AI models trained on medical conversations and continuously improved by clinical experts.
How Abridge AI works
Abridge AI runs as speech-to-text software built around audio and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android.
