Nabla is one of the leading ambient AI medical documentation tools, addressing one of the most significant sources of physician burnout: the time spent on clinical documentation after patient encounters. Studies consistently show that clinicians spend as much time on documentation as on patient care, and Nabla's approach of automatically generating structured notes from the conversation aims to reclaim that time.
The workflow is straightforward: the physician activates Nabla at the start of an encounter, has a normal conversation with the patient without looking at a computer screen, and Nabla generates a structured SOAP note or other clinical note format from the conversation's audio at the end of the encounter. The physician reviews, edits if necessary, and approves the note for inclusion in the EHR.
The AI processes the conversation, extracts clinically relevant information, structures it into appropriate note formats, and uses medical language appropriate for clinical documentation. The output quality has been validated in clinical studies, and the reduction in documentation time is substantial — typically 50-70% reduction in post-visit documentation time.
Nabla integrates with major EHR systems including Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and others, allowing note review and submission within existing clinical workflows without additional software switching.
HIPAA compliance and appropriate security infrastructure are requirements for medical AI tools, and Nabla provides Business Associate Agreements and appropriate data handling for healthcare environments.
Nabla 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.
