How Epic's AI moves could shake up the healthcare AI market

News


Abstract

Ambient AI has proven to be the most successful use case for AI in healthcare, so far, and VCs are pouring money into the sector to have a horse in the race. The company is joining the AI scribe party a bit later than its peers as ambulatory EHR company athenahealth launched its own ambient notes last year, Oracle Health offers a clinical AI assistant and Elation Health, an EHR for primary care practices, also rolled out AI tools. It's about being able to go deep, to generate notes, to be able to serve cues to the clinician at the point of conversation that can help them close care gaps, that can help them get a prior authorization, that can help them be better clinicians. While the startups in the AI scribe space grab a lot of headlines, Microsoft has been building out voice-enabled ambient AI tools and generative AI features for clinicians since its acquisition of Nuance Communications for nearly $20 billion in 2021."
