Ambience Healthcare, a leading AI company developing technology to supercharge healthcare providers, announced the public launch of its fully automated AI medical scribe, Ambience AutoScribe. Already in use by provider organizations across North America, AutoScribe is revolutionizing the way healthcare providers document patient visits.
Leveraging state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology custom-built for medicine, AutoScribe comprehensively captures the nuances of each patient story, without the need for a virtual or in-person human scribe. AutoScribe embeds deeply into the EMR workflow and operates in real-time, which means that the AI-generated notes are immediately available to review, edit, and sign off without breaking provider workflow. AutoScribe can also be customized to each provider’s individual preferences, ensuring that the notes are written in the provider’s own voice and style.

“While building a primary care practice at our previous company, we saw our providers burning out from spending over two hours a day entering data into the EMR. We tried every solution we could find—dictation, templates, phrase expanders, and even virtual scribes that claimed to be ‘powered by AI’—but nothing truly worked for our providers,” said Ambience Healthcare Co-founder and CEO Mike Ng. “We founded Ambience with the goal of creating that elusive holy grail: an ambient, AI system that generates high-quality documentation in real-time so that providers can purely focus on providing patient care; a system that is always available, scalable at the cost of software, and self-improves over time.”
AutoScribe works even in medical specialties such as behavioral health, psychiatry, and geriatric primary care, where notes are long, the conversations are complex, and patient access is hindered by a systemic shortage of qualified providers.
“The dilemma is that clinicians don’t have time to write down everything while they’re in the room with the patient,” reflects Dr. Kendell Cannon, Chief Medical Officer of Pine Park Health, a large primary care group providing care for complex geriatric populations in assisted living facilities, and Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford School of Medicine. “Ambience’s technology allows clinicians to avoid multitasking, focus on their patients, and create a person-centered clinical record.”
