We started Abridge with a simple thesis that healthcare is about people, and that our technology can bring those people closer together.

Abridge was founded in 2018 to power deeper understanding in healthcare with AI. The enterprise-grade platform transforms medical conversations into clinically useful and billable notes, reducing administrative burden and clinician burnout while improving patient experience.

Abridge is purpose-built for healthcare conversations and leads the market in automatic speech recognition and clinical note generation. End-to-end ownership of the AI-powered technology stack enables Abridge to scale across a diverse range of hospital systems, care settings, specialties, and languages.

Powered by Linked Evidence, Abridge is the only solution that maps AI-generated summaries to ground truth, helping clinicians quickly trust and verify the output. As a pioneer in generative AI for healthcare, Abridge is setting the industry standard for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems.

Abridge is now implemented at a diverse set of more than 200 of the largest and most complex healthcare systems in the U.S., including UPMC, UCHealth, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, Duke Health, Emory Healthcare, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Mayo Clinic, UChicago Medicine, and Yale New Haven Health.
