About the Company
Augmedix provides remote medical documentation and live clinical support so clinicians can focus less on “desktop medicine” and more on what matters most: patient care. The Augmedix platform livestreams clinic visits to human-expert assistants through smartphones or Google Glass. The Augmedix assistants leverage proprietary automation technology, including speech-to-text software and natural-language-processing modules, to create timely, accurate, and structured EHR notes from natural clinician/patient conversation. Clinicians are not required to alter their workflow by dictating word-for-word, verbalizing punctuation, or speaking “wake words.” Augmedix is compatible with over 45 specialties and is trusted by over one dozen American health systems supporting telemedicine, medical offices, clinics, and hospitals. Studies find that by using Augmedix, clinicians have reduced their administrative workload by 2–3 hours per day, increase productivity by as much as 30%, and improve work-life satisfaction by 40%. Less time with computers and more time with patients means clinicians can return to the joy of practicing medicine.
