What you should know:
– Augmédix (AUGX), a leader in Powered by AI medical documentation, and Andor Healtha cloud platform for virtual care communication, announced a strategic partnership to streamline workflows and improve patient care.
– Strategic integration aims to revolutionize virtual care by leveraging ambient AI to automate note creation within the Andor Health platform, ThinkAndor®.
Focus on clinician effectiveness and patient care
Augmedix’s AI technology will automatically generate medical notes during virtual consultations within ThinkAndor®. This frees up valuable time for clinicians, allowing them to focus on patient interaction and diagnosis. By streamlining documentation processes, clinicians can spend more time with each patient, which could potentially lead to better patient outcomes.
Fueling collaboration: ThinkAndor® and Augmedix
The integration leverages the strengths of both platforms:
- ThinkAndor® from Andor Health: Offers AI-powered communication tools and real-time information from electronic medical records (EMR) to support effective virtual consultations.
- Augmedix platform: Uses ambient AI to convert natural conversations between clinicians and patients into structured medical notes seconds after the virtual visit.
The role of Google Cloud MedLM
The collaboration will also leverage Google Cloud MedLM, a suite of AI models specifically designed for the healthcare industry. MedLM’s capabilities will further improve the accuracy and efficiency of AI-generated medical notes.
“This integration demonstrates Augmedix’s commitment to serving the broadest range of specialties and care settings within the market,” said Manny Krakaris, CEO of Augmedix. “The Andor-Augmedix approach focuses on unobtrusive integration where ambient documentation becomes part of the native virtual workflow and end-user experience paradigm. Deep integration will also optimize upstream audio ingestion that generates the highest quality downstream note output quality scores.
