The Ambient AI Inside 300 Health Systems w/ Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO, Abridge
Episode Description
Doctors now need an estimated 30 hours a day to complete every clerical task asked of them. They are compensated not for the care they deliver but for the care they document. That gap is where physician burnout lives, and where AI has the most to offer.
Dr. Shiv Rao, Co-Founder and CEO of Abridge, joins host John Driscoll to discuss how an ambient AI platform now deployed across more than 300 health systems is giving clinicians back the time and presence to actually practice medicine, and why the next frontier for this technology goes beyond documentation into real-time clinical decision support at the point of care.
