Augmedix

Augmedix is a San Francisco-based medical documentation company that combines AI transcription technology with remote human scribes to document physician-patient encounters in real time, producing complete EHR notes that physicians review and sign. Physicians wear Google Glass or use a smartphone to stream audio and video of patient encounters to Augmedix's platform, where remote scribes observe and document the visit, supported by AI tools that transcribe speech and suggest note structures. This hybrid AI-plus-human model enables documentation quality and customization that pure AI solutions struggle to achieve for complex clinical encounters, while still dramatically reducing the time physicians spend on documentation. Augmedix serves large health systems and multispecialty groups, with customer deployments across hundreds of physicians. The company went public via merger with LifeSci Acquisition in 2020 and was subsequently acquired by Nuvation Bio. Augmedix competes with Nuance DAX, Suki, and traditional medical transcription services in the clinical documentation market.
