AI-Powered Platform Revolutionizing Healthcare
Physicians spend an inordinate amount of time on administrative tasks, leaving less time for patient care. Ambience Healthcare, founded by Mike Ng MBA ’16 and Nikhil Buduma ’17, aims to change that with an AI-powered platform embedded directly into EHRs. This platform automates routine tasks, such as pre-charting, real-time AI scribing, insurance billing code selection, and after-visit summaries in multiple languages.
From Problem to Product to Platform
Ng and Buduma founded Ambience after experiencing firsthand the challenges of the healthcare system. Ng, following a misdiagnosis, decided to study at MIT Sloan where he met Buduma. Both shared a passion for solving healthcare inefficiencies through AI technology. Their earlier company, Remedy Health, piqued their interest in AI advances, leading to the creation of Ambience, aiming to fine-tune AI for the healthcare sector.
Democratizing Healthcare
Ambience is already used in over 40 large healthcare institutions, benefiting clinicians by saving them 2-3 hours per day, reducing burnout levels, and improving patient relationships. By streamlining administrative tasks, Ambience is addressing the growing shortage of clinicians in the healthcare system. The founders envision expanding access to top clinical information, especially in underserved rural areas, through their AI infrastructure.
In conclusion, Ambience Healthcare’s AI-powered platform is a promising solution to the administrative burden faced by clinicians. By freeing up their time for patient care and streamlining healthcare processes, Ambience is making strides towards improving the overall quality of care and increasing access to specialized medical knowledge.
