Ambience Healthcare
Ambient AI scribe plus coding and referral tools for health systems.
About
Ambience Healthcare (ambiencehealthcare.com) builds an AI platform for clinical documentation, founded in San Francisco in 2020. Its core product, AutoScribe, listens to patient encounters and generates structured notes in the clinician's own style, with companion tools for coding integrity (AutoCDI), referrals (AutoRefer), and after-visit summaries (AutoAVS).
The platform is used by 40+ provider organizations including UCSF Health, Houston Methodist, and John Muir Health, and the company has raised $100M from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, and the OpenAI Startup Fund. Pricing is enterprise and quote-based, which puts it out of reach for small practices.
