Augnito Becomes First Indian Company to Launch Ambient Technology, Revolutionizing Clinical Documentation and Enhancing Physician Capabilities
Augnito, an innovative Voice AI solutions provider, looks to capitalize on its first mover advantage as it becomes the first Indian institution to introduce ambient technology to the global healthcare market. The groundbreaking technology, coupled with generative AI capabilities, is set to transform clinical documentation, automate administrative tasks, and empower physicians with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy.
Augnito’s ambient technology not only enables physicians to document patient encounters and generate documentation & data effortlessly, but also tackles the pressing issue of physician burnout. In the West, EMR adoption rates are already high. However, the systems in use have directly contributed to widespread overwork among physicians, rather than easing their burden. Healthcare professionals spend nearly half their time on administrative tasks like charting, data-input, and report generation. With ambient technology, Augnito hopes to drastically reduce this burden—even eliminate it entirely if feasible. In India, and other geographies where EMR adoption is still in the initial phase, the Voice AI solutions provider believes that access to the best technology and solutions right at the outset will help pre-empt and prevent the burnout issue from arising.
Here’s how the tech works: The doctor switches on the ambient technology app on his smart device. The doctor then carries out a regular consultation in free-flowing conversation, completely focused on the patient. The AI transcribes the entire conversation in real-time, with absolute accuracy. The AI then generates a structured SOAP note from the unstructured conversation. This includes chief complaints, medical history, diagnoses, recommended plan of care, prescriptions and details of the follow-up appointment, among others.
Talking about the new launch, Rustom Lawyer, Co-founder & CEO, Augnito, said, “At Augnito, we keep healthcare professionals at the core of all our operations. Currently, operating an EMR requires specialized knowledge and is usually substantially time-consuming. It involves manual navigation of several menus and fields. With our ambient technology, the data is automatically structured and input into the corresponding segments. We are essentially giving back the chance to healthcare providers to focus exclusively on their patients.”
Augnito’s AI comprehends all English accents with 99% accuracy and can transcribe multi-lingual conversations in over 10 Indian languages and Arabic as well. It also caters to over 50 medical specialties. This empowers healthcare professionals to express themselves naturally and effectively, fostering a deeper connection and understanding with their patients. With Augnito’s ambient technology, the burden of multi-stage processes and manual data entry is alleviated, leading to improved accuracy, turnaround times, and both provider and patient satisfaction rates.
With a strong presence in over 375 hospitals across 25 countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, India, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, Augnito has solidified its position as a trusted leader in the healthcare industry. Renowned healthcare groups like Apollo Hospitals, Medanta, Fortis, and MAX have already partnered with Augnito, underscoring their commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that optimize healthcare workflows.
By introducing this groundbreaking solution, Augnito is poised to revolutionize clinical documentation and enhance physician capabilities on a global scale. As the first Indian company to introduce ambient technology and generative AI for clinical documentation, Augnito remains committed to driving positive change in the healthcare industry.
