Description

Product Description:

Heidi adapts to each provider's voice, terminology, and clinical preferences to create notes that sound like they wrote them. We understand context, adapt to the provider'[s specialty, and work seamlessly across every EHR without forcing providers into rigid system-specific workflows.

While competitors build for EHR fields, we build for clinical workflows. Heidi streamlines every part of a provider's work from pre-visit prep to post-visit tasks. One conversation generates everything: notes, referrals, documentation, and follow-up tasks.

That's why we're in the room for nearly 2 million patient visits each week and seeing 60-80% adoption rates. When providers use a tool everyday instead of avoiding it, you get real transformation that reduces burnout and keeps healthcare professionals practicing.

About Heidi:

Heidi’s ambient AI care partnerstreamlines time-intensive administrative tasks to reduce the cognitive load on clinicians. Serving nearly two million patient interactions a week, Heidi's technology transcribes and processes conversations between clinicians and patients to produce clinical notes and follow-up materials – from referral letters to assessments. The tool allows clinicians to work more efficiently and focus more on patient care – reducing the risk of burnout.

Heidi adheres to international standards including the NHS, HIPAA, GDPR, and Australian Privacy Principles, and has obtained enterprise-grade security certifications such as SOC2 and ISO27001. The company does not store session recordings, and never shares or sells clinical data.

Founded in 2019 by a team of medical professionals, Heidi has raised a total of USD $96.6 million to date, with backing from leading global investors. Today, Heidi powers nearly two million patient interactions every week, helping clinicians worldwide reduce administrative burden and focus on delivering high-quality care.

Product Capabilities

Enables providers to capture comprehensive patient information and observations without disrupting consultations, creating a complete clinical picture that informs better treatment decisions when it matters most. Upload, search, and synthesize information to bring Heidi up to speed on everything known about the patient, including medications, notes, imaging and pathology reports, letters and care plans. Upload files (PDF, DOC, JPG, PNG) and handwritten notes to provide more context and clinical information. Link multiple patient sessions within context to connect previous notes and care plans to your current consultation. Search for specific information using Ask Heidi without searching through the medical record. Synthesize information into structured clinical documentation or templates. Generate comprehensive notes from context alone, without a transcript.

Heidi AI scribe adapts to the provider's speciality and style. Documentation matches the provider's clinical voice with a dictionary of terms and snippets. Templates structure notes in the style developed over years of practice. Heidi works in difficult settings across 110+ languages, multiple languages, and multiple speakers, and it easily moves between devices and across environments from a computer to a phone or from surgery to the ED. Heidi also learns via its "learnings" capability, which captures stylistic edits into saved memory.

Heidi is designed to mimic the workflow and style of each provider. It is completely personalized to ensure it reflects the way they think and document. It adapts to them instead of forcing them into rigid structures dictated by EHRs, which is why Heidi sees adoption of 65% or more in just the first month of implementation. Heidi integrates with Epic, Cerner, Meditech, athenahealth, and other leading EHRs. SMART-on-FHIR endpoints and integrations mean new data objects or workflows can plug in without rewrites to stay flexible as interoperability standards evolve.

Protects patient information through enterprise-grade security controls and additional verification layers, meeting institutional security compliance standards while ensuring unauthorized access prevention. Maintains awareness of critical clinical activities and system events through organized alerts, ensuring important documentation deadlines and collaboration opportunities are never missed. Ensures regulatory adherence through automated retention scheduling and compliance monitoring, meeting jurisdictional requirements while maintaining audit trails and institutional policy compliance. Protects patient information through enterprise-grade security and local compliance measures, ensuring encrypted data handling with automatic de-identification while maintaining zero-tolerance access policies and full regulatory compliance. Built on ISO27001 and SOC 2 certified infrastructure with annual penetration testing and compliance auditing.

Heidi is used in over 50 countries and across more than 200 specialities in environments ranging from single physician practices to large health systems comprised of multiple hospitals and specialities, including highly complex areas like the ED. Eliminates manual data transfer between systems through bi-directional connectivity with EHR platforms, enabling automatic import of patient data and organized export of completed documentation.

Once live, Heidi guarantees 99 % uptime and 24/7 first-, second- and third-line support through in-product chat and a named escalation path. We run monthly usage and quality-assurance reviews, publish a quarterly Continuous Improvement Plan and push template or model updates without downtime.

Heidi tracks both quantitative and qualitative data. Provider surveys conducted during pilots, through organization-wide implementation and ongoing use gather well-defined KPIs, including: - Rate of adoption (number of providers using Heidi more than 25 times a week) - Time saved per visit - Time saved outside of patient visits - Accuracy of documentation - Notes and documents created each week - Languages used in notes - If providers feel more present with patients - If providers feel less stress and burnout - If providers feel higher job satisfaction The surveys also ask for open comments where provider can share other insights and details on their experience with Heidi.

Use Cases

Description:

Heidi works in over 200 specialties across 50 countries and 110+ languages. It is the ambient AI solution that providers prefer because it can easily move between complex environments. In one large US health system it has been successfully adopted by over 70% of providers from specitlty clinics to the surgical centers to the ED. Those providers report it not only saves them time (on average 5 minutes pervisit and up to 2 hours a day) but has improved their work/life balance and reduced burnout (over 80%). For health systems, this ca translate to reduced FTEs and increased capacity.

Pediatric use cases:

Heidi is ideal for pediatrics because it enables providers to maintain eye contact and focus entirely on patient care while Heidi captures every detail reliably, even in challenging environments with multiple speakers and languages or background noise (i.e., crying baby).

Users:

Any clinical role from surgeons to APPs to nurses, physical therapists, MAs, etc. And it can support cross functional collaboration.

Description:

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Manual processes leave providers working nights and weekends while provider shortages reach crisis levels. More than half of providers say EHR documetation is the main cause of their burnout. They often spend several extra hours each day documenting. Many EHR-based scribe solutions and solutions designed to fit in the existing structure of the EHR don't improve those manual processes much. They are designed to fit into the EHR framework and become a note-writer bound into EHR systems, not built to improve clinical workflows. 

Heidi is designed for clinical workflow optimization. We eliminate the administrative waste that's driving 35% of providers to consider leaving healthcare. Unlike manual processes, we handle the complete workflow - not just notes, but referrals, follow-up tasks, and care coordination. That's why we're seeing 60-80% activation rates and the majority of physician users reporting reduced burnout.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

AI scribes built for specific specialties create silos, but healthcare doesn't work in silos. A patient's journey from primary care to cardiology to surgery requires seamless handoffs across specialties. Generic "ChatGPT wrapper" solutions create data silos that fragment care and increase administrative burden. We adapt to your voice, terminology, and clinical preferences across every specialty because we build for clinical workflows, not rigid system constraints.

Heidi is built to improve the clinical workflow by truly replacing work previously done by providers in a personalized way that reflects their style - streamlining every part of their work from pre-visit prep to post-visit tasks. It can easily move between specialties and different environments within a health system, support coordination across teams, and be accessed on any device.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:
  • Online Scheduling – new patients can book appointments from your website without setting up an EHR patient portal account
  • Referral Management – website portal for receiving referrals, customized workflow, automated alerts when referrals need attention
  • Patient Communications – automated text/email messages sent to patients triggered at specific steps in the consult or referral journey
  • Provider Communications – automated consult and referral status updates sent to sending providers to close the loop between PCPs and specialists
  • Fax Management – manage all inbound faxes and push faxed referrals into the referral workflow, ability to split faxes into multiple documents
  • Marketing CRM – physician liaisons can document outreach and compare outreach activity with referral volume from their partners
  • Market Research – over 7 million providers pre-loaded which allows you to identify new potential referral partners in your target markets
  • Referral Analytics – comprehensive suite of analytics to report on all your referral metrics (trends, volume, leakage, service levels, outreach, etc.)

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Differentiator 1: All-In-One Platform

  • Some vendors offer patient access, referral management, e-consults or CRMs. Our cloud-based platform offers them all plus the following features.
  • Real-time analytics across the platform
  • Automated workflow and decision support tools
  • Automated feedback loop with referring providers
  • Automated patient communications via text or email
  • Integrated fax management system (port over existing fax numbers)
  • Integrated Customer/Partner Relationship Management (CRM/PRM)
  • Marketing research tools based on a directory of over 7 million providers

Differentiator 2: Rapid Integration Capabilities

  • Our integration engine allows our Integrations Team to quickly deploy system interfaces using APIs, FHIR, HL7, Direct, etc. which is important when implementing the platform for health systems, ACOs and CINs with many EHRs, data warehouses and other third-party systems across their networks.  
  • In addition, we comply with the third-party system’s specifications rather than asking the vendor to follow our requirements which streamlines the integration process and reduces cost for the client. 

Differentiator 3: All Healthcare Referrals Supported

  • The system is highly configurable and can support all healthcare referral types such as medical, specialty care, therapy, imaging, dental, behavioral health, hospice, home care, etc.  
  • The customization in the system allows clients to define their own workflows, referral forms, patient communication templates, and other settings that can be standardized across the organization.
