Abridge

Abridge is a healthcare AI company founded in Pittsburgh in 2018 by Shiv Rao, a practising cardiologist who is chief executive, with Sandeep Konam and Florian Metze. Its ambient AI listens to clinician and patient conversations and drafts clinical documentation in the electronic health record, with products for physicians, nurses and revenue cycle teams, including real-time prior authorisation. Abridge raised a Series E extension in April 2026 at a $5.3 billion valuation and says it works with many of the largest health systems in the United States.
