Augmedix review: Ambient AI medical note-taking for clinicians, sold through sales contact

What Augmedix does

Augmedix is a medical documentation service for clinicians. Its ambient AI listens to the visit in the exam room and turns the conversation into a written medical note, so the clinician does not have to write up the record by hand. The vendor says it covers EHR documentation in settings ranging from the emergency department to primary care.

The company offers a range of products with adjustable amounts of AI automation and human support, from self-service to full-service. It also mentions a purpose-built app for Emergency Medicine and AI tuned for oncology and other specialties. According to its homepage, it holds HITRUST certification and complies with HIPAA. The site says it works with popular EHRs, though the page text does not name specific ones.

Pricing is not published on the official site. Buyers are asked to submit their contact details so a team member can arrange a demo and discuss the organization's needs. No free plan, trial or plan prices are stated. A news item on the homepage says Commure completed a merger with Augmedix. The page text does not say which platforms or apps are supported, or whether an API exists.

Our take

Augmedix looks aimed at hospitals, health systems and physician groups that want ambient note-taking with a choice between more automation or more human support. It also suits teams in emergency medicine or oncology, where the vendor describes specialty tuning. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs to compare prices before talking to a salesperson, since none are published. Solo users wanting a free trial will not find one on the pages reviewed. Platform support, API access and named EHR integrations are also unconfirmed, so those need to be asked about during a demo.
