Monday morning brought a new twist in this tech tango. Abridge announced a shiny new product that serves up real-time insights, prompts, and pathways from the medical bible UpToDate, all based on what’s said in a clinical conversation and recorded in the patient’s file.
So, what’s the beef? Well, both startups are vying for the same thing – doctors’ attention. And with AI being the name of the game, it’s only a matter of time before we see more sparks fly in this high-stakes battle.
