Abridge Founder Talks About Battling 'Pajama Time' Burnout Among Physicians
Welcome to Found, where we get the stories behind startups.
This week's guest, Shiv Rao, founded Abridge after seeing how unnerving it can be to go through a medical emergency with a loved one, even for a practicing doctor like himself. So he and the Abridge team created an app that doesn't just transcribe a conversation between doctor and patient, but can summarize the important parts, extract next steps, and even define any medical terms that have been pronounced so that the patient leaves with all the information they need. The same technology helps physicians take better notes and alleviate "pajama time" burnout by recording what happened during the appointment and synthesizing it into a useful format for a physician. Darrell, Jordan and Shiv talk about the importance of making a large-scale impact in the medical field.
