175 - Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO and co-founder of Abridge, on Using AI to Unlock the Full Potential of the Patient-Provider Conversation

Today I am joined by Dr. Shiv Rao. He is the CEO and co-founder of Abridge, a company using Artificial Intelligence to summarize and structure medical conversations, allowing patients to receive better quality care by improving how they communicate with clinicians.

Shiv is revolutionizing and improving care delivery by reinventing how patients and providers communicate during the examination room and beyond.  He is devoted to reshaping and restructuring the healthcare landscape with a technology that directly benefits patients, payors, and providers alike.

In our conversation today, Shiv and I discuss why the art of conversation is fundamental to quality healthcare, how ambient artificial intelligence is improving patient-provider communication, and the importance of developing innovations and technologies with large scale, reach, and impact.
