Tom Kelly is the CEO of Heidi Health, another of the many ambient AI scribes that is spreading its wings to other roles, including bringing its own AI Open Evidence competitor! He calls it an AI care partner. Heidi started in Australia, and quickly moved to the UK and Canada, but now are in over one hundred countries. More recently they have come to the US and have now four major health systems and a lot of other mid market users. Tom think’s Heidi will soon do all the “work around the work”, and he doesn’t think it has to be deeply integrated with the EMR. He sees that as a superpower as doctors don’t want to be in the record. Is he right? Are scribes and ambient AI going to be separate? Does the scribe have to be a medical device, as it does in the UK? Will patients use it? Lots of questions about the future and Tom has lots of answers. Some might even be right!–Matthew Holt
