- Nvidia is developing an AI healthcare model in collaboration with Abridge.
- The AI model is designed for clinical conversations and will be used exclusively within Abridge’s platform to improve tasks like clinical decision support and documentation.
- The model will be trained using Nemotron, according to Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare.
- Abridge will use its de-identified clinical data to further train and customize the Nemotron models, said Dr. Shiv Rao, the startup’s co-founder and chief executive.
- The new AI model is expected to be ready to use later this year and will be one of many that Abridge uses to power its platform, said Davis Liang, the startup’s director of applied science.
Nvidia is collaborating with Abridge to create an AI healthcare model, named Nemotron, designed to enhance ambient-listening technology for clinical conversations. This innovative model aims to improve clinical decision support and documentation within Abridge's platform.1234
According to Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of healthcare, “There’s an opportunity now to take these models and adapt them with this clinical intelligence at a much earlier stage of model development.” The model will be trained using Abridge's de-identified clinical data, allowing for further customization and refinement.
Dr. Shiv Rao, co-founder and CEO of Abridge, emphasized the importance of real-world data in shaping clinical intelligence, stating, “Generic models are powerful, but clinical intelligence—it still has to be trained, it has to be shaped, and it has to be evaluated against real-world conditions.”
The new AI model is expected to be ready for use later this year and will be one of several models powering Abridge's platform, as noted by Davis Liang, the startup’s director of applied science. Dr. Joon Lee, CEO of Emory Healthcare, has already implemented Abridge’s platform for over 3,000 physicians, expressing optimism that the collaboration with Nvidia will accelerate the development of ambient-listening technology.5
This partnership highlights the growing intersection of AI and healthcare, aiming to streamline clinical workflows and enhance patient care through advanced technology.
