By GlobalDataWith a surging demand for generative AI-powered applications in healthcare, Suki has experienced rapid growth, with more than a dozen major health systems and hospitals deploying or expanding access to its solutions in the past two months, the company noted.
The company’s product suite, including Suki Assistant and Suki Platform, aids in streamlining administrative tasks for clinicians and enabling technology partners to build AI experiences.
An AI-powered tool, Suki Assistant helps clinicians save time on administrative tasks by creating notes, taking dictation and commands, streamlining coding, and retrieving relevant chart data from electronic health records (EHRs).
Suki Platform, the underlying engine of Suki Assistant, offers developer tools for integrating AI and voice capabilities into various healthcare solutions.
The company has collaborations in place with key EHR providers, including Epic, Oracle Cerner, MEDITECH, and Athena.
Under its partnership with MedStar Health, the company offers Suki Assistant to thousands of clinicians under MedStar Health across ambulatory specialties including primary care, cardiology, and gastroenterology, and settings including urgent care locations.
Suki CEO and founder Punit Soni said: “With the support of our investors, we’ll accelerate our growth, diversify Suki’s capabilities, and deepen relationships with strategic partners such as MedStar Health, one of the most important collaborators in Suki’s history.
“MedStar Health was fundamental in helping us build essential capabilities including our bidirectional and seemingly ‘invisible’ EHR integration, which is why we have the highest clinician adoption rates in the industry. Together, we have demonstrated how a technology company and health system can meaningfully innovate together and advance physician well-being and patient care.”
