About this app

As seen in The New York Times, ā€œAbridge records doctor-patient conversations and shares the recording and transcript with the patientā€¦ā€


Note: This app is specifically designed for patients to remember the details of their care (weā€™re glad youā€™re here!). If you are a clinician or employed by an enterprise system, please be aware that this is not the correct app for your needs. Clinicians and enterprise users should contact us at [email protected] for more information about our enterprise solution that provides additional clinical value.


Conversations with your doctor are full of meaningful moments ā€” key pieces of advice about how to best manage your care. But if youā€™re like most people, the details can fall through the cracks. Thatā€™s where Abridge comes in ā€” to be a second pair of ears so you can better understand and follow through with your care.

Abridge helps you stay on top of your health, whether youā€™re at a routine appointment, specialist visit, or annual exam. Simply record the conversation to get started. When your appointment is over, Abridge creates an interactive transcript of the medical parts of your conversation so you can quickly skip to any parts you may want to revisit. Abridge uses computers to transcribe the medical parts of the conversation, so nobody reads or hears the conversation but you.

UNDERSTAND THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS

Abridge has your back, from reminding you of medical terminology to identifying important details of your care. The app automatically finds key points like medication instructions and follow-ups for your review. Get definitions for medical terms, right in the context of your conversation.

STAY ON TOP OF YOUR MEDICATIONS

Track the medications youā€™re taking in one spot, right inside the medication list. Add medications, dosages, and instructions. Review medication basics, such as how to safely use the medication.

SHARE YOUR RECORDINGS

Securely share your conversation with family and others involved in your health. Keep everyone on the same page, even if they were unable to attend the appointment. Everyone can have more peace of mind knowing they can get a quick summary of what was said, and hear the information as if they were present.

TRUST YOUR INFORMATION IS SECURE AND WILL REMAIN PRIVATE

Abridge is secure and private: All your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and stored in HIPAA-compliant servers.
You control your information and who it is shared with. We will never sell, rent, or share your personal health information without your consent.
Abridge was developed by doctors, patients, and researchers.

Easier to download recorder app ~ Abridge didn't work for me. Too many glitches when your ready to record & have it all set up a pressed button ~ it wasn't difficult, I haven't really had any notifications? When opened I do not like the fact adds pop up and you have to close it out! It will not let you just press a button to use. All set up in the Doctors office & ads appear it doesn't record!

Thanks for your response. We appreciate it. Can you tell us the device you are using at [email protected]? There should not be ads when recording any conversations and we would like to know a little bit more about this issue in order to better help you! I am sorry about the inconvenience.

I hardly ever give reviews as it's just not my thing, but I had to do it for this app. It runs, so we'll, and yes, there are some minor glitches in reading of the text, but the audio is perfect! Having medical terminology explain is amazing. I have used it with all my doctors, and I have told family and friends how great this app is in reviewing your appointments and how it allows you share it with family or a friend so they too can keep abreast of your health. Well done!

The concept of this app is really cool and I love many of the features, but it has issues that make it unusable. It has paused itself multiple times unexpectedly, there are gaps in the conversations for some reason (this makes the audio unusable for my needs as it looks edited), I can't share the audio itself (or snippets) as an mp3, and other people can't listen or view unless they have Abridge accounts
