Abridge for Patients

Abridge

About this app

As seen in The New York Times, “Abridge records doctor-patient conversations and shares the recording and transcript with the patient…”


Note: This app is specifically designed for patients to remember the details of their care (we’re glad you’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 [e-mail] for more information about our enterprise solution that provides additional clinical value.


Conversations with your doctor are full of meaningful moments — key pieces of advice about how to best manage your care. But if you’re like most people, the details can fall through the cracks. That’s where Abridge comes in — 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 you’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 you’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.

Ratings and reviews

Not sure why my previous review was deleted. Anyway, I wrote that I thought this app wouldn't work well. That it would crash, not connect, not open, freeze, not pick up voices. Used it for the first time yesterday and it worked very well. Picked up voices from across the room even with my coat over my phone. This is great! My husband is Deaf and can now use this and I can interpret what the doctor said when he gets home! BTW I downloaded this on his phone and he didn't get the code. Email?

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

This app makes medical appointments much less stressful. I love the key concepts and the definitions. Also, their customer service is great. I was having issues with the phone number for recording calls and they got back to me really quickly, then emailed me again to let me know that the issue had been fixed. I have recommended this app to all my doctors.
