The digital assistant called Suki aims to alleviate physicians’ administrative burdens and documentation work. It can search and retrieve patient data like imaging files as well as distill the provider-patient into an actionable plan.
Currently, there are 12 active pilots for Suki at practices in California and Georgia. Suki is used five days per week across three different EHR systems.
The funding round included Venrock, First Round, Social Capital and Marc Benioff.
“There is so much potential in the data collected in EHRs, but what we need to do is make it easier for doctors to input that data without having to outsource a legion of scribes or buy dictation software that isn’t intelligent. Suki solves that problem,” said Qammer Bokhari, MD, chief medical information officer at Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based Adventist Health System and an investor in Suki.
