Ambient AI That Goes Beyond Simple Scribing

Ambient AI has quickly moved from buzzword to bedside. In this new Healthcare Insider Podcast, Simon Kos, chief medical officer of Heidi, shares why he believes this moment represents a true turning point for clinicians. Unlike past top-down digital initiatives, ambient voice technology "returns time and attention back into their clinical workflow and frees them up for what they want to do, which is spend time and attention with their patients," he says. Kos explains why the ambient scribe is just the beginning — and how the next wave of AI care partners will address cognitive burden, regulatory demands and global scalability. He also outlines what health systems should measure during pilots, from activation and adoption rates to clinician and patient satisfaction.
