episode From Scribe to AI Care Partner - Heidi cover

Description

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Tom Kelly, CEO and founder of Heidi, about the platform's evolution from a free AI scribe into a multi-product clinical AI suite now supporting nearly 2.5 million visits per week across 116 countries. Tom explains how Heidi's two newest products, Evidence and Comms, give clinicians agentic tools to query medical literature, conduct surgical audits, and engage patients across phone, text, and web with full visit context. We discuss why scribing reliability is harder than it looks, how Heidi is navigating medical device regulation in the UK and EU through their Automedica acquisition, and why Tom believes the future of clinical AI is a single platform, not a collection of disconnected point solutions.

Listening Deeper: The AI Stethoscope Reimagined - Lapsi Health

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades, co-founder and CEO of Lapsi Health, about Keikku, an FDA-cleared device that merges digital auscultation, ambient AI scribing, and voice biomarker analysis into a single clinical platform. Jhonatan explains how Lapsi Health is rethinking the stethoscope not as a niche device, but as the hardware foundation for a comprehensive healthcare AI ecosystem. We discuss the challenges of building medical hardware on a lean budget, navigating FDA Class II clearance and ISO certification, and conducting clinical trials in pediatric cardiology in Peru, and why the future of clinical AI must go beyond documentation to truly capture the full value of a patient consultation.
