Pittsburgh - Global law firm K&L Gates LLP has advised Pittsburgh-based health care artificial intelligence startup company Abridge on a $15 million fundraising and the global launch of the company’s mobile app, which, combined with AI software, will securely transcribe medical visits at a consumer’s choosing. This latest fundraising round for the company supports the global launch campaign and included investors such as Union Square Ventures, Pillar, Bessemer Partners, KDT Ventures, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
With more than 50,000 users, Abridge aims to bridge the gap between patients and doctors, helping them recall key details of their health care strategies, including doctor conversations, diagnoses, procedures, and medications.
