Huma launches genAI clinical documentation tool
British healthtech company Huma Therapeutics has initiated the global launch of Hi Scribe, a generative AI (genAI) clinical documentation tool designed to automate and streamline the creation of clinical notes. Powered by over 60 million consultations conducted by eConsult, which Huma acquired last year, Hi Scribe is available through the Huma Cloud Platform (HCP), providing real time clinical documentation automation and the generation of structured clinical notes that can be directly integrated into electronic health record (EHR) systems. Hi Scribe is already launched in the UK to 870 practices, covering around 10 million patients, with write-back and coding capabilities for the EHR systems EMIS and SystmOne. Now rolling out across more than 4,500 health systems and clinics powered by Huma technologies, worldwide, Huma CEO and founder Dan Vahdat stated that administrative burdens such as process compliance and accurate billing remain some of the 'greatest challenges' facing healthcare systems globally. 'Hi Scribe gives clinicians critical time back, allowing them to focus on what matters most: their patients,' said Vahdat. Initiation of the tool's global launch follows the UK's National Health Service (NHS) England guidance around using AI-enabled scribing products in healthcare settings that was issued in April. Relating to best practices surrounding controls and implementation, the NHS guidelines advise healthcare systems to integrate such AI products with their principal EHR system and to ensure legal and regulatory requirements are factored into the procurement and implementation of their chosen products. Dr Murray Ellender, head of UK Healthcare at Huma commented: 'By leveraging genAI with strong regulatory governance, we are ensuring safe, effective, and efficient care. We are excited in the near future to start helping care providers with intelligent suggestions for next steps — ensuring that nothing is left unnoticed.' Huma recently announced a partnership with growth equity company Eckuity to support its development of technology infrastructure to support ongoing plans to acquire companies and launch digital solutions across the healthcare space. "Huma launches genAI clinical documentation tool" was originally created and published by Medical Device Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

Amplify Care Unveils New Brand Identity, Leading the Way in Connecting Primary Care with Digital Health and AI Innovations
KITCHENER, ON , May 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Amplify Care, formerly known as the eHealth Centre of Excellence, is excited to unveil our new brand identity – a reflection of our deepened commitment to being the bridge between technology and primary care clinicians across Canada . As primary care faces unprecedented challenges, including a severe family doctor shortage amidst growing administrative burdens, Amplify Care has made it our mission to advocate for clinicians by amplifying their voices and supporting the adoption of digital health solutions that reduce workload, improve workflows, and empower clinicians to focus on patient care. In Ontario alone, family physicians are reporting spending up to 19 hours per week on administrative tasks, time that could be spent delivering care. Amplify Care is a not-for-profit organization deeply rooted in a change management ethos, helping clinicians adopt and integrate digital health and AI-powered tools from leading vendors and ensuring these solutions are designed with clinician needs and safety at the forefront. Amplify Care's work is critical in helping primary care clinicians navigate this new era of digital health while maintaining their focus on patient care, not paperwork.

By advocating for clinicians and amplifying their voices, we ensure that these technologies are practical, effective, and truly reduce the burden on the front lines of healthcare." Since its inception in 2014, Amplify Care has reached over 17,000 clinicians across Canada and supported more than 60 digital health initiatives, including co-leading the Ontario eServices Program (deploying eReferral and eConsult) and Evidence2Practice Ontario (EMR-integrated decision support tools for primary care). Our new brand identity signals a renewed focus on supporting the digital transformation of primary care through tailored adoption support and advocating for clinician-driven solutions. Amplify Care is not just about implementing technology – it's about ensuring that innovation serves those who matter most: clinicians and their patients.

Positioned at the forefront of the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, we help clinicians navigate the complexity of new technologies, cutting through the noise to deliver practical, impactful solutions that improve care delivery and reduce clinician burden.
