About Glass Health

Glass Health is a San Francisco-based healthcare technology company founded in 2021 by Dereck Paul and Ethan Steinberg, both of whom have backgrounds in medicine and software engineering. The company builds AI-powered tools designed to reduce administrative burden on clinicians and support clinical reasoning at the point of care.

The platform's primary products include an ambient scribe that automatically generates clinical notes from patient-physician conversations, and a clinical decision support tool that assists with differential diagnosis and treatment planning. Glass Health targets individual clinicians, group practices, and health systems, positioning its tools as workflow aids rather than autonomous diagnostic systems.

Glass Health raised early-stage funding to develop its platform, though the specific total amount has not been publicly disclosed. The company operates with a small team and has grown its user base among physicians seeking to reduce documentation time. Co-founder Dereck Paul has been active in articulating the company's approach to responsible AI deployment in clinical settings.

Competitive Landscape

Who Glass Health competes with, and how they differ.

OpenEvidence logo
OpenEvidence8.3/10

OpenEvidence is a point-of-care clinical answer engine built on medical-literature search for fast lookups during a visit, while Glass generates structured differential diagnoses and full assessment-and-plan drafts from an entered patient summary — a heavier, documentation-oriented workflow rather than a quick-reference tool.

Abridge logo
Abridge8.3/10

Abridge focuses primarily on ambient clinical documentation and scribing sold into large health systems with deep EHR integration, whereas Glass combines scribing with diagnosis and treatment-planning decision support aimed more at individual clinicians and smaller practices before moving upmarket.

1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Nabla logo
Nabla8.0/10

Nabla is an ambient AI scribe and clinical documentation assistant spanning multiple EHRs with a similar physician-facing workflow and pricing model to Glass, making it a closer functional peer than the larger, more EHR-embedded incumbents.

Ambience Healthcare logo
Ambience Healthcare7.6/10

Ambience Healthcare pairs ambient documentation with billing and coding automation across 200+ specialties — the closest structural match to Glass's combined scribe-plus-CDS model, but weighted toward coding and revenue-cycle value rather than diagnostic reasoning.

Suki AI logo
Suki AI7.8/10

Suki AI is a voice-first assistant focused on dictation, coding and EHR task automation for clinicians, competing with Glass mainly on documentation efficiency rather than on diagnostic decision support.

Company Timeline

Key milestones in Glass Health's history, with sources.

  1. Milestone

    Included as one of four clinical-AI tools in the Harvard/Stanford ARISE NOHARM safety benchmark

    Glass Health was one of four clinical decision-support tools (alongside AMBOSS LiSA, Doximity Ask and OpenEvidence) evaluated in the Stanford Medicine/Harvard Medical School-affiliated ARISE NOHARM clinical-AI safety study; independent physician commentary reported that clinical RAG tools as a group had lower severe-error rates than generalist LLMs in the study. Per-tool ranking figures circulating in vendor marketing were not independently verified here and are not recorded.

  2. Milestone

    Expanded from diagnosis support into ambient clinical documentation

    Independent healthcare-AI commentary (Dr. Kola Tytler) reported Glass Health had expanded its product to combine ambient visit-dialogue capture with EHR data to draft H&P, progress and discharge notes with inline references, moving beyond its original diagnosis-support-only scope.
