About Heidi Health

Heidi Health was founded in 2019 in Melbourne, Australia, and develops an ambient medical scribe platform that uses artificial intelligence to transcribe patient consultations and generate structured clinical notes. The company was co-founded by Thomas Kelly, a medical doctor, with the goal of reducing the administrative burden on clinicians.

The platform listens to doctor-patient conversations and produces clinical documentation such as SOAP notes, referral letters, and other structured records across a range of medical specialties. Heidi Health markets its product to individual clinicians, clinics, and larger healthcare organizations, and has expanded its user base internationally, including in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand.

Heidi Health has raised funding across multiple rounds from venture investors, with backers including Blackbird Ventures among others. The company has scaled its headcount and clinician user base significantly since its founding, positioning itself as one of a number of ambient AI scribe vendors competing in the clinical documentation software market.

Competitive Landscape

Who Heidi Health competes with, and how they differ.

Abridge logo
Abridge8.3/10

The best-capitalised direct rival in ambient clinical documentation, selling top-down to large US health systems with deep Epic integration and revenue-cycle coding as the pitch. Heidi sells bottom-up to individual clinicians and small practices across 100-plus countries, which is why its consultation volume outruns its enterprise logo count.

Microsoft (Nuance DAX Copilot) logo
Microsoft (Nuance DAX Copilot)7.8/10

The incumbent: Nuance DAX Copilot ships through Microsoft enterprise contracts and native Epic distribution, which no startup can match on procurement reach. Heidi competes on price, self-serve onboarding, 110-language coverage and speed of deployment rather than on EHR-vendor relationships.

Ambience Healthcare logo
Ambience Healthcare7.6/10

US ambient AI documentation aimed at large academic and multi-specialty health systems, with coding accuracy and CDI as its differentiator. It overlaps directly with Heidi enterprise motion but has little presence in the UK, Australian and primary-care markets where Heidi is strongest.

Nabla logo
Nabla8.0/10

The closest structural analogue: a non-US-origin ambient assistant (French) that also scaled through clinician-led adoption and multilingual support before moving upmarket. Both compete for the same European and multi-language deployments; Nabla is more US-focused post-2024 while Heidi leads in the UK and ANZ.

Suki AI logo
Suki AI7.8/10

Voice-first AI assistant for clinicians that licenses its ambient engine to EHR vendors and health systems as an embedded platform. That partner-led distribution differs from Heidi direct-to-clinician model, but the two collide in US ambulatory practices.

OpenEvidence logo
OpenEvidence8.3/10

Competes with Heidi second product line rather than its scribe: OpenEvidence is a clinical evidence search tool monetised through pharma advertising. Heidi launched Heidi Evidence in February 2026 explicitly as an ad-free alternative, arguing commercial sponsorship compromises point-of-care decision support.
