Fresh off a $243 million fundraise from Oak HC/FT and A16Z, Ambience Healthcare is on a mission to kill medical billing — and build “Iron Man suits for doctors.”
Today we sit down with co-founder and CEO Mike Ng to talk about how Ambience is tackling one of healthcare’s most painful problems: the administrative burden that eats up 73% of a clinician’s day.
We cover:
🏥 How Ambience tackles both clinical documentation and medical coding simultaneously (and why this dual approach was initially controversial with investors)
📊 The metrics he obsesses over to know if they’re succeeding
🎯 Why specialty-specific AI models outperform general-purpose solutions in complex medical subspecialties
📈 Real-world results from Cleveland Clinic's five-way ambient listening comparison study
