Dr. Shiv Rao '97 Launches Abridge App to Help Patients Follow Doctor's Orders
Shady Side Academy alumnus Dr. Shiv Rao '97 (pictured on the right in photo), a UPMC cardiologist and co-founder and CEO of the UPMC-backed startup Abridge, officially launched the Abridge - Record Your Health app on Oct. 6 to help patients better understand and follow through on doctor's orders.
The free app allows patients to record conversations with their doctors and uses machine learning to create a transcript of the appointment, pulling out key parts such as tests the patient should have done and medications prescribed.
