What are Nabla's key features?
Ambient AI
Captures visit context and drafts notes from conversations, helping clinicians reduce documentation time; Nabla says 85,000+ clinicians use it across 150+ health organizations.
dictation
Turns spoken input into clinical text for faster charting, which matters when teams need to document more visits without adding typing time or manual cleanup.
real-time intelligence
Surfaces guidance during the encounter so clinicians can act while the conversation is happening, supporting faster decisions and fewer after-visit corrections.
Nabla Connect
Connects with Epic and athenahealth to fit into existing EHR workflows, reducing copy-paste work and keeping documentation inside systems teams already use.
What does Nabla integrate with?
- Epic
- athenahealth
What are Nabla's use cases?
Clinicians document faster
Clinicians use Nabla to capture visits without losing eye contact, using Ambient AI to turn conversations into structured notes. They can also use dictation for quick corrections, helping them finish charts sooner and keep the next appointment on time.
Clinical ops standardize notes
Clinical operations teams use Nabla to make documentation more consistent across providers and visit types, using real-time intelligence to surface relevant details as the encounter unfolds. That helps reduce rework, improve note quality, and keep workflows moving in outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth settings.
Health systems deploy ambient AI
Health system leaders use Nabla to roll out ambient AI across different care settings, relying on Ambient AI to support outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth workflows. Nabla Connect helps them extend the experience into existing systems without forcing clinicians into a separate process.
Product teams embed AI
EHR and healthtech product teams use Nabla to add ambient documentation capabilities inside their own platform, using Nabla Connect to integrate the experience into their product. That lets them offer AI-assisted workflows to clinicians without rebuilding core documentation tools from scratch.
How does Nabla work?
- Connect your first clinical workflow through Nabla Connect or an EHR integration such as Epic or athenahealth, then choose the encounter context you want Ambient AI to support.
- Start the visit and let Ambient AI listen in the background, capturing the conversation while clinicians stay focused on the patient instead of typing throughout the appointment.
- Use real-time intelligence to surface relevant details during the encounter, then apply dictation for fast edits, clarifications, or additions before the note is finalized.
- Review the generated note, adjust wording or structure as needed, and save it back into your workflow so documentation stays consistent across visits and teams.
- Expand to more clinicians and settings over time, using Nabla Connect to embed the same experience into broader outpatient, inpatient, or telehealth operations.
