Suki
AI assistant for clinical documentation and dictation
Our take
Suki, founded in 2017 by former Google executive Punit Soni and based in Redwood City, builds an AI assistant for clinicians that combines ambient documentation, voice dictation, voice commands, and coding assistance. It integrates deeply with Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, and MEDITECH Expanse, and its Suki Platform business lets telehealth and EHR vendors such as Zoom and Sevocity embed its AI in their own products. That two-sided model, direct to health systems plus white-label, sets it apart from pure scribe vendors.
Suki has raised $168M, most recently a $70M Series D led by Hedosophia in October 2024 with a follow-on strategic investment from Zoom Ventures. It reports use across hundreds of health systems and clinics, with named deployments at MedStar Health and an enterprise-wide rollout at Rush, plus a group purchasing agreement with Premier covering thousands of hospitals. Its MEDITECH integration gives it a distinctive position in community and rural hospitals, and in 2025 it moved toward nursing workflows with a consortium of health systems.
What it does
- Ambient note generation from patient conversations
- Voice dictation and voice commands inside the EHR
- ICD-10 and HCC coding assistance
- Patient summaries and chart Q&A via Google Cloud
- Suki Platform lets other vendors embed its AI
- Nursing documentation platform in development
Where it's strong
- The widest deep EHR coverage in the category, including MEDITECH Expanse, which opens community hospitals rivals ignore.
- More than an ambient scribe: dictation, voice commands, and coding assist make it a broader clinical assistant.
- A Premier group purchasing agreement and an athenahealth preferred partner slot simplify procurement.
What buyers should weigh
- Total funding of $168M is a fraction of Abridge's or Ambience's, a real gap in a capital-heavy race.
- Growing reliance on white-label and platform deals (Zoom, Amwell, Sevocity) means some roadmap serves partners, not direct customers.
- Enterprise deployments like MedStar roll out in phases; ask for realistic timelines rather than announcement-day scope.
