● AMBIENT LISTENING — AI MEDICAL SCRIBE
Ambient Listening captures your clinical conversation in real time and converts it into a complete, structured note — before you leave the room.
THE PROBLEM
The documentation crisis isn't a productivity problem. It's a human problem. Every minute spent typing is a minute taken from the patient in front of you — or the family waiting at home.
Physicians spend an average of 1–3 hours after clinic finishing notes. It has its own name: pajama time.
Doctors spend 37% of the visit looking at a computer. Patients notice. Trust erodes. Outcomes suffer.
Administrative burden is the #1 cited reason physicians consider leaving medicine. The paperwork is winning.
Hiring scribes adds $40K–$60K per physician per year — and still requires supervision, training, and turnover management.
HOW IT WORKS
No scripted prompts. No keyword triggers. No buttons. Ambient Listening works exactly like it sounds — passively, invisibly, continuously.
DR: Tell me more about the chest tightness. When does it come on?
PT: Mostly when I climb stairs or walk fast. Started about three weeks ago.
DR: Any shortness of breath with it? Radiation to the arm or jaw?
PT: Some shortness of breath, yes. No pain elsewhere.

SUBJECTIVE
Patient reports exertional chest tightness onset 3 weeks ago. Worse with stair climbing and brisk walking. Associated dyspnea present. No radiation to arm or jaw.
ASSESSMENT
Stable angina pattern; rule out ACS. Order ECG, troponin, stress echo.
01
Tap once to start. The AI begins listening in the background — no ongoing interaction required from you or your patient.
02
Speak freely. Maintain full eye contact. Ambient Listening captures everything: chief complaint, history, exam findings, your clinical reasoning.
03
Our NLP engine maps the conversation to SOAP, DAP, or your custom template — disambiguating speaker roles, flagging clinical entities, and generating ICD-10 suggestions.
04
A draft note appears within 60 seconds of visit end. One review pass, your signature, and it flows into Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, or any FHIR-enabled EHR.
WHY AMBIENT LISTENING
No microphone placement rituals. No mid-sentence commands. Works with your existing habits — not against them.
Trained on millions of real clinical encounters. Understands medical shorthand, drug names, anatomical context, and specialty terminology.
End-to-end encryption, on-premise deployment options, BAA-ready. Patient audio is processed and discarded — never stored. PHI stays yours.
Native FHIR R4 integration. Pre-built connectors for Epic, Cerner, Meditech, and athenahealth. Custom templates matched to your specialty.
Automatically detects missing HPI elements, incomplete ROS, and unsigned orders — before you leave the room.
Understands accents, medical code-switching, and bilingual consultations. Transcribes in English; notes output in your configured language.

BUILT FOR
Ambient Listening adapts to the clinical language, note templates, and workflow patterns of your specialty — out of the box.
High-volume, multi-problem visits where completeness and speed matter equally.
Session-specific DAP and BIRP templates. The patient never feels recorded — they feel heard.
Pre/post-op notes, consent discussions, and surgical summaries captured without a second hands on the keyboard.
Handles interruptions, rapid assessments, and multiple simultaneous patient contexts.
Captures video-call audio natively. Works with Zoom Health, Doxy.me, and custom telehealth platforms.
Standardizes documentation quality across a group practice while allowing per-specialty template customization.
"The best documentation system is the one that disappears. The one your physicians don't have to think about — because it thinks for them."

Healthtech ,
Remote patient monitoring app helps to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers. It tracks the vitals of the patients and sends it to the doctors.
Healthtech , AWS / Cloud ,
A healthcare startup struggled with increasing loads of data and manual infrastructure management as its business expanded. Peerbits successfully built cloud infrastructure using AWS for their system possessing auto-scaling, automated and more.
Healthtech ,
This is a native iOS app that helps to bridge the gap between the patients and healthcare providers. Patients can monitor their health on a regular basis and share the data with the doctors and healthcare professionals.
Yes — and we make it easy. Peerbits provides compliant consent workflows, including on-screen patient consent prompts and verbal consent scripts. Audio is processed in real time and not retained after note generation, which simplifies the consent conversation significantly.
Our model is specifically trained on clinical acoustic environments — exam rooms, hallways, behind exam-table paper noise. We achieve >96% word-level accuracy in standard conditions. Noise suppression filters and speaker-diarization separate physician from patient speech even when voices overlap.
We ship pre-built connectors for Epic (certified), Cerner Oracle Health, athenahealth, Meditech Expanse, and eClinicalWorks. Any FHIR R4-compliant EHR can be integrated via our open API. Implementation typically takes 2–4 weeks, not months.
Always. The draft note appears in a review pane alongside the original transcript. Physicians can edit inline, regenerate any section, or compare the AI output against the raw transcript. Our correction feedback loop improves accuracy over time for each individual physician's vocabulary and style.
Peerbits offers both. Our cloud SaaS tier is fastest to deploy — onboarding in under 72 hours. For health systems requiring on-premise deployment, air-gapped environments, or deep EHR workflow customization, we offer a fully custom implementation with dedicated engineering support.
We execute Business Associate Agreements with all clients as standard. Audio is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). By default, audio is deleted within 60 seconds of note generation. We are SOC 2 Type II audited and can provide documentation to your compliance team on request.
