Company
Hippo Scribe
AI assisted documentation for PT/OT/SLP
We built an AI scribe that listens to therapy sessions and generates a first draft of clinical documentation within minutes. It then syncs the reviewed notes to the EMR in seconds. Our product helps physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists cut their documentation time by 70%.
We live in San Francisco, CA and the company is based here now, and it will remain here after YC.
We're in San Francisco because it's where our founders live and it gives us access to technical talent and the healthcare tech community.
