THE LARGER TREND
In 2024, Cincinnati Children’s expanded its partnership with Andor Health with the goal of improving access to care for complex patients. Cincinnati Children’s uses ThinkAndor to allow care provision for patients in primary care and in the specialty care space.
The tool is used by providers, nurses and allied healthcare professionals to offer care to patients at home.
Also last year, AI-enabled ambient automation platform Augmedix became fully integrated into Andor Health’s ThinkAndor platform.
The partnership allows physician notes to be produced directly within ThinkAndor Virtual Visit, permitting AI-generated notes to be accessible seconds following a virtual visit.
In addition in 2024, Andor Health added 28 new health systems to its portfolio including Emory Health and Ballad Health.
It also entered into strategic business deals, including partnerships to leverage Google Cloud MedLM, Vertex Search and BigQuery.
