REGARD

What REGARD does

Regard is a private US healthcare AI company founded in 2021 that sells an AI-powered clinical insights platform to hospitals and health systems. The platform ingests and maps millions of EHR data points — analyzing approximately 50,000 data points per patient compared to the 3% physicians typically review — to recommend diagnoses with supporting clinical evidence and generate proactive clinical documentation at the point of care. The platform operates across four integrated modules: Clinical Notes (diagnostic support), Mid-Revenue Cycle (denial prevention), HCC Capture (risk adjustment), and Screening (care gap identification), with Max, an AI agent built on OpenAI's GPT-4, supporting real-time clinician workflows and an integrated ambient scribe capturing patient-physician conversations. The company has deployed across 150+ hospitals in 20+ US states, including enterprise-wide deployments at Banner Health (33 hospitals) and Cedars-Sinai.

The company generates revenue through enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced on a quote-based, annual billing cadence typical of health system SaaS deployments, distributed via direct enterprise sales, EHR marketplace integration (Epic App Orchard, Smart on FHIR), and a strategic partnership with Microsoft Dragon Copilot. The platform is ONC 2015 Cures Update certified and ISO 9001 compliant, meeting the procurement requirements of large US health systems. Customer outcomes include 17% increases in CC/MCC capture, $9.3M in denials prevented at WakeMed, $7M revenue increase at Penn Highlands, and reported 4x ROI per user at Sentara Health. The company has raised $61 million in Series B funding led by Oak HC/FT (July 2024) with participation from Cedars-Sinai Health Ventures and existing investors TenOneTen, Calibrate Ventures, and Techstars. Headcount is reported at 81 employees with headquarters in Marina del Rey/Los Angeles, CA and a New York office.

Broad incumbents

• IKS Health: IKS Health is a broad incumbent providing technology-enabled clinical documentation, scribing, and revenue cycle services to health systems and hospitals. IKS competes with Regard across both ambient AI scribing and risk-adjustment/HCC capture workflows.
• Nuance DAX Copilot (Microsoft): Nuance DAX Copilot is Microsoft's ambient AI clinical documentation product, now directly integrated with Microsoft 365 and clinician workflows. It is both Regard's partner (via Dragon Copilot) and a broad incumbent competitive force in ambient clinical documentation for health systems.
• Epic Systems: Epic is the dominant EHR platform on which Regard is built and integrated; Epic is also building native AI ambient documentation and clinical decision support capabilities via Cosmos and its App Orchard. Epic is both Regard's core distribution substrate and a potential competing incumbent as it expands native AI.

Direct peers

• Nabla: Nabla is a direct competitor offering an ambient AI medical scribe that generates clinical notes from patient-physician conversations and integrates into EHR workflows. Both Nabla and Regard sell to hospitals and health systems looking to reduce clinician documentation burden.
• Suki AI: Suki is a direct competitor providing an AI clinical assistant and ambient scribe for physicians, generating documentation and clinical notes within EHRs. Both companies compete for the same enterprise health-system ambient documentation budgets.
• DeepScribe: DeepScribe is a direct competitor building ambient AI medical scribes for specialty practices and health systems, generating draft clinical notes from patient encounters. Both target documentation burden in the same buyer base.
• Augmedix (Commure): Augmedix (now part of Commure) is a direct competitor providing ambient medical documentation and AI-augmented scribing services to health systems; both compete for hospital documentation automation and ambient note generation.
• Abridge: Abridge is a direct competitor building AI-powered ambient clinical documentation and clinical conversation summarization for health systems, targeting the same physician burnout and EHR documentation problem Regard addresses. Both companies generate clinical notes from patient-physician encounters and integrate with major EHRs.
• Ambience Healthcare: Ambience is a direct competitor offering an AI medical scribe and CDI/coding platform for hospitals and health systems, generating clinical documentation from ambient conversation capture. Both compete for the same mid-revenue cycle, HCC capture, and ambient documentation wallet share.

Emerging players

• Commure (Athelas): Commure/Athelas is an emerging healthcare AI platform offering ambient documentation and revenue cycle solutions to hospitals and physician groups. They partially overlap with Regard in documentation automation and are scaling into enterprise health systems.
