Saykara has built an AI-powered platform that interprets physician-patient conversations and automatically converts salient content into clinical notes, orders, referrals, and other data for electronic health records. A voice-enabled assistant named Kara is accessed through a mobile app to support clinicians during patient encounters, and the service is offered as a scalable software-as-a-service solution applicable across various specialties. It operates without requiring manual data entry during visits, enabling physicians to spend more time with patients. Based in Seattle, Washington, Saykara was founded in 2015 by Harjinder Sandhu, a healthcare technology entrepreneur and former Nuance executive. Its customer base includes independent physician practices as well as hospitals, health systems, ambulatory surgery centers, and urgent care centers nationwide; in 2021, Nuance Communications acquired the company.
