📢LATEST IN AI

🌟Epic just nuked a $1B AI scribe industry overnight

Epic announced its own AI scribe—and within 24 hours, $1 billion worth of funded startups lost 80% of their customer base.

Highlights:

Epic’s AI scribe launch instantly undercut leaders
Customers jumped ship because Epic bundled the same capabilities
Industry insiders warn this will spark a “feature war,”
Epic controls a $254–$329B market—while scoring 45.9/100 on usability
U.S. health innovation suffers under EMR monopolies.
Critics call Epic’s App Orchard a “graveyard” with opaque APIs

Why it Matters

This isn’t just about scribes—it’s about the death of healthcare AI innovation under closed, monopoly EMR systems. When the platform owner controls the data, they control the market. Until access and interoperability become standard, even the best AI products risk becoming unpaid R&D for entrenched incumbents.
