We built Heidi to absorb that burden, so the best clinicians in the world can spend their time where it actually matters. Being recognized by Newsweek for our work in AI-supported healthcare is a reflection of what the entire Heidi team puts into this every day.” said Dr Thomas Kelly, Co-Founder & CEO of Heidi.
