After two months of testing, the Department of Veterans Affairs Health System has selected Contrast as a finalist in their AI Tech Sprint to reduce healthcare provider burnout. Competing alongside industry giants like Nuance (acquired by Microsoft for $20 billion), Abridge ($200 million in funding), and Deep Scribe ($50 million in funding), Contrast has distinguished itself as a leader in the healthcare technology space, proving that innovation and user-centered design can coexist at the frontier of clinical documentation.

Founded on the principle that healthcare providers should focus on patient care rather than administrative tasks, Contrast offers an AI-powered clinical documentation solution that saves time and enables high-quality, data-driven patient care. The Contrast platform integrates with existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and provides a suite of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation capabilities in a modern user interface. Contrast is able to save 2 hours of physician time in each 8-hour workday, unlocking the potential for increased patient volume, enhanced quality of medical care, and a tangible work-life balance for healthcare providers.
