AI Medical Scribe
Apricot vs Nabla
Scores are legacy evidence and documentation scores, not product-performance ratings. How it is computed
A health system choosing among ambient scribes has a randomized trial behind Nabla. NEJM AI reported 238 outpatient physicians at a California academic health system in three arms: DAX Copilot, Nabla and usual care. Nabla users cut time in note by 9.5% against control, though the tool was used in roughly 29.5% of visits and about 15% of treatment physicians never used either product. Nabla sells ambient documentation and coding suggestions, plus dictation the vendor says is built into Epic. It has no public price, and its terms of sale state a monthly fee per authorized user in euros excluding VAT. The security page describes SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. Apricot's buyer is a home health agency, and its headline of up to 85% less charting time is a vendor claim with no method given. An Epic outpatient group's scribe and an agency's OASIS tool answer different questions.
