Aura AI Scribe vs CarePilot
CarePilot names athenaOne as its EHR, and its page structured data also lists DrChrono. It writes diagnoses to the problem list, orders to the queue and charges to the encounter, with two weeks free and one per-provider monthly price set by practice size and visit volume on a call. The published CarePilot study used 44 medical students on a simulated headache visit, 13 of them neutral or dissatisfied, with the CarePilot founder among the authors. Aura joined the athenahealth Marketplace in January 2025 and posts Pro at $39.99 per month and Team at $79.99 per clinician per month, the tier that lists EHR integration. An athenahealth group that wants drafted orders and codes written into athenaOne takes CarePilot. One that wants a figure before it books a call finds CarePilot trailing Aura Team.
