CarePilot vs Nabla
Nabla users cut time in note by 9.5% against usual care (p=.02) in a December 2025 NEJM AI randomized trial of 238 outpatient physicians at a California academic health system, where DAX Copilot was the other arm. The tool ran in only about 29.5% of visits.
The one PubMed paper that names CarePilot is a 2026 satisfaction survey. Forty-four medical students documented a simulated headache visit, over 75% were satisfied on ease of use, and no accuracy or time saved was measured. The paper declares no conflicts although its authors include the vendor's CEO. A medical director who must show a board trial data has less to show with CarePilot.
Nabla fits a health system on Epic that wants ambient notes, dictation and coding suggestions, and its site now addresses health systems and API partners, so a four-physician office is outside it. CarePilot fits a practice working in athenaOne that wants coding and orders handled during the visit.
