Better outcomes, lower costs, and aligned with patient preferences: it’s no surprise large insurers are scooping up home health providers.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=78586\u0026key=user_uploads/932678/56616808-3fe2-4b7d-8bdb-b670e0ed70e2)\n\n### **The problem: too much charting**\n\nOn the ground, however, we’re seeing widespread burnout among nurses. The worst part of the job is documentation, which can take 90 minutes for a single patient and costs agencies $8B per year. Agencies that employ these nurses struggle to submit _high-quality_ documentation in a _timely_ manner, which is hurting their top line.\n\n### **The solution: an AI scribe**\n\nAndy is an AI-powered ambient scribe designed specifically for home health nurses. Nurses record their visits using their Andy app and receive a chart completed by Andy straight into their EHR. With Andy, the 90-minute documentation process is now a 15-minute review.\n\n### **Meet Team Andy**\n\nWe’re a healthcare \u0026 AI team focused on pressing public health challenges. America’s rapidly aging population needs home health. We’re building tools to restore joy \u0026 connection to the profession.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=78586\u0026key=user_uploads/932678/325091cd-9334-41c7-a3c0-551987559a77)\n\n* [**Tiantian Zha**](https://linkedin.com/in/tiantianzha) previously led an AI and robotics project at Google Life Sciences to eliminate mosquito-borne diseases, a public health challenge affecting 400M people each year.\n* [**Max Akhterov**](https://linkedin.com/in/akhterov) previously built health AI algorithms for the Apple Watch, including the passive detection of atrial fibrillation which is running on 50M devices.\n\n### **How you can help**\n\nDo you know any home health operators?
