Company profile
researched Aug 2026Robin Healthcare develops technology for automating clinical documentation. A HIPAA-compliant device is placed in the provider's exam room, with patient consent, and captures the natural conversation between physician and patient without requiring dictation, trigger words, or any interaction from the clinician. Conversational speech recognition drafts the encounter note, which is then reviewed through a quality assurance process performed by a human workforce, so that the completed note is waiting in the electronic medical record for the physician to review and sign.
Beyond note creation, the company's technology is described as capturing structured clinical data, supporting care coordination, and auditing charts for compliance and billing purposes. The approach blends machine learning, artificial intelligence and voice recognition with clinical knowledge, remote medical scribes and care coordinators. Scribes log into Robin's software to write and complete notes for assigned physicians' clinics, reporting to a "Chief" who supervises their work.
Founding story
The company was founded in early 2017 in Berkeley, California by Emilio Galan and Noah Auerhahn, with the premise that the nucleus of medical data sits in the patient room, where roughly 80% of medical spending originates, and with the aim of reducing physician burnout and administrative burden.
Business model
Robin sells its documentation service to physician practices, which are billed on a per-clinic basis and only pay when the service is used. The offering combines a hardware device installed in exam rooms with software and a human workforce that performs quality assurance and note completion.
Recurring service fees charged per clinic, billed only when the service is used.
Traction
As of its June 2018 launch, the company reported integrations with eight EHR systems and named customers in orthopedic care. A third-party employer listing categorizes the company in the 250-1,000 employee range, reflecting its scribe workforce.

Market position
Robin Healthcare competes in the market for voice-driven clinical documentation tools, alongside companies such as Suki and Notable, which pursue smartphone/app- and Apple Watch-based approaches respectively.
Company leadership positions the product's simplicity as its main distinction: unlike iPad-, smartwatch- or earpiece-based tools that require the physician to take an action, Robin's device is simply placed in the room and requires no dictation or special commands. Management also states the system can document both routine encounters and appointments involving patients with complex care needs.
Technology
An exam-room hardware device paired with conversational speech recognition and machine learning models, integrated with eight EHR systems as of 2018, plus a human quality-assurance layer of remote medical scribes; the system is described as HIPAA-compliant and also used to audit charts for compliance and billing.
Go-to-market
The company sells directly to physician practices, initially concentrating on orthopedics and other surgical subspecialties, and recruits medical scribes, including gap-year pre-medical candidates, to staff the note-completion workforce.
Physician practices, with an initial focus on orthopedics and other surgical subspecialties; disclosed customers include Webster Orthopedics and San Francisco Orthopedic Surgeons Medical Group.
Geography
Headquartered in Berkeley, California (2930 Domingo Avenue), with an office in Austin, Texas (2222 Rio Grande St). Early customers were located in California.
History
Emilio Galan and Noah Auerhahn founded the company in Berkeley, California in early 2017. It operated in stealth until June 2018, when it publicly launched its exam-room voice device and disclosed $3.5 million in seed financing led by IA Ventures with Social Leverage and Meridian Street. By that point it had integrations with eight EHR systems and customers including Webster Orthopedics and San Francisco Orthopedic Surgeons Medical Group. The company has also operated from an Austin, Texas office, where medical scribes worked as early as 2018 and into 2020.
