Mr. Shakil has been a member of the Augmedix board since April 2013, and previously served as CEO of the company from 2013 - 2018. In his role, he manages corporate strategy and development, business development and partnerships. Mr. Shakil has a B.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University, and an M.B.A. from Stanford University Graduate School of Business. Augmedix is on a mission to help clinicians and patients form a human connection at the point of care without the intrusion of technology. Augmedix’s products extract data from natural physician-patient conversations and convert it to medical notes in real time, which are seamlessly transferred to the EHR.
Ambient AI promises a second coming for technology at the point of care enabling EHR systems to elegantly work for providers in the background, in natural workflows and “in conversation,” versus requiring the provider and patients to step aside, waste time, and “feed the beasts” of legacy transactional systems.
