Enabling AI-Powered Clinical Documentation for Clinicians Serving Diverse Patient Populations

SAN FRANCISCO: Elation Health, the clinical-first technology company powering innovation in primary care, today announced a significant expansion of its AI-powered Note Assist product to now support 12 additional languages. With today’s update, clinicians can conduct patient visits in Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), German, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Tagalog, Hindi, Vietnamese, and Arabic, in addition to existing English and Spanish support.

Recognizing that conversations in clinical settings often shift between languages, Note Assist is designed to dynamically detect and adapt to multilingual dialogue. Whether switching between English and another supported language, or weaving between both in a single exchange, it ensures clinicians can engage seamlessly with patients and families. This fluid communication supports the creation of accurate English-language clinical notes, enhancing clarity in medical records and promoting consistent workflows. Research shows that when patients and physicians speak the same language there is “improved quality of care, including improved control of chronic medical conditions, greater health education received, and improved adherence to medications.”

"AI is helping us to do incredible things for the primary care community — not just reducing administration burden, but setting a higher bar for what clinicians should ask from their EHR technology partners," said Phill Tornroth, VP of Engineering at Elation Health. "Primary care is powerful because of the physician-patient relationship, and being able to communicate in a patient’s own language is a major part of that. Supporting live transcription across more languages is huge for our clinicians and their patients.”

Elation’s Note Assist is a deeply integrated EHR feature that goes beyond standard AI scribe tools to work as a member of the clinical team in primary care practices. The scribe feature uses patient chart context such as medical history and clinician-defined templates to produce precise, comprehensive notes.

Elation is committed to thoughtfully embedding AI capabilities throughout the clinical workflow to reduce administrative tasks and support clinicians in delivering valuable primary care to their communities. In April, Elation announced partnering with Seoul Medical Group, the nation’s largest Korean-American-focused Independent Practice Association serving more than 100,000 patients. And last summer, Astrana Health teamed with Elation to support their community of one million Americans in value-based care arrangements.

The new language capabilities are available to all Note Assist users today at no extra charge. For more information on Elation’s global language expansion, visit here.
