At a glance
What we observed in this category
Suki and DeepScribe share the top composite score of 28.8, each posting 25.0% visibility and 37.5% citation rates, against a category average visibility of just 7.5%. Abridge holds the highest raw visibility at 37.5% but scores lower overall at 26.2%, meaning the gap at the top is narrower than it first appears. The distance between rank 5 (Ambience Healthcare, composite 20.0) and rank 6 (Nuance DAX, 17.5) is small, but below rank 7 the field collapses sharply, with Augmedix and Microsoft Dragon Copilot registering composite scores of zero.
Abridge illustrates the clearest divergence between visibility and citation in this category: it appears in 37.5% of AI responses but receives zero citations, making it a named brand that Google AI Mode does not treat as a trusted source. Nuance DAX shows the same pattern, with 25.0% visibility and zero citation. By contrast, Freed and Ambience Healthcare each achieve 37.5% citation despite only 12.5% visibility, meaning the AI cites them as sources even when not prominently naming them. Heidi Health is an edge case, with zero visibility but a 12.5% citation rate.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 20 brands in this audit, with no other engine registering as a top performer for any brand. Among the top cited external sources, getfreed.ai appears directly alongside third-party domains such as patientnotes.ai, assemblyai.com, glass.health, and pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. The presence of YouTube and developer-oriented sources like ishir.com and trytwofold.com suggests the AI is drawing on practitioner review content and technical explainers, not just vendor-owned pages, when constructing answers in this category.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
