New York — Heidi, the AI Care Partner for clinicians, today announced that it has been named a winner in the Newsweek AI Impact Awards 2026 in the category of AI Health Care - Best Outcomes, Physician Satisfaction.
The award recognizes Heidi's impact on reducing the administrative tasks that consume clinicians' time and focus, restoring their presence in the room and driving measurable improvements in physician satisfaction. Heidi now supports 2.7 million patient visits every week across 190 countries, and has returned 47 million hours to frontline clinicians.

We built Heidi to absorb that burden, so the best clinicians in the world can spend their time where it actually matters. Being recognized by Newsweek for our work in AI-supported healthcare is a reflection of what the entire Heidi team puts into this every day.” said Dr Thomas Kelly, Co-Founder & CEO of Heidi.
