HIT Consultant published an article covering Nextech’s launch of Cora Scribe, an AI-powered clinical assistant built specifically for ophthalmology. The piece highlights how Cora Scribe is embedded directly within the EHR, capturing natural patient-provider conversations and converting them into accurate, structured documentation in near real time.
Unlike generic AI tools, Cora is designed around the nuances of ophthalmic workflows, enabling discrete data to flow into the appropriate chart fields—not just summarized notes. As the article outlines, this approach helps reduce administrative burden, improve documentation accuracy, and allow providers to stay more focused on patient care. The launch signals Nextech’s continued investment in specialty-specific innovation and its commitment to delivering AI that is practical, precise, and built for the realities of the exam room.
