Heidi launches a mic for AI scribe - why? By Adam Ang | March 26, 2026 | 4:25 AM Heidi has launched a wearable microphone designed to provide clinicians with reliable audio capture for AI-assisted documentation without using phones or laptops. WHAT IT DOES Intended to support the Heidi AI Scribe, the new Heidi Remote enables consistent audio capture in noisy environments. Weighing 21 grams and offering up to 14 hours of battery life, it can be clipped onto clinical attire for use throughout a full workday. The device operates independently of phone battery and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing consultations to be captured offline and synced later when a connection is available. Heidi also said the device is built for frequent disinfecting and meets healthcare security standards, with all data encrypted. Heidi Remote will initially be available in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, with the European Union to follow shortly. WHY IT MATTERS As the use of AI scribes is increasingly becoming a standard in clinical documentation, the "weakest link" has always been the device in the room, said CEO Dr Thomas Kelly. Heidi built its own microphone after finding that existing consumer and third-party devices place what co-founder and CTO Yu Liu described as an "integration tax" when applied to specialised clinical workflows. "We found it nearly impossible to achieve a seamless experience using third-party software stacks," he told Mobihealth News. Integrating external hardware would have required redesigning core software around vendor constraints while creating risks to stability as systems on either side upgrade, he added. Heidi said clinical environments were never designed for AI listening, pointing to ageing computer terminals, shared workstations, and personal smartphones that were not built to support AI-assisted care. The company opted for a wearable microphone instead of room-based or fixed systems to better support clinical work across varied and mobile settings. "Clinical care isn't static," Liu said, noting that room-based systems and telehealth setups can fail in edge cases, such as ward rounds, high-mobility clinics, or rural settings with limited connectivity. The CTO said the wearable form factor is intended to eliminate "workflow anxiety," ensuring consistent audio capture despite noise, movement, and inconsistent device performance. THE LARGER TREND Heidi Remote is the company's first venture into hardware as it evolves beyond AI scribe into a broader clinical workflow platform that includes documentation, evidence retrieval, and patient communications tools. It followed the launch of Heidi Evidence, introduced in February, an ad-free medical research tool on its AI Scribe, and Heidi Comms, which assists with coordinating patient communications across calls, bookings, reminders and follow-ups. ON THE RECORD "Clinicians shouldn't have to wonder if a room-based microphone will catch the audio or if a spotty internet connection will disrupt their notes... Whether a clinician is in a high-tech metro hospital or a remote clinic, Heidi Remote provides the same reliable performance, solving for mobility and connectivity gaps that fixed infrastructure simply cannot," co-founder and CTO Yu Liu told this publication.
Heidi Health, an Australian AI healthcare startup valued at $660 million, has launched the Heidi Remote, a 21-gram wearable device designed to record patient consultations. The device processes data on-device rather than in the cloud, ensuring patient information never leaves the clinic. Founded during the COVID-19 pandemic by Dr Thomas Kelly, Waleed Mussa and Yu Liu, Heidi Health has been used in over 118 million clinical sessions across 116 countries. The platform is now employed by half of UK NHS GPs, saving primary care doctors up to 90 minutes daily. The company recently raised $102.7 million led by Point72 Private Investments. Kelly emphasises that Heidi will never monetise user data, maintaining strict ethical standards whilst using AI to reduce administrative burdens for clinicians.
Heidi, an AI care partner used in over 2.5 million patient interactions weekly, has launched Heidi Remote, a purpose-built wearable microphone for clinical audio capture. This marks the first hardware device designed by a clinical AI software company. The 21-gram device addresses reliability issues clinicians face when using personal phones or laptops for AI scribing in noisy clinical environments. It offers up to 14 hours of battery life, works offline, and is designed to withstand hospital-grade cleaning protocols. Heidi Remote complements the company's AI scribe platform, which has supported over 115 million sessions in 18 months, saving clinicians more than 320 million minutes. The device is part of Heidi's broader evolution beyond documentation, following recent releases of Heidi Evidence and Heidi Comms. Melbourne-based Heidi has raised $96.6 million from investors including Point72 Private Investments and Blackbird.

Moorthy - The Hindu Netaji's daughter seeks return of his remains Eight decades after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose disappeared, presumed dead in an air crash in Taihoku (Taipei, Taiwan) in 1945, his daughter, Anita Bose Pfaff, appeared before the Supreme Court Thursday in "support" of a petition seeking the return to India of his mortal remains, believed to have been preserved at the Renko-ji temple in Tokyo, writes Ananthakrishnan G for The Indian Express. The bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi declined to entertain the plea filed by Ashis Ray, Netaji's grandnephew, saying Pfaff should "step forward" and file a petition herself.

By Pragadish Kirubakaran in Media News on Friday, 13th March 2026 at 2:18pm Image edited by Dinesh Raj M It's not every day that a global press freedom watchdog writes directly to politicians asking for promises. But that's exactly what the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has done. Ahead of elections in Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Puducherry, the organisation has urged major political parties to include explicit commitments to protect journalists and uphold press freedom in their election manifestos (CPJ, 2026). While on paper it sounds like a routine advocacy exercise, in reality, it's quite alarming because when press freedom has to be negotiated through campaign promises, it means something deeper is shifting in the media ecosystem. The CPJ letters were sent to leaders, including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami and BJP state president Nainar Nagendran and they outline a familiar but growing list of threats.

TechAU's Cartwright releases third album - Automation. By Will McLennan in Media News on Friday, 13th March 2026 at 11:47am TechAU's Jason Cartwright has released his third album, titled Automation, which explores the topics of AI, automation and efficiency. Cartwright told Influencing, the album was reflective of the current state of the technology industry. "I think a lot about the application of AI in its many forms, and perhaps the most impactful on the horizon is the embodiment of AI in humanoid robotics. "AI is being expressed in many forms," he added; before remarking that the album also focuses on the spectrum of human responses in efforts to constrain AI as detailed in songs, 'The Three Laws' and 'Full System Access.' Automation had the target to be hard and aggressive with a strong mix of Electronic music, Dubstep, Rock, and Heavy Metal included. "The hard music is intentionally overlaid with elegant, passionate vocals that work well as a contrast."
