About Regard Our mission is to bring world‑class healthcare to everyone. Regard is an AI‑powered Proactive Documentation platform that advances how care is delivered by reviewing all patient data in the EHR to recommend diagnoses and surface clinical evidence. Regard drafts a note even before the physician sees the patient, enabling an approach that gets documentation right at the point of care - we call it Proactive Documentation. This improves quality of care, reduces physician burden, and improves hospital finances. We are excited by challenges, mission‑oriented work, and meaningful relationships. We work closely with some of the top health systems in the country and are leading the change that healthcare – one of the largest and most inefficient industries in the world – needs.
