Suki, a leader in artificial intelligence for healthcare, has been selected as a Preferred Solution Partner by athenahealth, a major provider of network-enabled software and services for healthcare practices and systems. This designation highlights athenahealth’s formal recommendation of Suki in the ambient intelligence category, making it a trusted, validated solution for its network of 170,000 providers. Suki’s technology integrates seamlessly with athenaOne through two channels: the Suki for Clinicians app available in the athenahealth Marketplace and athenahealth’s Ambient Notes offering powered by Suki’s embedded technology via Suki for Partners.
“Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform clinical practice, but it needs to be deeply embedded, easy to use, and designed for scale,” said Punit Soni, CEO and Founder of Suki. “This partnership not only accelerates innovation but removes workflow friction and ensures that ambient intelligence can reach every corner of the athenahealth network - fulfilling a shared commitment to rethinking what is possible for clinicians.”
The collaboration positions Suki’s AI assistive technology within daily athenaOne workflows, enabling providers to focus on patient care rather than documentation. Fast-track integration access ensures Suki can quickly align with future athenaOne enhancements.
“We’re committed to bringing our customers solutions that improve efficiency, reduce burnout, and enhance patient care,” said Michael Palantoni, Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer at athenahealth. “By adding Suki to our Preferred Solution Partner Program, we’re able to offer our customers industry leading ambient clinical intelligence experiences that seamlessly interface with athenaOne workflows. Suki is a trusted partner, and its proven technology aligns strongly with the future of our network’s AI infrastructure.”
Suki’s Ambient Clinical Intelligence (ACI) layer is embedded at the point of care, unlike standalone add-on tools. It supports major EHRs and care settings, delivering higher practice satisfaction (81% average increase), greater efficiency, faster reimbursement, and approximately $1,688 in incremental monthly revenue per user. The partnership strengthens Suki’s reach across athenahealth’s extensive ecosystem while reinforcing athenahealth’s commitment to innovative, interoperable solutions that reduce complexity for ambulatory practices.
