At HLTH, Notable launches with a voice-powered wearable app for physicians

A new startup, Notable, officially launched earlier this week at HLTH in Las Vegas. The San Mateo, California company offers a wearable voice-powered assistant aimed at helping doctors capture data during interactions with patients. During an interview at HLTH, Notable CEO Pranay Kapadia explained the idea for the company was born when his wife, a physician, came home and said she hated her job because of the administrative tasks involved. Numerous other doctors in his family also disliked the amount of time they spent on documentation and called themselves “click monkeys,” he said.
