About Us

Meet the team behind DocuMed AI.

Two physicians’ frustrations turned into innovation

DocuMed AI was born out of the real-world experiences of husband-and-wife physician duo, Dr. Furquan Waseem (neurologist) and  Dr. Sana Kang (rheumatologist).

An all-too-familiar story

Dedicated physicians and parents to three daughters, Dr. Waseem and Dr. Kang found themselves in a constant struggle to balance their clinical duties, administrative tasks, and family responsibilities.

“My only options were the stress and frustration of rushing the entire day to finalize notes before leaving or finishing my charting at home—just to catch up and start it all over again the next day. 

Neither choice was optimal for my patients, my family, or my own well-being.”

“Most days I would see 15 or more patients, spend my entire lunch break replying to messages, then pick my kids up from school, still with 15 notes left to document and bill.

Evening would roll around and I’d realize I couldn’t relax or go to bed any time soon, as I still have notes to finish.

Finding a Better Way 

Dr. Waseem and Dr. Kang tried all the usual solutions in search of an answer (pre-built documentation templates, dictation, and human medical scribes), but all lacked the flexibility, reliability, and true time-savings they really needed.

Aware that many other physicians shared their struggles, the pair assembled a small team of developers to build a prototype AI medical scribe to automate key clinical documentation tasks.

Extensive testing and feedback was sought from other clinicians to improve the product before bringing it to market.

Supporting IMGs and independent practices

As international medical graduates (IMGs), Dr. Waseem and Dr. Kang are well aware of the additional stress and cognitive burden that physicians with English as a second language face when completing clinical documentation.

Both found that DocuMed AI virtually eliminated the pressure of triple-checking every note to ensure there are no grammatical errors or suboptimal word choices. 

Now, thanks to DocuMed AI, IMGs can focus solely on ensuring the clinical accuracy of AI-transcribed notes, preserving their time and mental energy for higher-value activities.

Beyond efficiency: Reclaiming control of your life

The goal of DocuMed AI has always been to help physicians work smarter, not harder.

We help clinicians:

  • Be reimbursed fairly through more accurate coding and documentation.
  • Leave work on time to be present with family and loved ones.
  • Reduce burnout by minimizing documentation-related stress.
  • Rediscover the joy of medicine by having more time for rewarding tasks.
  • Deliver higher-quality care by focusing on patients, not computer screens.

Core values

01

Physician-first innovation

We know that when doctors thrive, everyone benefits. Therefore, our tools are hyper-focused on automating the menial tasks related to clinical practice, allowing physicians to devote more time and energy to the high-value work that makes a meaningful impact.

02

Ethical AI stewardship

AI is a powerful tool, but it must be guided by principled human oversight, especially in medical settings. We develop responsibly, ensuring there is always a “physician in the loop.” This approach ensures that AI is used as a tool to enhance, not replace, human-led clinical care. 

03

Inclusive healthcare technology

We believe in developing inclusive tools that enhance the practice and well-being of clinicians from all backgrounds. Our mission is to remove the barriers that make it more difficult for smaller providers and culturally diverse physicians to share their gifts with the world.

04

Focus on what matters most

Healthcare is fundamentally about human connection and the healing process. To realize the full benefits of AI in medicine, we believe that technology should deliver more than efficiency—it must enhance human-human experiences and outcomes in all levels of care delivery.
