Clinicians at NewYork-Presbyterian, a New York City health system that runs hospitals and clinics under one organisation, will get AI tools from Doximity, an online network for US doctors. Staff at its two partner medical schools, Columbia University and Weill Cornell Medicine, will get them too.
Doximity and NewYork-Presbyterian announced the deal on 13 November 2026 but gave no pricing, contract terms, rollout date or number of clinicians who will get access.
NewYork-Presbyterian runs 10 hospitals and close to 350 sites in the New York area and has about 45,000 staff and affiliated doctors. Counting sites run by Columbia and Weill Cornell doctors as well, it provides care at more than 450 locations.
A Scribe And A Medical Search Tool
Doximity Scribe listens to a patient visit and drafts the doctor’s clinical note. Doctors can also dictate to it on the move and use it to prepare a patient’s chart, the record of their history and care, before an appointment. It runs from a phone or a desktop computer.
For questions, clinicians get Doximity Ask, which pulls up clinical information, points them to published research and helps with clinical notes. The company says Ask complies with HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), the US law that protects patient health information.
Clinicians will be able to open Ask from inside Epic, the electronic health record system, or software that holds digital patient records, used across all three institutions. That way they won’t have to switch programs. Doctors in training will get access once they reach set training milestones.
Since October 2026, Ask has also carried UpToDate, a widely used medical reference service, under a partnership with Wolters Kluwer, the Dutch information company that owns it.
Building On An Earlier Deal
NewYork-Presbyterian has used another Doximity product, Dialer, since 2021. Dialer lets doctors call or video-call patients without revealing their personal phone numbers.
“We’re proud to have supported the team at NewYork-Presbyterian in delivering excellent care for their patients since 2021,” said Aaron Kornetzke, general manager of enterprise solutions at Doximity. He said clinicians will now be able to handle calls, notes and treatment in one place.
Chif Umejei, chief information officer at NewYork-Presbyterian, said adding Scribe and Ask gives teams “a more connected set of tools across the clinical workflow”.
Doximity’s Push Into Hospital AI
Doximity is best known as a professional network and says more than 85% of US physicians are members. In recent years it has added AI tools, many offered free to individual doctors, and it also sells them to hospitals under organisation-wide contracts.
In 2025 Doximity bought Pathway, a six-person startup in Montreal, Canada, to expand its AI reference tool. Pathway’s software answers doctors’ questions on care guidelines, drugs and clinical trials. The acquisition was valued at up to $63M, including $26M in cash.
In its results for the quarter to September 2026, Doximity said more than 190 health systems had bought its AI tools. Revenue for the quarter rose 4% to $174.5M. Chief executive Jeff Tangney said the company was “investing heavily in AI”.
Rivals In The Exam Room
AI note-takers that listen to visits, often called ambient scribes, are the most widely adopted clinical use of AI among US health organisations, according to research firm KLAS. In this market Doximity competes with scribe startups such as Abridge and with Microsoft’s Dragon Copilot.
Mount Sinai, another large New York health system, began rolling out Dragon Copilot in late 2025 and planned to extend it across the system in 2026. In medical search, Doximity’s main rival is OpenEvidence, an AI tool that answers doctors’ clinical questions.
The deal builds on NewYork-Presbyterian’s use of Doximity’s calling tool since 2021 and adds note-taking and medical search, with search available inside Epic. How many clinicians will take up the tools, and on what terms, has not been disclosed.
