Tackling Clinician Burnout

应对临床医生职业倦怠

Freed exists to give clinicians time back in their day. Today’s clinicians face an overwhelming documentation workload, with many spending 19 hours per week on paperwork and administration.

Freed 的存在是为了让临床医生每天节省出更多时间。如今的临床医生面临着过多的文档工作量，许多人每周要花费 19 个小时在文书和行政工作上。

As a result, the U.S. healthcare system is facing a crisis of clinician burnout, with 50% of physicians reporting symptoms of burnout, and one-third of primary and acute care providers considering leaving the profession altogether. In fact, according to a recent report by the AAMC, the U.S. is set to face a shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036..

因此，美国医疗系统正面临医护人员职业倦怠的危机，50%的医生报告有职业倦怠的症状，三分之一的初级保健和急性护理提供者考虑完全离开这一行业。事实上，根据AAMC最近的一份报告，到2036年，美国将面临86,000名医生的短缺。

Freed tackles this burnout crisis head-on, using AI to automate documentation and reduce administrative friction. Freed’s AI scribe product, which automates the notetaking process, saves clinicians about 2 hours per day. Since Freed launched in 2023, the company has saved clinicians over 2.5 million cumulative hours..

Freed直面这一倦怠危机，利用人工智能自动化文档处理并减少行政摩擦。Freed的AI书记产品能够自动完成记录过程，每天为临床医生节省大约2小时。自Freed于2023年推出以来，该公司已为临床医生累计节省超过250万小时。

A Popular Solution Gives Rise to a Health-Tech Anomaly

一个流行的解决方案催生了一个健康科技领域的异常现象

Widespread early adoption has fueled Freed’s meteoric growth. Since launching in 2023, the company has expanded its user base to more than 17,000 paying customers across 96 specialties. Driven by its direct-to-clinician model, which bypasses the often slow procurement cycles of traditional hospital systems, Freed is seeing 4x YoY ARR growth at scale—reflecting a growth rate more typical of consumer SaaS companies like Slack and Zoom.

广泛的早期采用推动了Freed的飞速增长。自2023年推出以来，该公司已将其用户群扩展到96个专业领域的17,000多名付费客户。通过直接面向临床医生的模式，Freed绕过了传统医院系统通常缓慢的采购周期，实现了规模化的4倍年度经常性收入（ARR）同比增长——这一增长率更像是Slack和Zoom等消费级SaaS公司的典型表现。

After gaining popularity primarily among individual and small practices, the company is now seeing increasing demand from larger enterprises and group practices, whose clinicians are also in need of a solution that relieves them of administrative burden..

在首先受到个体从业者和小型诊所的欢迎后，该公司现在看到越来越多的大企业和集团诊所的需求，这些机构的临床医生也需要一种能够减轻他们行政负担的解决方案。

“Freed was built as a love letter to clinicians—starting with my wife, a family physician,” said Erez Druk, Freed’s Co-Founder and CEO. “My wife and her fellow clinicians dedicate their careers to caring for others, and they deserve to have a company that dedicates itself to caring for them. They deserve to live balanced lives that allow them to recharge.“.

“Freed的创建是一封写给临床医生的情书——首先从我的妻子，一位家庭医生开始，”Freed的联合创始人兼首席执行官Erez Druk说道。“我的妻子和她的同行们将职业生涯奉献给了照顾他人，他们值得拥有一家全心全意关怀他们的公司。他们应该过上平衡的生活，以便能够恢复精力。”

Freed’s origins stem from a deeply personal mission. After years of watching his wife, Dr. Gabi Meckler, spend nights and weekends finalizing patient notes, Druk teamed up with Freed CTO Andrey Bannikov to co-found the company. Both were former Meta engineers who brought years of tech and entrepreneurial experience to the project.

弗里德的起源源于一项非常个人化的使命。在目睹妻子加比·梅克勒博士多年来花费无数夜晚和周末整理患者笔记后，德鲁克与弗里德的首席技术官安德烈·巴尼科夫联手共同创立了这家公司。二人均为前Meta工程师，为该项目带来了多年的技术和创业经验。

They also collaborated with Druk’s longtime friend, Yonatan Loewidt, an entrepreneur who became an early investor..

他们还与德鲁克的老朋友，企业家约纳坦·洛伊维特合作，他成为了早期投资者。

“What drew me to Freed in the beginning was the relentless focus on solving a real, urgent problem for clinicians,” said Yonatan Loewidt, Freed Founding Investor and Board Member. “Watching the early prototypes we built from scratch evolve into a tool that is now used and loved by thousands of clinicians is incredibly rewarding.

“最初吸引我加入Freed的原因，是它始终专注于为临床医生解决一个现实且紧迫的问题，”Freed创始投资人兼董事会成员Yonatan Loewidt表示，“看着我们从零开始构建的早期原型，逐渐演变成如今被成千上万名临床医生使用并喜爱的工具，这让人感到无比欣慰。”

Freed is more than a product—it’s a movement to help clinicians reclaim valuable time in their day-to-day lives.”.

Freed不仅仅是一个产品——它是一场帮助临床医生重新获得日常宝贵时间的运动。"

“Freed的AI临床助理具有变革性，每周为数万名临床医生节省了大量时间。时间与快乐重新回到了临床医生手中，使他们能够提供更优质的护理，”红杉资本合伙人陈乔瑟表示。“医疗行业正在以前所未有的速度拥抱人工智能技术——而这仅仅是个开始。”

Freed’s human-centered approach embodies the belief that addressing the clinician burnout crisis head-on equates to fewer clinicians leaving medicine, more people entering medicine, and a healthier healthcare system with better patient outcomes. With Freed, clinicians can finally reclaim what matters most: their precious time and energy..

弗里德以人为本的方法体现了这样一种信念：直面医生职业倦怠危机，相当于减少医生离开医疗行业，吸引更多人加入医学领域，并打造一个更健康的医疗体系，带来更好的患者治疗效果。通过弗里德，临床医生终于可以重拾最重要的东西：他们宝贵的时间和精力。
