About
Lyrebird Health is an AI medical scribe. The product listens to consultations in the background, transcribes the conversation, and writes a clinical note in the doctor's preferred format ready to drop into the medical record. The Australian GP and ED communities have moved fast on this category and Lyrebird has emerged as one of the most-used products in that segment. Reported clinician users describe 90 percent reductions in note-taking time and three to four times more clinical detail captured compared to manual notes. Founded in Melbourne in 2023 by Linus Talacko and Kai van Lieshout. Came out of Y Combinator the same year and has scaled fast off the back of strong word-of-mouth in Australian general practice. The category is competitive. Heidi Health, also Melbourne-based, is a peer; international entrants like Abridge and Augmedix sit alongside. Lyrebird's stated differentiation is depth of integration with existing Australian practice management software.
