Province-Wide AI Scribe Access: Empathia AI’s $50/Month Plan Covers All BC Health Authorities and Major Hospitals, Featuring Built-in Telemed and Smart Edit!
December 2025
The Next Chapter for AI Scribe in BC Healthcare
Following a successful pilot under the AI Scribe BC initiative, Empathia AI is proud to extend ongoing access to clinicians across all major BC Health Authorities. This means physicians, dentists, NPs, PAs, and allied health clinicians working in some of the province's busiest hospitals can now access the Empathia Premium Plan for $50/month (annual)—the lowest rate ever offered to Health Authority providers.
Why BC is moving from BYOAI to managed AI scribing
British Columbia is one of the first provinces treating AI scribing as a governed, system level program rather than an individual tool choice. Canadian Healthcare Technology reports that the BC Scribe Trial was designed to evaluate whether third party AI scribes can be supported and scaled responsibly across a public healthcare system, with the program supporting evaluation across approximately 8,000 providers. The initiative intentionally brought six commonly used tools into a structured, health authority compliant environment, focusing on system readiness and requirements like privacy, security, data stewardship, and clinical governance rather than endorsing a single vendor.
The evaluation is guided by Canada Health Infoway’s Technology Evaluation Framework and extends beyond usability to include privacy, security, interoperability, clinical safety, and implementation readiness.
