Commure released version 2026.3.1 of its Pro iOS app. The headline addition is a widget that starts or resumes an AI Scribe session straight from the iOS Home Screen or Lock Screen, removing the app open and navigate steps before recording begins. The release also promotes AI Studio into the main tab bar for users with AI Scribe enabled, and opens the Scribe panel automatically when a new note is created.
Our readAmbient scribe adoption is decided by friction at the start of the encounter, since a clinician who has to unlock, find and open an app before a patient interaction will often simply not bother. Moving session start to the lock screen is a small change with a disproportionate effect on the percentage of eligible encounters that actually get captured. Health systems tracking scribe utilization rather than scribe accuracy should treat this as the more consequential release of the two.
