Evidently vs Regard (2026)
Both read the longitudinal record with AI and surface what clinicians would otherwise miss. Evidently, based in San Francisco, reads the full record, including scanned documents, faxes and outside records from Care Everywhere and CommonWell, reasons over a medical knowledge graph that carries coding and quality rule sets, and returns findings linked to their source. Regard reads the record when a chart opens, recommends diagnoses the chart supports but the notes do not yet carry, and drafts the note around them inside the EHR. Choose Evidently for source linked findings across scanned and outside documents; choose Regard for diagnoses and a draft note at the point of documentation.
- Scanned documents, faxes and outside records need to be read, not only structured data.
- Findings should link to their source.
- Coding and quality rule sets should inform what is surfaced.
- The need is at the moment of documentation.
- Diagnoses the chart supports should be proposed before the note is signed.
- A draft note should be written inside the EHR.
This comparison is published by AI Health Index, an independent research platform that compares healthcare AI vendors objectively. Evidently and Regard are each graded against the same capability taxonomy, from each vendor's own public materials and the regulatory record, under the AI Health Index verification standard.

Each vendor in one paragraph
Written to be quoted whole. Each paragraph opens the AI Health Index profile of the vendor: what the product is, who buys it and what it does.
Evidently, based in San Francisco, sells Clinical Data Intelligence: AI that reads the full longitudinal record, including scanned documents, faxes and outside records from Care Everywhere and CommonWell, reasons across a medical knowledge graph (ICD-10, SNOMED, RxNorm, LOINC with HCC, HEDIS, PSI, MCC and CC rule sets) and delivers source traced output inside the EHR. Surfaces include AI chart summaries, drafted notes, Ask Evidently chat and Omni, a real time view of the patient.
Source: AI Health Index, September 2026
Regard reads the whole electronic health record when a clinician opens a chart, recommends diagnoses the chart supports but the notes do not yet carry, and drafts the note around them inside the EHR. The company's premise is that physicians see about 3 percent of the data in a chart.

Questions buyers ask
How do Evidently and Regard work with the EHR?
Evidently says it integrates with any SMART on FHIR enabled EHR and embeds inside the EHR, reads outside records from Care Everywhere and CommonWell, and UNC Health's executive director describes advancing integration with UNC's EHR; University of Iowa and Allina are also live. No integration documentation or listing names the write back path for drafted notes and suggestions.
With Regard, the technology page names native support for Epic and Cerner, plus generic FHIR servers, and shows chart loads over Epic FHIR R4 triggered when a clinician opens the chart; the app embeds in the EHR through SMART on FHIR, and the company announced an integration with Microsoft Dragon Copilot in 2025. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How are Evidently and Regard priced and sold?
In Evidently's case, the only commercial signal is a customer reported 6x return, which describes claimed value rather than cost.
For Regard, the company frames value as return per user (4x at Sentara), offers a free HCC gap analysis to size the revenue opportunity before contract, and states go-lives of six to ten weeks with a dedicated team. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How do Evidently and Regard handle patient data?
Evidently says Ask Evidently is built from the ground up around HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II compliance. It reads the whole record, including outside records from health information exchanges and scanned documents, and shapes outputs to each institution and clinician.
In Regard's case, the privacy policy (updated June 2026) covers website comments, cookies and embedded media only and says nothing about patient data. Nothing states how long chart data is retained, whether customer data trains or tunes any model, or what reaches OpenAI when the GPT-4 based features (Max, note drafting) run. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
Which settings and specialties do Evidently and Regard cover?
Evidently serves inpatient (admit notes, discharge summaries, CDI, denial appeals), outpatient and value based care (HCC review, care gaps), emergency medicine and perioperative work (pre operative and transplant review, registry abstraction, patient safety indicators).
With Regard, the product began with hospitalists and leads with inpatient measures (CC and MCC capture, DRG movement). The company says 250+ conditions are detected across specialties and announced expansion to new specialties toward all admitted patients in March 2026, and HCC Capture and Screening reach ambulatory populations. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified September 30, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
