Innovative partnership with Comprehend Health accelerates documentation efficiency and supports better work-life balance for clinicians.
CORA’s commitment to innovation and clinician support was on full display earlier this month when Comprehend co-founders Jake Michalski and Chris Kendall visited the CORA Hunters Creek clinic in Florida to witness the platform in action. They met with physical therapist Steven Churchill, one of CORA’s early adopters, who shared how the tool has transformed his workflow.
“I don’t have to take notes home anymore,” said Churchill. “It means more time with eyes on patients and less time staring at a screen.”
Comprehend uses ambient listening to capture patient visits in real time, generating accurate, high-quality documentation that reflects each therapist’s voice and style. Designed to reduce the administrative burden on clinicians, the tool is already helping CORA therapists reclaim time, restore balance, and refocus on patient outcomes.
“This is my highest priority for the field of physical therapy,” said Javier (Javi) Othon, PT, President and CEO of CORA Physical Therapy. “We owe it to our clinicians to eliminate the friction in their day-to-day experience. Comprehend is more than a documentation tool—it’s a meaningful investment in the people who care for our patients. It protects their time, their energy, and their connection to purpose. That’s how we retain incredible talent, and that’s how we deliver exceptional care.”
The platform continues to evolve rapidly based on clinician feedback. In recent weeks, Comprehend rolled out support for telehealth sessions and pushed real-time bug fixes, including resolving a patient schedule sync issue within hours of it being reported.
“Our vision is a world where clinicians show up, help people get better, and go home,” said Jacob Michalski, CEO of Comprehend Health. “It starts with the AI scribe we built, but honestly, we see a future where clinicians don’t even need to touch a keyboard. We’re building toward an invisible solution that takes care of everything—so they don’t have to.”
With a full national rollout planned for July, CORA is actively training clinic managers and Comprehend champions through webinars and hands-on practice, ensuring every teammate is ready to hit the ground running.
