Oracle Health Launches AI-Powered, Voice-Activated EHR for Ambulatory Providers in the U.S

The platform, built entirely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, represents the first major upgrade to Oracle’s EHR solutions since acquiring Cerner in 2022. 

Oracle Health has introduced a new electronic health record (EHR) system integrating artificial intelligence and voice navigation. The system is designed to simplify clinician interactions and support ambulatory care in the United States.

The platform, built entirely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, represents the first major upgrade to Oracle’s EHR solutions since acquiring Cerner in 2022. Unlike previous iterations, the system was developed from scratch rather than layered on top of existing technology. Oracle Health executives described it as a “voice-first solution” equipped with AI agents to provide “contextual and conversational” intelligence.

"Instead of drowning in a sea of screens and clicks, clinicians can simply use voice commands to ask for the necessary information, such as a patient’s recent lab results and current medications. Designed in partnership with providers on the front lines, this secure, voice-first solution is reimagining care by empowering clinicians with personalized, streamlined workflows," the company stated.

Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager at Oracle Health and Life Sciences, emphasized the rationale for building a new platform. “We took on the enormous and highly complex challenge of creating an entirely new EHR, built in the cloud for the Agentic AI era. Our agents act as smart assistants that can dynamically surface critical insights and queue suggested actions while enabling clinicians to remain in control. This is the future of intelligent care, where our healthcare providers are freed from technical baggage to focus on caring, connecting, healing, and preventing illness,” Verma said.

The AI agents are trained on clinical concepts, including conditions, lab results, medications, and care pathways. This enables the system to interpret clinical meaning and provide actionable insights, such as linking medications to specific conditions to enhance clarity and reduce risk. The system’s open architecture allows customers to extend Oracle’s AI agents, develop custom agents, or integrate third-party models.

Oracle plans to expand the platform’s capabilities to acute care in 2026. Current deployment is limited to ambulatory providers pending regulatory approvals. According to KLAS Research, Oracle’s share of the acute care hospital EHR market is 22.9%, slightly down from 23.4% a year prior. The company lost 74 hospitals and over 17,000 beds in 2024, while rival Epic increased its market share to 42.3%.

“The availability of the ambulatory EHR highlights Oracle’s fundamental focus on delivering an immersive, AI-first, and cloud-based solution designed to optimize clinical workflows and reimagine clinician and patient experiences," said Mutaz Shegewi, senior research director at IDC.

The launch coincides with Epic’s annual User Group Meeting, where Epic is expected to introduce its own AI-powered clinical documentation tool. Oracle’s platform is positioned to offer faster access to information, reduce context switching, and integrate AI directly into clinical workflows, addressing longstanding clinician frustrations with EHR usability.
