Matic Marks a Year of Momentum: From a Single Ambient Scribe to a 15x-Growth Clinical Intelligence Ecosystem Powering Patients, Practices and Physicians
Published
2 months agoon
By
In one year, Matic grew its revenue 15x, cut after-hours charting 83% for physicians, earned a 100% would-buy-again rating from KLAS Research, and evolved from a single ambient scribe into an AI-native ecosystem built around patients, practices and physicians across healthcare.
DALLAS, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — One year ago, before going into stealth, Matic offered a single product, Scribematic, a best-in-class ambient scribe. Recently, Matic came out of stealth when it launched its AI-native clinical intelligence ecosystem connecting the full care-to-collection lifecycle for patients, physicians, and practices. That progress is backed by independent industry recognition, a marquee partnership with a physician-led primary care network, and revenue growth that reflects accelerating demand across the healthcare system.
Matic now connects panel management, chart preparation, ambient documentation, clinical evidence, medical coding, practice oversight, patient communication, and care coordination into a single ecosystem built around what the company calls the Three P’s: Patients, Practices, and Physicians. The result: patients get the best care, practices get the best economics, and physicians fall back in love with practicing medicine.
Where It Started: One Scribe, One Stubborn Belief
Matic’s story starts with two paths colliding from opposite directions. Dr. Alex Sheppert, DO, PhD, MBA, an AI engineer and published AI researcher, founded Scribematic while in medical school, building one of the world’s first ambient scribes to solve a problem he was living firsthand: the burden of clinical documentation. Calvin Carter spent nearly two decades on the other end of the technology spectrum as founder and CEO of Bottle Rocket, creating award-winning consumer apps for brands like Chick-fil-A, NPR and Southwest Airlines. Rather than simply commercialize what Sheppert built, Carter stepped in as CEO, moved the company to Dallas, and rebuilt it from the ground up around one belief: serve the physician first, and everyone else wins. That partnership, a physician-programmer and a design mind, is why Matic works the way it does. It gives physicians superpowers to deliver the best care of their lives, and takes care of everything else.
In November 2025, the company rebranded from Scribematic to Matic, marking its evolution into a connected platform spanning the entire care-to-collection lifecycle. Codematic, its medical coding and revenue-integrity product, launched the same month, and UrgentIQ, a leading AI-native urgent care EHR, selected Matic Inside to power real-time, in-platform documentation.
Building the Full Ecosystem
What followed was a rapid build-out of what Matic calls ‘The Matics’: a total solution, not a point solution. Every piece, from chart preparation to medical coding, carries forward and builds on itself instead of solving one task in isolation. Patient history informs documentation, documentation informs coding, and evidence informs decisions in one connected system.
The ecosystem today includes:
Scribematic: ambient, multilingual clinical documentationCodematic: clinical-intent medical coding and revenue integritySummatic: longitudinal patient context and continuity across encountersProofmatic: citation-backed clinical evidence with patient context inside the workflowFlowmatic: care-flow coordination across teams and settingsPulsematic: intelligent prioritization of the clinical inbox
Independent Validation
The market has taken notice. In January 2026, KLAS Research named Scribematic an Emerging Company in AI-driven medical documentation, citing accuracy, deep customizability, and a 100% repeat-buy intent among interviewed customers. The following month, Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine chose Matic to prepare its medical students for AI-enabled clinical practice, a full-circle moment for the platform born in Noorda’s own clinical rotations. Catalyst Health Group selected Matic to deploy across its network of primary care physicians, and UrgentIQ, a leading AI-native urgent care EHR, integrated Matic Inside to power its real-time, in-platform documentation.
Founder and CTO Dr. Alex Sheppert, DO, PhD, MBA, has also become a recognized voice in healthcare AI. In the past year, he’s published peer-reviewed research in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association and the International Journal of Medical Informatics on how large language models reason, and sometimes fail, in clinical settings, written for the Forbes Technology Council on AI’s expanding role in the workplace, and delivered invited lectures at Baylor University Medical Center and his alma mater, Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine. CEO Calvin Carter has drawn similar recognition: he was named to the 2026 AI 75 by Dallas Innovates and the Dallas Regional Chamber, and is a finalist for D CEO’s 2026 Leadership Excellence Award.
Exiting Stealth: The New PX
In June 2026, Matic exited stealth with what it calls the New PX, a fully reimagined Patient, Practice and Physician experience engineered by that same founding pair: Dr. Alex Sheppert, DO, PhD, MBA, the physician-programmer who lived the problem firsthand, and Calvin Carter, founder of Bottle Rocket, whose team built award-winning digital experiences for Chick-fil-A, NPR, Southwest Airlines, LEGO and Starwood/Marriott, work recognized four times in Apple’s App Store Hall of Fame. Carter’s track record has been chronicled by Dallas’ business press: he’s a past winner of Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year and Tech Titans’ CEO of the Year, a repeat honoree on D CEO Magazine’s Dallas 500 list, and was named to the 2026 AI 75 by Dallas Innovates and the Dallas Regional Chamber. He’s also a finalist for D CEO’s 2026 Leadership Excellence Award. D CEO and D Magazine have continued to track his move into healthcare, most recently profiling Matic’s mission to bring AI into clinical care.
The New PX is built on three governing principles: start with the stakeholders- physicians, patients, and practices, not the billing system; design for experience, not just function; and win through engagement, not mandates. Every capability inside Matic is designed, tested, and refined inside a live clinical environment rather than shipped as a fixed, generic tool and left for physicians to adapt around.
“Human-centered design is at our core. We reimagined the experience for what we call the Three P’s: patients, practices and physicians. We built, deployed and tested solutions until we were certain we served all three at once.” – Calvin Carter, CEO of Matic
A Declaration for Primary Care
Weeks later, timed to the country’s 250th birthday, Matic and Catalyst Health Group (the physician-led, AI-native primary care network founded by Dr. Christopher Crow, MD, MBA, supporting more than 850+ physicians and advanced practice providers across Texas) issued a joint Declaration of Independence for Primary Care, outlining Ten Fundamental Freedoms for Physicians and sharing the first public results of Matic deployed at scale inside a real physician network. Catalyst physicians reported dramatic reductions in unlocked charts, near-immediate note completion, and a return to the kind of present, human care that drew them to medicine in the first place.
“Primary care has been marginalized or undervalued for a long time, even though we know it’s what helps people live longer, healthier and more meaningful lives. Our job is to put primary care back where it belongs and give physicians the support they need to do what they do best: care for patients. That’s where Matic comes in, using technology to take work off their plate, sharpen their thinking, and bring the human connection back into care.” – Dr. Christopher Crow, MD, CEO of Catalyst Health Group
“When you serve the physician first, everyone benefits. Physicians deliver better care, patients get better outcomes, and practices thrive. Catalyst Health Group has proven that in real clinical use, and we are just getting started.” – Calvin Carter, CEO of Matic
The Numbers Behind the Momentum
This Declaration isn’t just a statement of intent. It’s validated by results. Across the Catalyst physician network, Matic has turned physician burnout, long treated as an unavoidable cost of practicing medicine, into a measurable, moving number:
Speed, per encounter:
60 seconds: physician fully prepared for patient encounter35 seconds: customized coding-aware clinical note from live audio11.2 minutes: average encounter length due to complete prep and reduced administrative tasks. What looks like a faster visit is actually a more attentive one: physicians spend that time examining, listening, and talking with patients instead of reconstructing a chart.Under a minute: nonuple-checked diagnosis and billing codes, returned with the clinical evidence attached.
Scale and reliability:
97%: same-day chart closure rate across tracked encounters99%: ambient documentation accuracy
Physician impact:
Physicians using the platform report approximately 90 minutes of administrative time returned per dayDocumentation accuracy reported at 99% by adopting physicians, generated within seconds of each visitAfter-hours charting down 83% across the Catalyst networkThe ability to see up to 4 more patients each dayReduced revenue leakage and claims appeal costs100% reported loving practicing again, reduced cognitive burden, and increased preparedness for better care
Patient impact:
Care gaps surface before the patient is roomed rather than after the visit endsCare plans arrive complete and evidence-backed, grounded in the patient’s own history rather than a generic protocolFollow-up and inbox messages are handled with full patient context intactPatients report that time with their physician feels different, and that they feel more valued
One physician cleared a 17-chart backlog to fully closed documentation by lunchtime the day after adopting Matic. Physicians across the network describe the same shift: less time buried in a chart, more time with the person in front of them.
“Matic gives me back time and mental space. Instead of starting early, staying late, and digging through data, I can focus on the patient in front of me. It reduces the cognitive load and lets me practice medicine the way I intended.” – Dr. Doug Fullington, Catalyst Physician Group
“With Matic, I now walk into each visit fully prepared. I can focus entirely on the patient, be more thorough, and more present.” – Dr. Madhavi Ampajwala, Catalyst Physician Group
“You press a button and within seconds you have a complete note. The accuracy has been 99.9%, and it’s immediate.” – Dr. Phu Truong, Catalyst Physician Group
“A few months in, I’m seeing nearly twice as many patients and getting more done each day. My patients notice it too. They tell me they feel more attention when we’re together.” – Stephen Buksh, MD, Catalyst Physician Group
“We built Matic because I lived the problem. I know what it feels like to finish notes instead of being with my family, to look at a screen instead of a patient. A year ago we were solving one problem. Today we’re solving the whole system, and the market is telling us, in the fastest way it can, that this is the right problem to solve.” – Alex Sheppert, DO, PhD, MBA, Founder and CTO of Matic
Those outcomes are a big part of why Matic has grown revenue 15x since its founding rebrand, proof that when physicians win, the business does too.
What’s Next
Matic is now available to independent primary care practices, physician groups, ambulatory care organizations, and health systems, fully integrated with existing EHRs including the athenahealth ecosystem, and available to technology partners.

The Tethered Drone Pictured at Fort Benning Has a Name: Meet Hoverfly Spectre
Published
48 minutes agoon
October 5, 2026By
The tethered UAS pictured in coverage of the Army’s recent ISV-U trials was Hoverfly Spectre: the first and only TeUAS on the DCMA Blue UAS Cleared List
SANFORD, Fla., Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hoverfly Technologies, the world’s leading US-based tethered UAS provider, today confirmed its participation in recent U.S. Army Maneuver Battle Lab (MBL) field trials at Fort Benning, Georgia. Defense media outlets widely reported on the Army’s evaluation of tethered drones integrated onto an Infantry Squad Vehicle-Utility (ISV-U) to extend line-of-sight communications and surveillance.
What those headlines didn’t mention is the name behind the tethered drone featured in the imagery: Hoverfly Spectre TeUAS.
Industry commentators have framed the Fort Benning event as a test of an emerging concept. For Hoverfly, it was the next step in years of work. The trials built on more than 700 Hoverfly TeUAS fielded, five years of direct Soldier touch points, and numerous National Training Center rotations, each of which has shaped Spectre TeUAS into the system it is today. Fort Benning confirmed that work has produced a mature, combat-ready platform refined around the needs of the warfighter.
A FIELDED FORCE MULTIPLIER
When defense coverage leaves out the brand name, it can make an operational capability look like a prototype looking for a home. Hoverfly’s tethered UAS technology defined the category, and it’s been in the field for years.
The Only TeUAS on the Blue List: Hoverfly Spectre is officially the first and only Tethered UAS platform cleared on the DCMA Blue UAS List and verified secure via AUVSI Green UAS.Official U.S. Army VHA-Heavy: Spectre TeUAS was selected to be the designated VHA-Heavy for PDM Nett Warrior FY25.700+ TeUAS Systems Fielded: With over 700 systems delivered to the U.S. military and allied forces to date, Hoverfly platforms are already deployed worldwide for operating base security, battalion-level communications, and persistent ISR.
PROVEN AT FORT BENNING
During the two-week MBL evaluation at McKenna Field Landing Site, Soldiers, capability developers, the Air Robotics Dismounted Requirements Branch, and Product Lead Strategic Spectrum Warfare (PL SSW) put tethered UAS platforms, including Hoverfly Spectre, through rigorous tactical pacing.
Integrated directly onto the moving ISV-U, Hoverfly Spectre demonstrated dynamic “follow-mode,” tracking smoothly above vehicles traversing complex, off-road terrain. Operating at altitudes up to 200 feet, Spectre TeUAS functioned as an airborne mobile sensor and radio relay node, extending command-and-control (C2) reach and situational awareness well beyond physical terrain limits while keeping pace with the maneuver unit.
BUILT FOR THE WARFIGHTER
Modern battlefields have zero tolerance for short flight times or vulnerable wireless links. Traditional battery-powered drones require battery swaps after 30 minutes or get jammed the moment the electronic spectrum gets hot, jeopardizing critical mission intelligence. Hoverfly Spectre was built to dominate in those exact environments.
By delivering continuous power and high-speed data through a physical tether, Spectre TeUAS eliminates flight-time limits entirely while producing zero RF emissions for command and control. In contested conditions like those replicated at Fort Benning, this secure physical link lets operators bypass active RF signal jamming, bounce communications over terrain obstacles, and track targets at extended ranges, without exposing the squad’s position to electronic detection.
“In a matter of minutes, I was able to get [the drone] launched up in the air … and then it’s a quick, easy one-step button to bring it back down,” said Capt. Sarah Runion, MBL Live Experimentation Branch executive officer. “This has been a user-friendly experience.”
“It’s similar to a very high tower,” added Mark Pagliaro, contractor for Product Lead Strategic Spectrum Warfare. “Having a sensor up that high in their area of operations is going to influence the maneuver unit and allow them to extend ranges and see targets farther.”
THE LEADING TEUAS: SPECTRE
Hoverfly Spectre stands apart through several key operational capabilities required for modern multi-domain operations:
Unmatched Persistence: Tether power delivers 24/7 airborne operations for persistent surveillance, targeting, and mobile mesh network extension without battery recovery cycles.Contested Environment Operation: Hardwired control and data transmission mitigates jamming, reduces RF signature, and protects tactical units in contested electronic warfare environments.Dynamic On-The-Move Mobility: Automated launch, landing, and dynamic follow-mode allow light maneuver platforms like the ISV-U to maintain continuous aerial coverage at tactical speeds.
WE ARE THE CONVERSATION
Hoverfly has shaped tethered drone requirements for years, turning theoretical technologies and critical mission needs into real fielded capability. With a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) supporting up to 8 lbs of flexible payload capacity, including EO/IR optics, tactical radios (MANET/MIMO), and Counter-UAS sensors, Hoverfly Spectre is already delivering force-multiplying aerial dominance to warfighters every single day.
Fort Benning is one more chapter in that story. Every system fielded, Soldier touch point, and training rotation shapes how Spectre is built, and as the Army refines tethered operations for light tactical vehicles, Hoverfly Spectre is ready to fly with them today.
SUMMARY
Recent news reports highlighted the U.S. Army Maneuver Battle Lab (MBL) testing tethered drones on the Infantry Squad Vehicle-Utility (ISV-U) at Fort Benning—including the battle-proven Hoverfly Spectre, the platform pictured in coverage of the trials.
Key Highlights:
Setting the Record: Confirmed Hoverfly Spectre as the tethered drone pictured in coverage of recent Army ISV-U mobility and ISR trials at Fort Benning.Proven Track Record: Highlighted Hoverfly Spectre as the only tethered drone on the DCMA Blue UAS Cleared List and over 700 Hoverfly TeUAS systems fielded across the U.S. military.On-The-Move Coverage: Validated dynamic “follow-mode” capabilities up to 200 feet above moving tactical vehicles, extending vision and mesh communications over terrain obstacles.Elevated Security: Highlighted physical tether data links that bypass RF jamming and maintain zero RF control signatures in contested EW environments.
About Hoverfly Technologies
Hoverfly Technologies is a leading provider of tethered drone systems for defense and security. As a Blue UAS Cleared manufacturer, Hoverfly’s technology enables 24/7 situational awareness and secure communications in the most demanding combat environments.
