Pieces Joins Forces with Smarter Technologies
Following the recent acquisition of Pieces by Smarter Technologies, Founder and CEO Dr. Ruben Amarasingham returns to share what’s next. Since the deal announcement, the response from health system partners has been overwhelmingly positive. The newly combined capabilities—melding Pieces' clinical note generation with SmarterDX’s backend revenue processes—are already in high demand.
Introducing Smarter Notes
At the heart of this strategic union is Smarter Notes, a new product designed to bridge the gap between clinical note creation and accurate billing. By integrating the Pieces Working Progress Note and Discharge Summary into SmarterDX’s CDI engine, the combined team is delivering an intelligent documentation workflow. Dr. Ruben Amarasingham describes this collaboration as “magical,” especially for health systems that were already seeking such a solution.
Market Readiness and Real-World Testing
The Smarter Notes product will be piloted at client sites that already partner with both organizations. These early adopters will provide key insights to refine the product. The goal: full market readiness by January, supported by solid use-case data.
A Competitive Edge in a Crowded Field
This partnership doesn’t just deliver a new product—it raises the bar across the healthcare tech space. By offering an end-to-end platform from note-taking to revenue collection, Smarter Notes challenges existing solutions and stimulates meaningful competition. As Dr. Ruben Amarasingham puts it, “This is just American innovation at work.”
Eyes on the Future
As Pieces fully integrates into the Smarter ecosystem, excitement builds around the possibility of health systems deploying all four Smarter companies—Pieces Technologies, SmarterDX, Thoughtful AI, and Access Healthcare. For Dr. Ruben Amarasingham, the journey is personal: joining a team of founder-led, entrepreneur-driven companies is both inspiring and energizing.
The next few months are critical. As Smarter Notes rolls out, feedback from frontline clinicians and health systems will shape the product’s evolution—and potentially the future of healthcare documentation.
