What We Do

We are a team of dedicated clinical terminologists, data scientists, industry subject matter experts, and informaticists who helped facilitate the evolution from analogue to digital capture of clinical events, the precise code-mapping that simplifies complex workflows, and the translation of unstructured into structured data. We “wrote the digital dictionary” used in every major EHR, and we are leveraging clinical AI to generate insights that expand and deepen our impact across the healthcare ecosystem.  

At the end of the day, we don’t make decisions for our clients. We provide them with the digital tools to enable sound decision-making.  

Why Work With Us

We are building a clinical intelligence stack—medical ontology, human expertise, and AI—that makes data more useful and more powerful. By enhancing data’s structure, richness, and precision, we reduce noise and error, streamline complexity, and create clarity across the clinical information chain.
