Because health AI needs the best foundation
We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and builders who have always believed health tech only works if it’s built right, on the right principles, and by the right people.
Why we exist.
One of our founders lives with rare a blood disorder. For him, that has meant over 30 years of specialists, referrals, and systems that didn’t talk to each other, just to get the care he needed. That experience became Clinia’s starting point: healthcare shouldn’t be this hard to navigate, and it shouldn’t feel this impersonal.
In 2016, that belief became Clinia, built in a Montreal living room. Dialogue trusted us as our first client in 2019. TELUS Health signed on as a multi-year partner in 2023. Along the way, we built partnerships with Google and Waze during COVID-19, and became a Certified B Corporation in 2024. The mission never changed. Only the tools we built to serve it, and the people who believed in it alongside us.
Today, that means Clinia Context Engine: the patient context layer that gives health AI what it needs to actually help people. Different product. Same mission: make care easier to navigate, and more human.
We’ve lived what happens when healthcare doesn’t connect the dots. That’s why we built Clinia to do it for everyone else.
What we value
We build with conviction.
We believe progress is a choice. Being progress driven means building toward something: a health ecosystem that’s more intelligent, more human, more accessible. Everything at Clinia reflects that.
-
Progress driven
Our north star. Every decision, every product, every hire is oriented toward meaningful progress in health.
-
Liberated by design
Trust and autonomy are how progress actually happens. We build systems, and a culture, where people are free to act with purpose.
-
Accountable by design
Progress means nothing if it’s not responsible. People, community, and planet are part of how we measure success, which is why we’re a Certified B Corp.
The team
We’re a team of engineers, product builders, operational leaders, and clinical experts, with experience spanning health systems, software, and operations, all working toward a more accessible and intelligent health ecosystem.
We bring clinical rigor to every line of code and operational workflow.
-
Clinical
Health infrastructure is only as good as its clinical grounding. Led by our Medical Director, our clinical team ensures that every product decision reflects how care actually works. Keeping us honest at every step.
-
Product
We design and build the infrastructure that makes health data usable. From data ingestion to clinical reasoning, our product team ships the tools that turn fragmented records into something AI and humans can actually work with.
-
Operations
People, Finance, Legal, and Security: the teams that keep Clinia running, compliant, and human. We build the foundation that lets everyone else focus on what matters.
AI at Clinia
Healthcare doesn’t get a second chance to get AI wrong. That’s why we build with clinicians in the loop, standards we don’t relax, and accountability that goes beyond compliance.
-
We never train models on patient data. The models we use learn from ethically sourced web data and synthetic data built to reflect the real complexity of healthcare, never real patient records.
-
Every model is tested twice: automated benchmarks, then manual review with our clinical team. Physicians are in the loop from day one, not brought in to sign off at the end. They decide which criteria our context engine is measured against.
-
We hold ourselves to the same standards that govern the rest of our platform: HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA, and SOC 2 Type II, independently audited.

We’re a member of CHAI, the Coalition for Health AI, helping shape best practices and testing frameworks for AI in healthcare.
