Our mission
Returning physicians’ time to patient care
Elle is a team with a mission: to reduce the strain on the health care system by giving physicians back the time they spend on work that is not medicine. Administrative work competes with patient care for a physician’s time. In a community with few physicians, that pressure is shared.
Our goal is simple: more of a doctor’s day spent with patients, and less of it on everything else. We started with billing. Elle provides AI-assisted billing-code and ICD-9 classification from clinical notes, with physicians reviewing the suggestions. We build in Alberta, for the physicians who practise here.
