Ella
before every consultationappointment
Pre-appointment history capture that saves clinician time at the start of the visit.
Patients speak before the appointment. Clinicians start with a prepared note instead of rebuilding the opening history in the room.
For patients
A calmer way to tell the story before the appointment starts.
Patients explain what is happening in ordinary language before the visit starts.
For clinicians
A prepared note and transcript before the visit begins.
Clinicians open a prepared note and transcript, so less of the appointment is spent rebuilding the first history.
For clinic teams
The consultation stays tied to the correct clinic and review team.
Admins control which clinic teams can access Ella and where consultations are reviewed.
AI for human-led clinical care
The future of clinical care is not AI replacing human judgement. It is AI extending it, returning time and clarity to the people who care.
The patient explains it in ordinary language
Ella opens with a guided consultation instead of a rigid intake form, so the history starts with the patient's own words rather than a compressed checklist.
