About Cortico

Cortico envisions a world where healthcare providers spend nearly all their time caring for patients, and aren't burnt out from excessive paperwork and administrative tasks.

Our Digital Assistant for Healthcare automates the most repetitive administrative work inside Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and patient communications, so thousands of providers and their staff can facilitate attachment, reduce no-shows, and deliver a modern, connected healthcare experience every day.

Our mission

To create better digital healthcare experiences for everyone

  • Patients get easy online access to care and records, so they can stay informed and manage healthcare for themselves and loved ones.

    For patients
  • Medical practices eliminate most of the admin work around a visit, freeing providers to focus on care, reducing burnout, and improving profitability and patient satisfaction.

    For providers
  • Health systems gain efficiency and capacity across sites, with systems that providers and patients love to use.

    For health systems

Our story

How Cortico started

A direct collaboration between physicians and software engineers.

2019

A massive clinic problem solved from the inside

Dr. Greg Baldwin was running a high-volume mixed practice (walk-in, family practice and specialist) in British Columbia, where staff were taking more than 800 calls a day. Access to care was limited by how fast a phone could be answered, and front-desk staff were overwhelmed.

He teamed up with Clark Van Oyen, an engineer and technical founder, to build the first version of Cortico at the clinic. Calls dropped to near zero.

2020-present

From online booking to a digital front desk

Medical practices across North America were drowning in admin, so Cortico expanded beyond scheduling appointments into a complete EMR-integrated digital assistant.

We took the rest of what a clinic front desk does - reminders, intake, check-in, payments, document triage, and patient communication - and automated it within the EMRs clinics already use. Today, Cortico runs across more than 10 EMRs and is used across North America.

Next

A universal patient record

After working with hundreds of clinics, we realized that a harder problem than administrative overload existed beneath the surface: medical records that fragment as soon as a patient sees a second provider or moves clinics.

We are now tackling community interoperability at a provincial and national scale, across primary and secondary care. Cortico is developing a universal patient home: a personal health record that moves with the patient, and is interoperable across sites and EMRs.
