About Us - emtelligent

Founded on the best of clinical and data science

Born out of necessity, emtelligent was first ideated by Dr. Tim O'Connell, a practicing radiologist in British Columbia, Canada. Early in his career, Tim recognized that his volume of work and need for deep clinical records review in each case weren't compatible. He needed a way to quickly access the full clinical record at scale.

Clinical Expertise

Tim has led the development of the deep clinical understanding of the emtelliPro^® platform, ensuring it can speak the language of healthcare.

Meets Data Science Excellence

Drawing from his pioneering work in AI and NLP, Anoop leads the deep technical development work that has positioned emtelliPro as the unquestioned leader in performance and accuracy.
