Athel AI

What do the three modules do?

Athel AI calls its product "The AI Co-Clinician" and says it works "under the clinical authority of the physician, every time."

Intake runs an adaptive pre-visit interview by voice, chat or video, in "any language" (none are named), and sends a structured history to the EMR. The vendor says the interviews were built with specialists in cardiology, GI and general internal medicine, and that a specialist clinic captured "3.6x more clinical data, captured in half the time" and that question completeness rose from 27% to 96%, and it gives no method for either figure.

Reception answers calls, books appointments and sorts them by priority at any hour. The demo categories are Urgent, Medical, Clinical question, Scheduling and Admin, and the demo uses simulated callers and data. The page gives no 911 instruction and does not say what happens to an after-hours urgent call.

Dictation turns speech into a note.

Which EMRs and privacy terms does it list?

The integrations page names Accuro, OSCAR, TELUS, EMR Advantage, Epic, Cerner and Meditech. A Chrome extension covers any browser-based EMR, and the product also lists fax-to-chart, SMS and calendar sync.

Athel AI calls itself HIPAA and PIPEDA compliant, with Canadian and US data residency and PHI kept in-country. Its privacy policy says controls are "to be reviewed under SOC 2 Type II," and Trust Center attestations sit behind an NDA.

What do the tiers cost?

As of November 2026 the pricing page lists three tiers per physician per month, with a 10% saving on annual billing and 30 days free for verified physicians.

• Basic is $149, with up to 350 calls and up to 500 intakes.
• Pro is $399, with up to 600 calls and bookings and up to 1,000 intakes.
• Premium is $699, with unlimited calls and bookings and up to 2,500 intakes.

Overage is "scaled, never cut off." Enterprise is "Custom," with a 30-day pilot on approval.

Who is behind it?

Athel AI lists a Toronto office and also names San Francisco. Alex Arrazaghi is co-founder and CEO, and his bio says he also works on model evaluation at OpenAI. Diba Shojaei is co-founder and CTO.

A PitchBook profile gives 2025 as the founding year and about three employees, and a Jumpstart Foundry portfolio lists the entity as Ertyoc Inc. PitchBook and Crunchbase put funding near $300K, which PitchBook labels seed and Crunchbase pre-seed, with Medical Innovation Xchange, Right Side Capital Management, Health Innovation Hub and The Accelerator Centre among the investors. The home page promises "Trusted by Leaders in Clinical Innovation," names nobody and shows customer counters with no values.

The verdict

Verified physicians get 30 days free, for the Basic, Pro and Premium tiers. Reception is shown through a demo with priority labels and no emergency script.
