Our Mission

Making it easier for Ontario patients to find family doctors while reducing the burden on clinic staff. Technology that supports human connection, not replaces it.

Last updated: December 2025

Why We Exist

Canada's primary care crisis demands new approaches to connecting patients with doctors.

Canada continues to experience significant access gaps in primary care. According to CIHI data, millions of Canadians lack regular access to a family doctor, leading to worse health outcomes and increased pressure on hospital emergency departments.

In Ontario alone, more than 2.5 million people are without a family doctor. When clinics pause intake, they face a constant stream of calls asking the same question: "Are you accepting new patients?" This creates administrative strain for reception staff and frustration for patients who don't know where to turn next.

ClinicHub exists to address this coordination gap. We believe that improving access to primary care contributes to better preventive care, health equity, and a more sustainable healthcare system. Our approach focuses on making clinic intake status transparent and giving patients clear next steps when care isn't immediately available.

For more context on the primary care access challenge, see our resources on finding a family doctor in Ontario and managing waitlists.

Our Core Values

The principles that guide every decision we make at ClinicHub.

Human-First Design

Technology should support human connection, not replace it. Our micro-AI handles routine screening so clinic staff can focus on meaningful patient interactions.

Privacy as a Foundation

We collect only what's necessary for matching patients with clinics. No protected health information is stored. Transparency guides every design decision. Learn more about our ethical AI approach.

Protecting Reception Staff

Front desk staff are essential to healthcare delivery. By reducing repetitive new-patient inquiries, we help them do their best work without burnout from constant intake calls.

Micro-AI, Not Replacement

ClinicHub is a triage layer, not a replacement for human staff. Existing patients and complex calls always reach your team directly. See how it works.

Guiding Principles

How we approach building healthcare technology that truly serves its users.

Accessibility Over Complexity

Healthcare access shouldn't require navigating complex systems. We keep patient matching simple and direct — search by postal code, see which clinics may be accepting, get notified when availability changes.

Transparency in Operations

Patients and clinics understand exactly how the system works. No hidden processes or unclear data handling. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what we collect and why.

Ontario-First Approach

We're building for Ontario's healthcare landscape first, understanding local needs and regulatory requirements before considering expansion to other provinces.

Continuous Improvement

We listen to feedback from clinics and patients to refine our approach and better serve the community. Visit our Future Features page to see what's coming.

Our Journey

From understanding the problem to building thoughtful solutions.

Foundation

Understanding the Problem

More than 2.5 million Ontarians don't have a family doctor, leading to nonstop calls to clinics asking the same question: "Are you accepting new patients?" This creates strain for staff and frustration for patients who have no clear next step.

Solution

Human-First Triage

Rather than complex AI systems, we developed a simple triage layer that handles one specific question while preserving human connection for everything else. When intake is closed, callers receive clear guidance and optional SMS links to continue their search.

Expansion to other provinces will be guided by demonstrated value in Ontario and readiness to serve new healthcare communities. We believe in growing responsibly rather than rapidly.
