Ava Industries (Ava EMR) is a Canadian health technology company and a leading EMR built by practicing physicians who set out to make clinical work feel more connected and intuitive. As a people first organization, Ava set out to improve clinical workflows and strengthen the connection between providers and patients. The company created a Smart EMR and patient engagement suite that helps healthcare teams reduce administrative strain and focus on meaningful patient interaction. Ava’s approach to innovation is grounded in collaboration with real clinicians and the people who build the platform. New features and advancements are shaped through direct partnerships with providers, ensuring the technology reflects the realities of everyday practice. This work has led to a unified system that supports secure messaging, billing, online booking, real time charting support, and AI enabled tools such as AutoChart and Ava Scribe. This commitment to co-design is one of the reasons Ava has become an award winning EMR. Today Ava supports thousands of users and millions of patient records across Canada. The company’s purpose is to empower providers, strengthen patient connection, and help shape a healthcare experience that feels more human.
