What Cavell does
Cavell (legally Polaris Health BV), a Ghent-based Belgian healthtech founded in 2024, builds an AI engine that listens to patient consultations and converts speech into structured, coded medical reports directly inside electronic health record (EHR) systems. Its core technology is a cloud-based speech-to-text-to-code pipeline that performs speaker diarization, transcribes multilingual clinical speech (Dutch, French, German, English with regional accents), and outputs structured SOEP/SOAP reports with automatic SNOMED CT, ICD10, and LOINC coding in FHIR format via specialty-specific templates (25+ medical specialties). The product suite comprises four modules — Scribe (speech-to-report), Prism (document structuring), Atlas (natural-language patient-record search), and Ask Cavell (guideline-grounded Q&A) — delivered either standalone or as embedded APIs/SDKs.
Cavell operates a B2B2B model: its AI engine is white-labelled inside EHR platforms owned by Corilus (CareConnect GP, the leading GP practice software in Belgium, and CareConnect Nurse for home-care nurses) and Nexuzhealth (Hospital: KWS, used in over 60% of Flemish hospitals), with pilots conducted at UZ Leuven and AZ Oostende. Corilus and Nexuzhealth own customer relationships, onboarding and first-line support, while Cavell provides the AI engine, API/SDK, and continuous model improvement; for the Nexuzhealth KWS integration hospitals can also obtain direct enterprise licences managed through Cavell's own dashboard with per-user licence allocation and adoption analytics. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
The company has three live EHR integrations, reports 4,500+ healthcare providers on the platform, over 1.3M medical reports generated, and approximately 8-9 staff including co-founders Anthony Rathé (Product Lead), Louis Verdonckt (GTM Lead) and Dr. Pieter Olivier (Medical Lead, a practising neurologist at AZ Sint-Lucas). It raised €1.5M in pre-seed funding in April 2025 from undisclosed strategic investors and is ISO 27001 certified, GDPR and EU AI Act compliant, with a zero-data-retention architecture and EU-resident processing.

Revenue model
- White-label AI Engine Licensing to EHR Vendors: Cavell provides its AI engine via API/SDK to EHR vendors (Corilus for CareConnect, Nexuzhealth for Hospital: KWS) under white-label partnerships. Corilus handles commercialisation, onboarding, first-line support, and the customer relationship. Cavell provides the AI engine, transcription, SOAP/SOEP structuring, and continuous model improvement. The EHR vendor pays Cavell, and the end-user (healthcare provider) pays the EHR vendor. This is a B2B2B model.
- Direct EHR-Integrated Licenses to Healthcare Providers: For the Nexuzhealth Hospital: KWS integration, Cavell is available directly within the EHR. Hospitals and healthcare institutions can subscribe to Cavell licenses and deploy to their staff. The company manages licenses through its own dashboard (user dashboard, licence allocation, adoption insights). This is a direct B2B SaaS subscription model targeting healthcare institutions.
- API/SDK Licensing for EHR Platform Enrichment: Cavell offers its full suite (Scribe, Prism, Atlas, Ask Cavell) as enrichable AI functionalities for EHR providers to differentiate their platforms. EHR vendors integrate via FHIR-based APIs without building their own AI stack. Cavell monetises through API/SDK usage fees and licensing agreements.

Cavell partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Three partnerships are on record, tiered flagship.
- NexuzhealthflagshipNexuzhealth (supporting over 60% of Flemish hospitals with its integrated care platform) partnered with Cavell to integrate the Cavell AI assistant directly into Nexuzhealth Hospital: KWS, the clinical workstation. The integration allows specialists to start Cavell within the patient record module, conduct consultations with full attention on the patient, and have a fully structured report ready for validation after the consultation — without typing a single letter. After piloting at UZ Leuven and AZ Oostende, the integration was officially launched in May 2026 and became available for all Nexuzhealth network hospitals from June 2026.
- Corilus (CareConnect Nurse)flagshipCorilus partnered with Cavell to embed the Cavell AI engine as the power behind CareConnect AI Assistant in CareConnect Nurse, enabling home-care nurses across Belgium to register data flexibly in their electronic nursing records via voice. The white-label partnership means Cavell provides the software engine and model improvement; Corilus handles commercial relationship, support, and customer interface. From launch in January 2026, over 1,000 home-care nurses used the solution daily for more than 25,000 registrations per week.
- Corilus (CareConnect GP)flagshipCorilus, the Belgian market leader in healthcare software solutions (with over 20 years of experience serving GPs, pharmacists, dentists, nurses, and care institutions), partnered with Cavell to embed the Cavell AI engine as the power behind CareConnect AI Assistant in CareConnect GP — the most widely used GP practice software in Belgium. Corilus handles commercialisation, onboarding, first-line support, and the customer relationship. Cavell provides the AI engine, transcription, SOEP structuring, and continuous model improvement. The partnership launched in December 2025 with over 70,000 reports already generated.

Cavell competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Microsoft Nuance DAX Copilot: Microsoft's ambient medical scribe (formerly Nuance DAX) is the global incumbent in AI-generated clinical notes integrated directly into EHRs. Directly comparable to Cavell's Scribe product in function (ambient consultation-to-structured-note), with broader geographic and EHR coverage but less specialty/localisation depth.
Direct peers
- Abridge: Abridge is an AI medical scribe that converts patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes and integrates with major US EHRs. Same core value proposition as Cavell (ambient documentation reducing administrative burden), with a much larger funding base and US-focused traction; both target the same workflow integration play.
- Nabla: Nabla is an AI ambient scribe producing structured clinical notes for physicians, with EHR integration and multilingual capabilities. Closely comparable to Cavell in product scope and European focus, and a likely direct competitor as both expand across European EHR vendors.
- Suki AI: Suki provides an AI voice assistant for clinicians that generates clinical notes and integrates with EHRs. Overlaps directly with Cavell's Scribe/Prism capabilities, targeting the same ambient documentation use case for clinicians, with similar ambition to be embedded into major EHR systems.
- DeepScribe: DeepScribe offers AI-powered medical documentation and ambient scribing tailored to specialty practices, integrated into EHRs. Comparable to Cavell in targeting specialty-specific templates and structured documentation, with similar specialty-by-specialty go-to-market motion.
- Augmedix: Augmedix provides ambient AI medical documentation for hospitals and health systems, converting patient-clinician conversations into structured notes. Direct competitor to Cavell in the hospital ambient documentation category, with more mature US hospital deployments.
Emerging players
- Tali AI: Tali AI is an AI medical scribe and voice assistant for clinicians, with EHR integration. Comparable to Cavell's Scribe product for individual clinicians and small practices, with overlap in EHR-embedded documentation workflows.
- Sunoh.ai: Sunoh.ai is an ambient AI scribe integrated with eClinicalWorks EHR that generates SOAP-note-style structured documentation. Comparable to Cavell in the EHR-embedded scribe model and structured SOAP output, though tied to a single EHR ecosystem.
Others
- Corilus: Corilus is a Belgian healthcare software vendor whose CareConnect GP and CareConnect Nurse products white-label Cavell as their AI engine. Both a flagship distribution partner and a thematically adjacent player in Belgian healthcare IT, relevant as both customer and potential future competitor if they internalise AI.
- Nexuzhealth: Nexuzhealth provides the KWS clinical workstation used in 60%+ of Flemish hospitals and is Cavell's flagship hospital integration partner. Comparable as a Belgian healthcare IT platform, and the principal distribution channel for Cavell in secondary care — strategically coupled to Cavell's hospital traction.
