Echoclin Healthcare · Seoul — the company behind CLINOVA

Voice in the exam room.
We're solving all of it.

The clinical conversation is medicine's richest data — and most of it is gone the moment it's spoken. We build CLINOVA: physician-built AI that listens to the visit and writes the medical record, while the doctor looks at the patient.

CLINOVA Engine — writing the record
Every line checked against the conversation
The problem

Medicine's most valuable data evaporates the moment it's spoken.

Everything that matters in a visit is said out loud. Almost none of it survives the visit.

Spoken, then lost

The exam is a conversation — symptoms, context, nuance, decisions. The chart keeps a compressed shadow of it, typed from memory, often hours later.

Screens over patients

Physicians split every visit between the patient and the keyboard — then spend evenings finishing the notes the day didn't leave time for.

Generic AI doesn't stick

Off-the-shelf dictation ignores how a specific physician actually speaks, charts, and works. So it impresses in the demo — and gets abandoned in the clinic.

Voice in the exam room isn't a feature gap.
It's an entire problem space — and it's ours.

What we believe

The medical record should write itself — while the physician looks at the patient, not a screen. So we build for one room: the exam room. Everything we make begins with what is actually said inside it.

The CLINOVA family

One conversation.
Six products.

Every CLINOVA product draws from the same source — the clinical conversation. The brackets in every mark carry our promise: what happens in the clinic stays in the clinic.

clinova Chart

Ambient AI charting. The conversation becomes a structured, physician-styled note by the time the patient stands up.

How it works

Built like infrastructure.
Fitted like a bespoke suit.

Generic tools fail in clinics because no two physicians work alike. So we don't ship generic — we fit the engine to the physician.

Speech that lives on-site

A proprietary speech engine runs on the clinic's own machines. Each physician gets a personal lexicon — the exact terms they use, weighted into recognition itself, so the right word wins before it's ever written.

An engine per physician

Section order, phrasing, abbreviations, what belongs in the note and what never should — modeled per physician, per clinic. Adjustments ship in hours, not quarters.

Records that are checked

Every generated line passes consistency guards that compare it against what was actually said — before it ever reaches the chart. Unsupported content doesn't survive.

Where the data lives

Voice audio is processed locally and stays on the clinic's machines. For record generation, only encrypted text is transmitted — under the clinic's own account — and it is not stored after processing. A fully on-premise pipeline is in active development.

Adoption

Growing clinic by clinic,
entirely by word of mouth.

CLINOVA is live in Korean clinics today — and every deployment so far reached us the same way: one physician telling another.

Entirely inbound

No outbound sales. No paid advertising. Physicians see it working in a colleague's exam room — and ask for it.

They come back for more

Clinics that start with one product tend to add another, once the first one proves itself in real visits.

Nobody has left

Every clinic that has deployed CLINOVA still charts with it today.

Across specialties

Orthopedics, internal medicine, health screening, plastic surgery, emergency medicine — and counting.

Every engine is fitted from real operating experience — encounters the product has processed in live clinics. Not synthetic data. Not crawled text.

Founder & CEO

Kyosun Hwang, M.D.

Board-certified orthopedic surgeon. Still in clinic. Writes the code.

"I chart with CLINOVA in my own exam room, every day. When something is off, I feel it before any customer does — and I can fix it that same night."

Kyosun Hwang — Founder & CEO, Echoclin Healthcare

The idea began at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, watching voice-driven charting work in American exam rooms — and realizing it would never simply translate. A tool for Korean clinics would have to be built by someone who practices in one. So he built it: designing, coding, and deploying every CLINOVA product himself, between patients.
