Founder
Bio (~80 words)
Sudipta Sarkar built SignalEHR after watching therapists in his network spend more time documenting sessions than running them. SignalEHR is an AI-first EHR that consolidates clinical notes, an AI receptionist, multi-speaker session diarization, and cross-border (US + Canadian) insurance billing into one platform at $199 / practitioner / month. He's based in Edmonton, Alberta.
Long bio (~180 words)
Sudipta Sarkar is the founder of SignalEHR, a clinical-intelligence EHR for licensed therapists in the United States and Canada. Built in Edmonton, Alberta on Google Cloud Run, SignalEHR combines an ambient AI clinical scribe (with real multi-speaker diarization for group and couples sessions), an AI receptionist that answers chat, SMS, and phone with the clinic's actual operational knowledge, and unified cross-border insurance billing through Stedi (US) and TELUS eClaims (Canada). The platform sells at $199 per practitioner per month, all-inclusive, with admin and receptionist seats free.
Sarkar is available for commentary on AI in mental health, multi-speaker speech recognition in clinical settings, the cross-border economics of healthcare SaaS, and the documentation burden as a structural cause of therapist burnout. He prefers being challenged on the specifics of what AI does and does not do well in clinical work.
