Clinical Documentation Without the Burden
Physicians should spend time caring for patients, not wrestling with notes.
The Problem
Documentation burden drives physician burnout. Hospitalists spend 2+ hours per day on notes after shifts end. That time belongs to family, rest, or learning.
Traditional clinical documentation creates friction at every step: searching for labs, synthesizing patient histories, and meeting billing requirements while keeping notes clinically useful.
This burden extends beyond physicians. Tired clinicians make more errors. Burnout increases turnover. Patients get less face time with their doctors.
Our Solution
Aclera AI's CasePanel is a clinical documentation platform built for hospitalists. It understands clinical context, synthesizes relevant data, and generates thorough, efficient documentation.
What sets CasePanel apart:
- Evidence-based citations - Every recommendation links to peer-reviewed literature and clinical guidelines for verification and learning.
- Built for hospitalists - Designed from the ground up for inpatient workflows, not a general-purpose tool adapted for medicine.
- Physician-reviewed output - AI assists; you remain in control. Every note requires physician review and approval before signing.
- HIPAA-compliant by design - Enterprise-grade security with encryption at rest and in transit, SOC 2 Type II compliance, and no training on your data.
Our Story
Nahom Nigussie, a software engineer, founded Aclera AI after watching his brother struggle with documentation burden. His brother, Dr. Ephrem Nigussie, works as a nocturnist hospitalist and spent hours finishing notes after overnight shifts.
"I saw my brother missing family time, exhausted from documentation piling up," Nahom explains. "As an engineer, I knew a better solution existed. Ephrem showed me what hospitalists need. Together, we built CasePanel."
Dr. Ephrem Nigussie advised on clinical aspects throughout development, ensuring features reflect real hospital workflows. His night shift experience and work with complex patient panels shaped CasePanel into a tool that matches inpatient medicine demands.
Aclera AI has one mission: help hospitalists finish notes before leaving the hospital. We measure success in hours saved and burnout prevented.
Our Values
- Physician-first - Every decision starts with "how does this help the hospitalist?" We build tools, not extra work.
- Evidence-based - We apply the same rigor to our AI that you apply to patient care. Transparency and citations are required.
- Privacy by design - Patient data is sacred. We build security into every layer from the start.
- Sustainable practice - Medicine should be a career you sustain for decades. We aim to make that achievable.
