Why Enkidu

Named after a friend from the oldest story

Enkidu comes from Mesopotamia, the land that is now Iraq. So do my roots.

The story

Who was Enkidu?

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest surviving story we have, Enkidu is the wild man who becomes the king's steadfast companion. He is the one who steadies, who shares the load, who makes the hard road bearable.

That is exactly what good clinical software should be. Not another system demanding your attention, but a quiet companion at your side, carrying the parts of the day that were never why you went into medicine.

“

Not the hero. The friend at the hero's side.

That is the job we want our tools to do.

How we work

Three rules for every tool

01

Privacy first, no black boxes

We say plainly which AI models a tool uses and where your data goes. Where we can, we run models locally, so patient data stays in Australia.

02

Time back is money back

Minutes saved in a clinic are dollars saved. If a tool does not hand back more time than it costs, it does not ship.

03

Checked by clinicians, down to the details

Real clinicians test every tool, and we sweat the small things: how a button looks, where a form sits, the order you fill it in. Small things decide whether a tool helps a consult flow or breaks it.

Learn about Mesopotamia

The story of Enkidu is one small part of a much bigger one. So we made a free site about it.

Our free educational resource about Mesopotamia for students. Sumer, Akkad, Babylon and Assyria: the first cities, cuneiform writing, the gods and myths (Gilgamesh and Enkidu included), and a page where you can write your own name in cuneiform. No ads, no sign-up, and a page for teachers.
