01 / The company

Useful starts
with listening.

The best place to start is with what people actually need.

Our work begins in healthcare with Small Mercy. Our ambition reaches further: useful software that earns its place in everyday life.

A reason to build.

02 / How we think

A few things
we come back to.

01 /

People before possibility.

Start with the person, the problem and the setting. The technology should follow.

02 /

Clarity over theatre.

Say what something does, where its limits are and what still needs a person’s judgement.

03 /

Care in the details.

Small decisions shape the whole experience. Make them deliberately, and keep asking how to make them better.

03 / Our first product

04 / The person behind it

Different worlds. The same curiosity.

A habit of listening.
A reason to build.

Dr Tyson K is a junior doctor at a major Melbourne hospital. Before medicine, he spent twelve years as an en-route air traffic controller at Melbourne Centre.

Small Mercy grew from a 3am shift, checking a machine-written note that read well and was wrong for that patient. Akoua carries that same care into what comes next.

In air traffic control, instructions are read back and confirmed. In medicine, the details matter just as much. That experience shapes the questions Tyson brings to software: what was actually said, what is uncertain and what needs a person’s attention?

“If it isn’t written down,
you won’t remember it right.”
