Pippen AI

Pippen AI builds AI tools that take administrative paperwork off Canadian family doctors — an AI scribe and assistant designed to sit inside clinical workflow rather than beside it. Founded by clinic owners Mary Aglipay and Amjed Kadhim-Saleh, it reached 1,200 family-doctor offices across Canada within 18 months of launch.

About

Pippen's founders built a family medicine clinic before they built software. In 2018 they bought a space in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood, fitted it out with limited funds, and set out to make somewhere doctors actually wanted to work — Kadhim-Saleh being a family physician who had seen the alternative. It worked, and then it didn't: Aglipay describes losing her co-founder, whom she later married, to what she calls paperwork, a nebulous word for the millions of steps a single clinical task takes. On a road trip after an academic conference they concluded that family medicine needed something structural, and large language models were becoming capable enough to build it. Aglipay is an epidemiologist by training, and the company's pitch leans on that: an evidence-based approach to AI in family medicine, with privacy treated as a competitive moat and experiments rather than guesses about what actually fits a clinic's workflow.

Backers

Funding not disclosed. The founders self-funded the family medicine clinic that preceded the software.

To 1,200 family doctors' offices across Canada in the 18 months after launch, per Aglipay's February 2026 talk at Health Toronto.

Mary Aglipay, an epidemiologist and clinic owner who is COO, and Amjed Kadhim-Saleh, a Toronto family physician. They opened a family medicine clinic together in 2018 before starting the software company.
