Hi! I’m a family doctor that also happens to like computer programming. When I co-opened Britannia Medical Clinic I found that none of the EMRs would help us build the type of clinic we wanted to open.

While we were sorting through the red-tape of opening a family practice I worked on an EMR that would make our lives easier and (hopefully) empower our patients. Two years later I think we’ve got something worth writing home about.

Matt and I joined forces in 2016 when we found that current EMRs are clumsy and overpriced.  We wanted a system that streamlined our work  and empowered our patients.  To improve care we need to coordinate and communicate with our patients + colleagues efficiently.  This is AVA.

I want my work day to be more efficient so I can spend more mindful time with family and more time doing the things I love.  If you ever want to grab a coffee and discuss how we can help your clinic run more efficiently, just get in touch!

I am a software developer with over 25 years experience developing, maintaining and enhancing both large integrated enterprise solutions and smaller scale custom solutions. 

Prior to joining Ava, I worked for a short period on a health project that helped me develop some appreciation of the challenges facing the Alberta health care system with collecting, managing and using the data. The Ava design principles and architecture are fundamental to overcoming these challenges. I am excited to be part of a project that should improve physician work experience, provide patients with more information about their health, provide patients with more control over their own data, enable better data flow between different health service providers, and provide higher quality and more comprehensive data for research.

I am a serial entrepreneur driven by the mission of  “good health for everyone”. AVA is designed and developed to make everyone’s life a little better, from a patient centric design to simple and elegant health professional user experience. This is just the start of the AVA journey as we introduce integrated virtual care, 3rd party application integration including machine learning driven diagnostics and big data analytics.

I am a soon to be graduate from the University of Calgary with a major in Biology and a minor in Nanoscience. An interest in innovation and a passion for programming led me to find AVA. Since joining the team, I have mainly been working on our customer support and online knowledge base. I enjoy connecting with our customers and listening to their feedback, and I am very excited to be part of the AVA team.

I am an epidemiologist turned software developer. As an epidemiologist I analyzed data on provincial disease surveillance systems and cancer screening systems and discovered a passion for computer science. I have since nurtured a career in software building web apps in the education and finance sectors. 

I am thrilled to join the AVA team as a lead developer, drawing on my experience in both public health and software development.

Working with AVA’s onboarding process. I will ensure you will have a seamless and successful migration experience.  My background as a project management professional (PMP) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) provides unique insight to the complexity and intricacies of protecting patient data. 

As my picture would indicate, I’ve been around for a lot of years. And with it, a lot of experience in coordinating and supporting the efforts of over 70 medical clinics with their EMR and networks, including PCNs. My previous experiences at the University of Calgary as the Faculty of Medicine’s IT Security Officer and many years of business management both domestically and abroad provide seasoned professionalism to our valued clients.

I recently graduated from the Schulich School of Engineering where I studied Electrical and Computer Engineering. I was looking for a company that cares a lot about their clients and is constantly innovating. Ava is that company for me. I am the Customer Liaison at Ava Industries. The best part of my job is seeing how people light up when they see how Ava makes their job so easy. A staff in a clinic I was onboarding said to me “Ava has just satisfied the two wishes I always had in the previous EMR, this is so much faster and saves me a lot of time”. Feel free to contact me at jennifer@avaindustries.ca if you would like a demo of Ava.
