Embodia - a play on the word ‘embody’‍

Embodia is for the innovative, forward-thinking clinician, owner, and organization - for those ready to embrace and embody innovation, for the change makers.
We envision a not-too-distant day in which all rehab pros embody and deliver a hybrid model of care, putting patients in the driver’s seat of their recovery.

How we started...

Hi There - I’m Maggie, a physiotherapist who has come to understand how powerful technology can be in healthcare.

And this is Elie, a chemical engineer who taught himself how to code on the train to and from his engineering job.

We met by happy accident while dragon boating in Toronto in 2014. I reported (ahem, complained) about how much time I spent on administrative work, designing patient education and exercises, and traveling to continuing education courses. With Elie’s newfound coding skills, he proposed that we build an app to solve these problems.

So in October of 2014, we embarked on this journey together which has evolved from a side hustle to a full-time job.

As a physiotherapist, I have come to recognize the incredible impact that technology can have on our patients' lives and the efficiency of our practices.

At Embodia, we believe we can build technology together, as a community, that best serves us, our practices, and our patients.
