Ambient clinical AI built for multilingual South Asian healthcare
Doctors in Sri Lanka consult in Sinhala, Tamil and English — often in the same sentence. Global medical scribes are built for English-only clinics. Aurora Labs builds the clinical AI layer for the way care is actually delivered here, starting with Nestor.AI: an ambient scribe that cuts documentation time by 65%.

Clinicians spend their day writing, not treating
In busy outpatient clinics, every minute spent on notes is a minute away from patients. The tools that exist were not designed for the languages, workflows or budgets of South Asian healthcare.
Documentation burden
A typical outpatient note takes around 8 minutes to write. Across a full clinic list, that's hours of physician time lost every day — and a leading driver of burnout.
The language gap
Consultations switch fluidly between Sinhala, Tamil and English. English-first AI scribes break on code-switched speech, leaving these markets underserved.
Fragmented, paper-heavy records
Many practices still run on paper, handwritten lab reports and disconnected tools — so patient history, safety checks and follow-up are hard to get right.
- Speech & language models can now handle low-resource and code-switched languages at clinical quality.
- WhatsApp is the default channel for patients — a zero-install front door for intake and follow-up.
- Cloud costs have collapsed, making AI affordable at emerging-market price points.
One clinical AI platform across the patient journey
We land with Nestor.AI, a high-value wedge product that saves doctors time from day one, then expand within each clinic through connected products that share the same trilingual AI core.
-
Before the visit
CareGo
WhatsApp patient intake & triage with red-flag screening.
-
During the consult · Flagship
Nestor.AI
Ambient scribe that turns conversation into SOAP notes, prescriptions & referrals.
-
Across the clinic
Nestor EMR
Records, scheduling, lab & pharmacy workflows for the whole care team.
-
Training the next generation
EduBot
Diagnostic-reasoning trainer for medical students.
Trilingual clinical language core
Speech and NLP pipelines tuned for code-switched Sinhala, Tamil and English clinical dialogue — hard to replicate, and it compounds with every consultation.
Physician-designed safety
Clinical protocols, drug-allergy and contraindication checks, and red-flag screening are designed by a practicing doctor and validated with working physicians.
Capital-efficient engineering
Five products built by a founding team on lean, serverless cloud infrastructure — proof we can build fast and keep unit costs low.
Products built by Aurora Labs
Our clinical AI suite, plus a market-intelligence data platform that proves our large-scale data engineering in production.
Nestor.AI
Listens ambiently to doctor-patient consultations in Sinhala, Tamil, or English (including natural code-switching) and converts dialogue into structured, standardized clinical SOAP notes, prescriptions, and referral letters. Saves 65% of clinical writing time.
Nestor EMR
A comprehensive electronic medical records and clinic operating system designed for outpatient practices. Integrates Doctors, Receptionists, Nurses, and Admins with 7-day schedule booking, investigations timelines, and direct lab/pharmacy workflows.
CareGo
An intelligent patient bot allowing Sri Lankan patients to message symptoms via WhatsApp text or voice note in Sinhala, Tamil, or English. The bot conducts one-at-a-time clinical triage, screens for red flags, and feeds structured summaries directly into a physician review dashboard.
EduBot
An algorithmic training companion for medical students that trains diagnostic reasoning step-by-step. Features an 11-step gatekeeper: history gathering, differential diagnosis, and etiology refinement, with a strict safety gate prohibiting premature investigations.
Market Intelligence Engine
A high-throughput market tracking engine monitoring real estate and vehicle transactions across Sri Lanka. Automatically cleans portal data, calculates algorithmic unit rates (Price per Perch for land/houses & Price per Sq.Ft for apartments), and tracks vehicle market valuations with automated cloud schema-first database replication.
Built, validated, and in clinic pilots
The hard engineering is done. Nestor.AI is now in clinic pilots, and our focus is converting them into paying clinics and repeatable growth.

Clinician + engineer, building for their own healthcare system
Healthcare AI fails when it's built without clinicians or without serious engineering. Our founding team has both — one co-founder sees patients, the other ships production systems.
Dr. Helika Illangakoon
A medical doctor with extensive frontline expertise in Sri Lankan outpatient and hospital clinical workflows. Drives clinical protocol design, medical safety requirements, trilingual diagnostic taxonomy, and real-world clinical validation across practicing physicians.
Tharinda Embuldeniya
Software engineer and Technical Director leading Aurora Labs' engineering stack — from high-throughput web automation and cloud infrastructure to trilingual speech processing pipelines, MCP servers, and responsive web applications.

Investment highlights
- Clear wedge. Nestor.AI delivers measurable ROI (65% less charting time) from the first clinic day.
- Defensible niche. Code-switched trilingual clinical AI that English-first competitors don't serve.
- Platform upside. Four connected products expand revenue per clinic across the patient journey.
- Founder-market fit. A practicing physician and a systems engineer, building for their own healthcare system.
- Capital efficient. Five products already built on a lean cost base, with the flagship in clinic pilots.
