Cilia: Field Intelligence for Healthcare · Mitochondria
Cilia · Field intelligence for healthcare

The work around care, lifted off your people and turned into intelligence.

Cilia is the field-intelligence layer in Mitochondria's agentic framework for healthcare. It carries the operational work around care, gets it done far faster, and hands back intelligence you can act on, in the systems you already use.

Four things change when Cilia runs.

Cilia is the operational layer around care.

Lighter load
Information capture, follow-ups, and reports are taken up by Cilia, so their hours go back to care.
Less dependency
Work that needed a person to sit on it runs as a system instead, at any scale and with no new headcount.
Faster
What took weeks of scheduling and write-up arrives structured and ready in a fraction of the time.
Usable intelligence
Every exchange becomes structured, auditable intelligence the organisation can act on.

Picture the same work, once Cilia carries it.

Nothing about the work changes except who carries it, and how much of it survives.

Today
A caregiver loses hours each week to forms and reporting.
With Cilia
Those hours go back to care, a shift summed up in a single voice note.
Today
A survey reaches only the few with a minute to spare.
With Cilia
You hear from almost everyone who gives care, each in their own language.
Today
A research round runs a quarter, most of it admin.
With Cilia
It closes in a fortnight, your team clear of the scheduling and write-up.
Today
Field knowledge stays trapped in inboxes and notebooks.
With Cilia
A live picture stays current, and a spreading workaround is caught early.

The work around care falls on the people you can least spare.

The scarcest thing in care is human attention, and the work around care consumes it.

Every hour spent scheduling and writing up is an hour taken from care.

That work also returns the least reliable information, because people do not give a form the truth. Wording and effort blunt what they say, and on anything sensitive they edit what they admit (Schwarz, 1999; Krosnick, 1991; Tourangeau and Yan, 2007). Even face to face with a clinician, most have held something back (Levy et al., 2018). It costs you twice.

Cilia takes that work off people and recovers the fuller account, meeting each person in their own language (Squires, 2009) and following the exchange until it is whole. It works around care, and stops where clinical judgement begins.

It runs the whole loop, so no one has to.

A person answers in whatever form suits them. Cilia follows the exchange until the picture is whole, captures what was said across text, voice, photo and video, structures it, and routes it where it belongs. No one schedules, transcribes, translates or collates. What reaches you is ready to use, every line traceable to its source.

Cilia sits in Mitochondria's cloud and connects to the systems your teams already use through their APIs. It reaches people on the channels they are already on, and delivers the structured output straight back into your tools, with nothing installed inside your environment.

Cilia runs on the agentic system Mitochondria operates in production across other demanding domains. The engineering is proven; Cilia brings it to the work around care.

The boundary is deliberate.

Cilia works around care, not inside clinical decisioning. It carries the operational and conversational load and leaves clinical judgement with the people qualified to hold it. It is not a medical device, and makes no diagnostic or treatment decision. Sensitive clinical specifics are excluded by design. The line is set on purpose, because it is the line that lets a regulated organisation trust the system at all.

One engine, wherever the work piles up.

Daily operations and coordination
The everyday coordination that runs a care operation falls on the people delivering it: shift reports, staffing gaps, handovers, the daily log of what happened. Cilia gathers it from the field as it happens, flags what needs attention, and keeps a live operational picture, with your people off the phones and clear of the forms.
Routine follow-up and check-ins
Between visits and appointments, routine check-ins fall to coordinators and clinical staff. Cilia carries them at scale, keeps a live, structured view of who needs attention, and escalates what matters to the team, so your people are out of the chasing. The clinical calls stay with your clinicians.
Medical affairs and research
Interviews with clinicians across several countries usually vanish into scheduling, translation and write-up. Cilia runs them at scale and returns the themes and the quotes that ground them, with your team out of the logistics. A consistent, unhurried interviewer also removes the variation a human one introduces (West and Blom, 2017).
Field and quality audits
A site or supplier audit arrives as a rigid form few complete in full, and being watched changes what gets recorded anyway (McCambridge, Witton and Elbourne, 2014). Cilia takes the visit as messages, photographs and voice, captures more than the form would, and delivers it structured to your system, ready for review.

Built to be relied on.

Cilia processes data transiently, encrypted in transit and at rest, and retains nothing. Every output is auditable, and the system is ISO 27001:2022 certified.

Worth asking.

Who is Cilia for?

Medical affairs, market research, clinical operations and quality teams.

Across pharma and healthcare, any team carrying a load of interviews, field capture or follow-up that eats people's time and still loses the detail.

Does it add to our team's workload?

No. It removes work, so your people do less.

The scheduling, chasing, transcribing and translating move to Cilia, which hands your team the structured result instead.

Is Cilia a medical device?

No. It works around care, not inside it.

Cilia carries operational and conversational work and makes no diagnostic or treatment decision, so it sits outside the device scope.

Does it replace clinical judgement?

No. It does the listening so your people can do the judging.

It takes on the form-filling and the administrative load, and leaves the clinical calls with the people qualified to make them.

How does data work?

Your data stays in your environment, and is never used to train shared models.

Responses are processed transiently, encrypted in transit and at rest. Your data and records stay with you. The terms are set out in our DPA, compliant with GDPR, UK GDPR, and DPDP, and Mitochondria is ISO 27001:2022 certified.

What languages does it handle?

Each person's own, including mixed-language replies.

Cilia meets people in the language they speak rather than asking them to meet it in one, and reads mixed-language answers as sent.
