[Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261104627508/en/) published the announcement. The purchase price was not disclosed.\n\n[Ellipsis Health](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00003c6/ellipsis-health) builds Sage, an emotionally intelligent AI voice agent that conducts care management calls for U.S. health plans, health systems, specialty care managers and pharmaceutical companies. [Kouper Health](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000ma7/kouper-health) embeds AI agents in clinical workflows and builds longitudinal patient maps that bring information from across a patient's care into a more unified view.\n\n## What Ellipsis Gains From Kouper's EHR Agents\n\nEllipsis said the acquisition brings its Sage AI Care Manager together with Kouper's native EHR integrations and longitudinal patient maps. With Kouper's integrations, Sage will gain the patient context to match people with the right providers and schedule appointments directly in the EHR, according to the announcement.\n\nSage runs on a patented Empathy Engine trained on more than 3 million labeled clinical conversations and analyzes vocal cues in real time to assess emotional signals and adapt its interactions. Through phone and text, Sage supports enrollment, clinical assessments, medication adherence and post-discharge follow-up. Ellipsis said Sage has delivered 6x faster care management program enrollment, a 60% reduction in administrative tasks, task completion rates up to 66% higher than human agents, and up to 7x return on investment across deployments.\n\n\"Healthcare has enormous potential to benefit from AI, but the hard part has been making that technology work for patients and care teams,\" said Mainul Mondal, Founder and CEO of Ellipsis Health. \"Kouper brings critical infrastructure for making that possible inside health systems.\"\n\nSalman Ali, Co-Founder and CEO of Kouper Health, said most workflows are built around episodes of care rather than the full journey. \"By joining Ellipsis, we can pair that infrastructure with emotionally intelligent AI that engages and supports patients well beyond a single appointment or discharge,\" Ali said.\n\nKouper's team is joining Ellipsis. Both companies will continue serving existing customers under their respective brands while developing a combined product roadmap, with new offerings for health systems expected in the months ahead.\n\n## Ellipsis's Funding and Platform Record\n\nEllipsis raised a $45 million Series A in June 2025 led by CVS Health Ventures, Khosla Ventures and Salesforce, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list total funding of $76.1 million at the Series A stage, with the last round dated June 12, 2025.\n\nThe same records show Ellipsis embedded Sage into the HealthEdge GuidingCare, PromptWell and Clearstep platforms in April 2026, extending its reach into health plan care management and patient engagement workflows. Ellipsis launched Sage on the Salesforce AppExchange with one-click installation in January 2026 and achieved HITRUST Certification in 2026.\n\n## Kouper's Roadmap Under Ellipsis\n\nEllipsis said new offerings for health systems are expected in the months ahead as the two companies develop a combined product roadmap. Kouper's team is joining Ellipsis, and both companies will continue serving existing customers under their respective brands.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
