## Summary

Ellipsis Health announced on November 5, 2026, that it has acquired Kouper Health, a startup specializing in AI agents for healthcare workflows. The deal adds Kouper’s longitudinal patient maps and native electronic health record (EHR) integrations to Ellipsis’s Sage AI Care Manager, aiming to track patients across care transitions rather than isolated visits.

Kouper’s technology consolidates data from different care settings into a unified patient history, enabling Sage to match patients with providers and book appointments directly in EHR systems. Ellipsis claims Sage’s Empathy Engine—trained on over 3 million labeled clinical conversations—boosts care-management enrollment sixfold, cuts administrative tasks by 60%, and delivers up to 66% higher task-completion rates than human agents. Kouper, founded in 2022, had raised $10 million in 2025 and reported 50%+ patient engagement gains for early adopters like LifePoint and Henry Ford Health. Both companies will retain their brands while merging products, with Ellipsis targeting new health-system offerings soon.

## Key points

- Kouper’s EHR integrations let Sage book appointments directly in patient records, bridging care gaps
- Ellipsis reports Sage’s Empathy Engine delivers six-times faster enrollment and 66% higher task completion
- Kouper’s $10M 2025 funding came from General Catalyst, 25Madison, and CVS Health Ventures

## Why it matters

The acquisition combines patient engagement AI with real-time care context, potentially reducing administrative burdens and improving continuity for health plans and providers.
