At Ogma, we believe speech and language therapy should be accessible, efficient, and empowering for both therapists and patients. But the reality today is that speech and language therapists (SLTs) face heavy workloads, high administrative demands, and limited time with patients. These challenges not only affect therapists but also mean that many patients—particularly children—face long wait times and limited access to care. That’s why we created Ogma: to revolutionise the way speech and language therapy is delivered by putting AI to work for therapists and their patients.

Our Mission: A New Era of Therapy, Fueled by AI

Our goal at Ogma is to bring a fresh approach to speech and language therapy, where therapists are equipped with tools that enhance their work and reduce burnout. We want to help SLTs focus on what matters most: helping patients communicate and thrive. Through AI, we aim to make therapy more efficient and accessible, ultimately transforming a field that has long been underserved by technology.

But we’re not just here to add more tools; we’re here to fundamentally rethink what’s possible. By leveraging cutting-edge AI, we’re building solutions that streamline documentation, make reporting faster, and let therapists see more patients—all while maintaining high standards of care. We’re passionate about seeing the field evolve in a way that supports SLTs as they do the incredible work of helping people express themselves and connect with the world.

Our Core Thesis: Empowering Therapists, Enhancing Patient Outcomes

The core thesis behind Ogma is simple but powerful: AI can support therapists in delivering higher-quality care, faster and with less administrative overhead. We believe that, when used thoughtfully, AI can reduce barriers to accessing speech and language therapy, particularly for underserved communities. Here’s how our approach breaks down:

  1. AI as an Assistant, Not a Replacement
    Therapists’ expertise is irreplaceable. Ogma’s AI-powered tools are designed to support therapists, automating repetitive documentation tasks so they can spend more time with patients. Our goal is to complement human skills—not replace them. By saving time on paperwork, therapists can see more patients, improve outcomes, and reduce wait times.
  2. Accessibility for All
    We believe every child, regardless of background, should have access to quality speech and language support. By increasing therapists’ capacity and efficiency, we’re working to bridge the gap in access, making it easier for low- and middle-income families to get the care they need. AI can be a powerful equalizer, and we’re here to make sure it reaches those who need it most.
  3. Quality, Efficiency, and Innovation
    At Ogma, we’re committed to delivering solutions that are as effective as they are easy to use. Our tools are built to the highest standards, so therapists can rely on Ogma to produce accurate, high-quality documentation in minutes. We work closely with practicing SLTs to understand their needs and continuously improve our technology, so they always have the best tools in their hands.

A Vision for the Future of Speech and Language Therapy

Looking forward, we see a future where SLTs are empowered with technology that removes barriers, enhances patient care, and makes their work more rewarding. We’re excited about the possibilities AI offers, from personalised progress tracking to real-time feedback, and we’re committed to exploring every opportunity that supports therapists and helps their patients thrive.

Ogma exists because we believe in the power of communication and the right of every individual to access quality care. We’re here to make that vision a reality—by building AI-driven tools that transform the therapy landscape, empower therapists, and improve patient outcomes.
