Our web-based approach offers valuable guidance through accessible and anonymous means. Users log in to secure accounts and speak with licensed professionals on a variety of topics—relationship conflict, job stress, etc.—from anywhere at any time. With our proprietary technology, we have removed every barrier to entry and created an outlet for millions who wouldn’t have sought emotional health services otherwise, reducing stress for an increasingly stressed-out generation. This is the future of mental health. \n\nThe shift in moving counseling services online is inevitable and our product is already in demand: After a successful pilot with Pretty Padded Room, an online therapy website specifically targeted towards millennial women, we are excited to relaunch as In Your Corner, an aspirational brand that provides the very best in counseling, coaching, and calm. In Your Corner improves on our original offering by being more gender-inclusive and convenient.

Until recently, it was only available in sophisticated clinics and regarded as the most valuable but underutilized assessment in medicine. PNOĒ changed that through the first easy-to-use clinical-grade breath analysis device, proprietary software package, and dedicated metabolic expert support. Through a non-invasive 10 min breath test, PNOĒ analyzes the human breath and prescribes a personalized nutrition, exercise, breathwork, and bio-optimization (i.e., red light therapy, hyperbaric chamber, IV therapy, etc.) program based on one’s biological limitations. 3,000+ health professionals trust PNOĒ because it personalizes the clients’ journey through their clinics, builds retention by quantifying progress, and enables the upsell of personalized nutrition and breathwork. All this without any effort, time commitment, or upfront cost. PNOĒ has been independently validated by Georgetown University, VA in Maryland, and Rutgers University and is trusted by leading institutions including Cenegenics, Dais Cove, MIT, UCLA, Pan Pacific, CLMBR, UCS, OURA, TONAL, Spartan Racing, and Paris Saint Germain.

The only way to deal with them is to cultivate sustainable dietary and lifestyle habits.\n\nChronic conditions have always been on the rise due to changing lifestyles, dietary habits, and environmental factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has only served to intensify this alarming trend, catapulting it to new heights.\n\nTo put it in perspective, Today more than **70%** of the adult population in the US report having one or more long-term health conditions that impact their quality of life and this number is rising.\\\n\\\n_Chronic illnesses account for **75% of all healthcare expenses** in the US._\n\nAlthough genetics play a role, most chronic illnesses are influenced by social determinants of health, such as sleep, diet, fitness, and stress. The power to make a difference lies largely with the individual.\n\nIn order to solve this problem, we need to shift the agency. So far the agents of healthcare have been doctors, nurses, and paramedics and the venue of healthcare has been hospitals and clinics and this needs to shift. The agent has to be the individual themselves and the venue has to be wherever the individual is, the home, their office, or wherever else.\n\n### **What’s the problem with Chronic condition management now?**\n\nI’ll walk you through the problems of the existing approach through the **story of our client👩🏻** Jennifer who is a lawyer in London.\n\nShe has a busy life and started experiencing peri-menopause symptoms like gut issues and hot flashes at 50.\n\nShe took medication but they only gave her temporary relief.\n\nThe symptoms kept on coming back and this affected her family and work life causing a lot of stress for her.\n\nHer mental health took a toll and that impacted her physical health.\n\nShe became trapped in a vicious flywheel, where her declining mental health fueled her physical deterioration, and vice versa.\n\n### **Our Solution✅**\n\nJennifer joined our program.\n\nShe received personalized Ayurvedic diet plans based on her body type. Through the program, she learned healthy diet habits and how to eat food in the right way, discovering the power of food as medicine.\n\nJennifer had a dedicated health coach who kept her motivated and supported her throughout her healing journey. She also did 1-1 therapeutic yoga sessions that were tailor-made for her condition. These sessions not only provided physical exercise but also helped her calm down in a way that a normal yoga session wouldn't.\n\nIn addition to this, Jennifer had access to a community of supportive women who were going through the same phase as her, creating a sense of belonging and support.\n\nOur Nirva app helped Jennifer stay accountable to her goals through customized progress tracking. The app provided her with a gamified healing experience and helped her build sustainable dietary and lifestyle habits.\n\nWith consistent effort, Jennifer's symptoms subsided within just 3 months. She gained control over her health and her life, and we couldn't be happier to have been a part of her journey.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70803&key=user_uploads/528396/b0c71ae2-86ee-4d8c-8052-dd8c006a85ad)\n\nOur customer love is Insane-Don’t have to take our word for it.

Traveling 30-45 minutes to a PR center twice a week is a lot harder, especially for people without transport or the ability to pay for gas and parking.\n\n**Kivo Health solves access by providing telehealth PR**, so patients can be treated comfortably at home.\n\n# **How it works**\n\nWe ship people our Kivo Kit, which has a cell-connected iPad, a Bluetooth pulse oximeter, and exercise equipment.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69058&key=user_uploads/29150/dd5cd6c7-0ead-424b-aa90-b30c62bedc77)\n\nPatients join live video sessions twice a week for 2 months, with one of our talented respiratory therapists.\n\nDuring the sessions, our therapists are:\n\n* Monitoring our patients with realtime pulse oximetry\n* Improving their lung function with exercise\n* Teaching them breathing techniques, inhaler use, and a lot of other key lessons.\n\n# **Wins**\n\nWe're building Kivo to help patients get access to pulmonary rehab. But it's the stories that make us feel great about what we're doing. Here's a few examples.\n\n1\\. One patient told us that she'd been using her inhaler wrong for over 20 years, until she learned proper technique from Kivo.\n\n2\\. Another patient told us that she loved Kivo so much, she wrote a letter to her pulmonologist telling him that he should refer all of his patients to our program.\n\n3\\. During our first cohort, we had a patient that was feeling the signs of a lung exacerbation one day. These are dangerous because people often end up in the ER, or even full hospitalization (which costs $19k on average!). Because she had learned from Kivo how to recognize the signs of an exacerbation, she immediately got a course of steroids from her doctor and felt better quickly. This could have made the difference between a hospital visit and relaxing at home.\n\n# **How you can help**\n\n* If you have a family member or friend with COPD or other lung disease, tell them about [Kivo Health](https://kivohealth.com?utm_source=launch_yc&utm_medium=post&utm_id=launch&utm_content=asks)!

After Lyft, Chine went to Stripe where she worked on banking-as-a-service, corporate cards, and payment links.\n\n[Lindsey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-redd/) worked on developer infrastructure and observability at Lyft before leaving to work at Stripe where she worked on low-code/no-code payments on the checkout and payment links teams. \n\n## 😢 **Problem**\n\n* **Tasks that involve both engineering and ops/CX are disjointed and time consuming.** Engineers spend too much time writing and running one-off scripts (e.g. fixing an out-of-sync user account) and ops/CX are often blocked by engineering.\n* **Building internal tools (even with low-code/no-code saas) takes a lot of frontend work.** As a result, building the tool stays in the backlog and engineers & ops keep schlepping through tasks.\n\n## **🥳 Our solution**\n\nOnu is a developer-first tool that allows engineers to quickly turn their ops/CX-related scripts or workflows into production-ready internal tools without having to write any frontend code at all.\n\n* **Spin up internal tools quickly** using the scripts you’ve already written, spending **zero time on frontend development.**\n* **See logs of each task’s previous executions** to keep track of when it was run, who ran it, and the result\n* Run scripts in your own environment but **without having to SSH into production**\n* **Use built-in integrations** to easily add actions to your tasks like posting to Slack, sending an email, or generating a Linear issue\n\n**🤯 You can use Onu to…**\n\n* **Onboard** **new users** to your product and then send them a welcome **email** \n* **Cancel a subscription**, refund the customer, and then update your **CRM**\n* **Fix an out-of-sync user account** and then notify a **Slack** channel of the fix\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69549&key=user_uploads/838199/3c3d3105-f01e-46a2-b5ea-b38d019b23c9)\n\n## **🌱 Why we built Onu**\n\nWe experienced these problems firsthand while working on fast moving engineering teams at Lyft and Stripe. Our teams needed internal tooling, but we didn’t have time to build feature-rich admin dashboards. Stripe had a homegrown tool that allowed engineers to spin up internal tools without writing frontend code. When we started working on Onu with a different idea we immediately felt the pain of not having a similar tool. \n\n## **🙌🏾 Asks**\n\n* **Sign up** - Join our [waitlist](https://joinonu.com/?utm_source=yclaunch) for early access!

It’s more expensive to address breaches than it is to look for potential weaknesses at design time.\n\n**It’s difficult and expensive to review designs.** The types of threats that the reviewer must consider are endless, and it’s easy to miss key risk areas even for experts. Security team and engineering team members must meet in order to discuss the design’s context and the risks that need to be addressed. Such meetings are expensive, time-consuming, and often disorganized.\n\n**Security teams are understaffed.** A 1:60 ratio is common for headcount between security and engineering staff. With such a skew, security teams often struggle to keep up with requests, forcing them to skip reviews or delay the development lifecycle.\n\n### Solution\n\nRemy finds designs that the security team should be aware of and makes a first pass at reviewing them using LLMs. It hands off its assessment to members of the security team, who make the final judgements on what questions/comments need to be raised in the document.\n\nUsers can view a list of designs to review, view their risk levels, and prioritize the most important ones to work on.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72542&key=user_uploads/1360703/5de6450e-ab7f-4fab-ae7f-8c1e9816da45)\n\nFor each document, Remy generates questions and feedback for you to send to the authors.

Existing digital MSK solutions are not personalized and only accessible through employer plans.\n\n1. Physical therapists (PTs) only keep **25%** of the revenue they generate for their clinics. To earn enough money, they have to see more than 20 patients per day, spending **less than 15 minutes** with each one.\n2. This leads to low patient satisfaction. Patients waste **5 hours** of time in the clinic and spend **$90** in co-pays in a typical week. **Only 30%** actually finish their full plan of care with the top complaint being lack of time and motivation.\n3. Low adherence means the only alternatives are turning to opioids or surgery. This drives over **$600 billion** in annual healthcare spend on MSK conditions.\n\n# \n\n### The Solution\n\nShasta Health provides **integrated** muscle and joint pain relief **at home**, combining expert care from PTs with AI tools to improve care plan adherence. Here is what happens when you come to Shasta Health:\n\n1. You fill out a secure intake powered by an language model + computer-vision with your symptoms. We use this to match you with the right physical therapist and automatically generate documentation on the backend.\n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73766&key=user_uploads/896902/35c9bea3-c7b1-4858-afe9-87f633478f29)\n\n2.

We are advised by Dr. Ayoosh Pareek (Orthopedic Surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery) and Dr. Laurel Mines (PT, DPT, Owner of Bay Laurel Athletics).\n\nSrinjoy was previously a Senior Engineer at Microsoft, where he led computer-vision projects on the HoloLens AR headset for healthcare companies. Pransu built medical billing software at Athelas (YC16), led an engineering team at Cockroach Labs, and brings research experience in telehealth privacy from UC Berkeley.\n\nWe reconnected after Srinjoy moved back to the Bay Area to take care of a family member with a critical medical condition. He spent most of last year in numerous PT appointments and grew frustrated with the broken system. We teamed up and started Shasta Health to improve the delivery of hybrid care for MSK conditions.\n\n# \n\n# **Asks**\n\n1. Do you have any muscle or joint pain?

Diabetes costs more than $237B in direct medical expenses every year, and there are >100M Americans with either prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes.\n\nThe solution to this problem needs two things:\n\n1. A focus on diabetes reversal, where sustained drug-free remission is the goal.  Lots of apps reduce diabetes costs by \\~5%.  We aim for 95%.\n2. Use the healthcare system we have – bill fee-for-service, accept patient referrals, be covered for everyone with insurance – and build a lean operation to power it.\n\n \n\nWe’re building a modern virtual care provider that can meet this need, combining the best of compassionate physician care with infinitely scalable technology to fit profitably into the real world of insurance reimbursement. \n\n  \n\n### **46% of Patients Reach the Remission Range**\n\nToday we have 2,000 patients in our program, and we deliver 46% of them into the A1C range for diabetic remission – that is, the lab range for someone without diabetes.  This adds years to their lives, offsets hundreds of thousands in lifetime healthcare costs, and significantly reduces the risk of heart disease and cognitive decline.\n\n![timeline](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D5622AQFdJxzZM_nMjA/feedshare-shrink_2048_1536/0/1687880971696?e=1694044800&v=beta&t=ofkErOL_pd8t3nbIqMHPtP0_zGCuKCzHaOntjhNkubA)\n\n \n\n### **Doing It Profitably**\n\nThe key to making all of this work is provider leverage.  We make technology that gives our doctors superpowers.  They can complete documentation in a fraction of the time of their peers (<20%) and handle group medical sessions with ease (one of the best-reimbursed services in healthcare because it’s usually so arduous).\n\nWe built our own EMR platform, connecting every decision physicians make to real patient data – including readiness-for-change, behavioral momentum, and more.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73770&key=user_uploads/1247082/631140dd-4176-432a-a0dc-e736b9d078e4)\n\n \n\nOur patients spend only a couple of hours with physicians but have more than 20x hours of connection with their physicians – as they learn through personalized content, understand their disease through interactive reports that contextualize their data, and work step-by-step through implementing their recommended lifestyle changes.  In the future we will leverage LLMs to answer patient questions and guide them through changes, further increasing this provider leverage ratio.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73770&key=user_uploads/1247082/a6e571be-d442-4c12-a901-97437813c98b)\n\n \n\n \n\n### **We’re going to shrink this market**\n\nDiabetes is a $237B market in the US.  Diabetes reversal and maintenance will be a $36B market.  For every $1 spent on diabetes reversal, we offset $15 spent on diabetes care.  And that’s great because the healthcare system needs those dollars for other things.\n\nType 2 diabetes is just the beginning, as lifestyle medicine can also transform costs across a range of cardiometabolic diseases.  LifestyleRx is the lifestyle prescription for those diseases, and we intend to build a solution that can scale to the size of this vast problem.\n\n\\-\n\nTo get in touch, email [jason@lifestylerx.io](mailto:jason@lifestylerx.io)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/JBq-lifestylerx-virtual-care-for-type-2-diabetes-reversal", "votes": 20, "created_at": "2023-08-03T18:45:06.551Z" } ] }, { "id": 29413, "name": "Oma Care", "slug": "oma-care", "former_names": [ "RestAssured MD" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/a7fceaead3284b794c1d0cfd96318f52d2e24bdd.png", "website": "https://www.omacare.com", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA", "long_description": "We are building the technical infrastructure to train and pay the 53M family caregivers in the US.

The same happened when my cousin was diagnosed with a developmental disability. Today, there are 53 million Americans who take care of their aging, disabled, or sick loved ones at home.\n\n### **🚨The Problem:**\n\nLast year, family caregivers in the US provided 36B hours of unpaid care ([$600B](https://press.aarp.org/2023-03-08-New-Report-Highlights-Increasing-Cost-of-Family-Caregiving-in-the-US)) because:\n\n1. **The nurse shortage:** right now, up to [70%](https://thearc.org/blog/private-duty-nursing-makes-community-living-possible-how-you-can-help/#:\\~:text=Right%20now%2C%2050%20to%2070,the%20families%20who%20need%20it.) of at-home nursing shifts are going unfulfilled. When these shifts go unfilled, family caregivers are left to fill in the gaps. In one state, [1 in 5](https://www.northcarolinahealthnews.org/2023/10/04/nc-home-nursing-shortage/) caregivers lost their job to take on the role of a full-time caregiver.\n2. **Soaring in-home care costs:** even if you can find a nurse, the average cost of professional in-home care exceeds $60,000 annually, placing it out of reach for [83% of families](https://www.kff.org/health-costs/poll-finding/the-affordability-of-long-term-care-and-support-services/).\n\nMost caregivers **unknowingly qualify for government programs that compensate family caregivers**, largely because the application process is confusing & filled with red tape. These programs are a patchwork of private and public insurance benefits with complicated eligibility requirements, glitchy websites, and long paper forms.\n\nIn one case, I spent **3\\.5 hours** on the phone to sign someone up, had to fax **30+ pages** of eligibility forms, and then **another hour** on the phone to check if they were received. All before even starting the application. Plus, the office was only open during work hours, the phone line was only available in English, and the first agent I spoke to had never even heard of the program before.\n\n### **🌟 The Oma Way:**\n\n**We unlock a way for the 53 million caregivers to get paid up to $28/hour ($60,000/year) for doing what they are already doing.** Oma Care offers free training and support to these caregivers, empowering them to deliver effective care. As a result, we unlock financial compensation for these family members through automated Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements.\n\n**Some examples of things we do:**\n\n* **Automated eligibility verification & program enrollment:** Our AI agent will call the government and spend hours on the phone so you don’t have to. We also fill in those 30+ page forms and submit them on your behalf so no one has to learn how to use a fax machine like I did 😆.\n* **Educational training**: [65% of patient care](https://www.caregiver.org/resource/selected-long-term-care-statistics/) is done by family caregivers, and we help by training them with the medical skills and knowledge they need to care for their loved ones.\n* **Healthcare management:** We prompt medication reminders, give them personalized care plans, and connect all their home health data to their provider.\n* **Technical Infrastructure:** As a caregiver, you want to focus on giving your loved one care. We streamline financial and medical compliance so caregivers don’t have to worry about payroll, liability insurance, workers comp, medical coding, billing, etc.\n\n### **✅ And we’re seeing buy-in from all parties:**\n\n**Caregivers** are eager to finally get paid for the work that they are already doing. [77%](https://www.aarp.org/home-family/your-home/info-2021/home-and-community-preferences-survey.html) of **patients** prefer to get their care at home from someone they know and trust. **Payors & providers** are excited by the idea of rewarding proactive health management to reduce costs (by up to 40%) and readmission rates (by up to 20%). And the **government** is making strides to support family caregivers, rolling out [350 federal programs and initiatives](https://acl.gov/sites/default/files/common/NatlStrategyFamCaregivers_FedActions.pdf) last year and counting. Plus, our software monitors the usage of these programs, making sure CMS dollars go a long way.\n\n### **🌱 The Big Vision**\n\nWe believe that the **future of care is at home** and we are building the technical infrastructure to achieve that vision. With a [47% increase](https://www.prb.org/resources/fact-sheet-aging-in-the-united-states/#:\\~:text=The%20number%20of%20Americans%20ages,from%2017%25%20to%2023%25.&text=The%20U.S%20population%20is%20older%20today%20than%20it%20has%20ever%20been.) in our aging population by 2050, the pressure is on to find a solution to support our caregivers - who provide [65% of patient care](https://www.caregiver.org/resource/selected-long-term-care-statistics/).

Despite the cost, patients still face language barriers in healthcare. Vocality Health is building the most accurate and secure AI medical language interpretation system. Unlike human interpreters, Vocality is instant, always available, and integrates directly into hospital workflows. Hospitals are already signing up.\\\n\\\n\n\n---\n\n## The Problem ❌\n\nHospitals struggle to communicate with linguistically diverse patients. Current solutions like human interpreters, phone services, or ad hoc translation by family members are slow, expensive, and often unavailable when needed most. Miscommunication leads to worse outcomes, longer hospital stays, and nearly doubles the cost of care.\n\n---\n\n## Our Solution ✅\n\nVocality Health is an AI-powered interpretation platform for hospitals that provides real-time, accurate, and clinically safe translation for doctors and patients.\n\nUnlike existing services:\n\n* **🏥 Instant & Always On** – No need to wait for an interpreter.\n* **🧑‍⚕️ Built for Hospitals** – Designed for clinical use, not general-purpose translation. Compliant and built to preserve patient privacy.\n* **📲 Fully Integrated** – Works with existing systems and hospital workflows.\n\nHospitals using Vocality get faster patient care, lower costs, and better outcomes.\n\n---\n\n## The Team 🤝\n\nVivek and I met as undergrads on the Harvard Cricket Club and later built [Fulltrack AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/fulltrack-ai), a viral cricket app that became the #1 sports app in India, outranking the Olympics app (during the Olympics).\n\nWe’re now teaming up again to solve a problem that is deeply personal to both of us. After being denied coverage in the U.S., I spent years navigating international healthcare, experiencing firsthand how language barriers impact care and outcomes. Vivek, a PhD in speech generative models, has spent years developing AI to improve real-time communication. This problem is at the intersection of our experiences and expertise, and we couldn’t be more excited to be tackling it.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88135&key=user_uploads/467701/8b9289f5-6fd0-428c-9709-049edb562379)\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Early Traction\n\n🏥 **Hospitals are already signing up to use Vocality Health.** Even at this early stage, they see the value and are willing to pay today.\n\nIf you're a hospital, provider, or industry expert, we’d love to chat.\n\n📩 Get in touch at [founders@vocalityhealth.com](mailto:founders@vocalityhealth.com)\\\n🌍 Learn more: \n\nLet’s make healthcare truly accessible.\n\n---", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MvX-vocality-health-ai-powered-medical-interpretation-for-hospitals", "votes": 76, "created_at": "2025-02-28T00:48:16.000Z" } ] }, { "id": 30491, "name": "Novoflow", "slug": "novoflow", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/5dc1e2e5cc8a224ba29a91be64f14ab1fbc9cde3.png", "website": "https://www.novoflow.io/", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Novoflow deploys AI agents that operate on any medical practice’s EHR to automate its biggest operational bottlenecks.

Clinics can reclaim **up to $50k/month** on average in missed revenue without hiring another receptionist.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/LQA-QeiY_F4\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\nThe old reception model is breaking. Outsourced call centers, dead-end IVRs, and half-integrated schedulers still miss 42% of patient calls. Each unbooked physician hour stacks into a $50,000 monthly loss in revenue per average independent clinic. Medical practices are stuck because decade-old and proprietary EHRs can’t accept real-time integrations from next-gen solutions.\n\n### **🏥 Our Solution**\n\n**Full-stack AI receptionist**\n\n1. **24 / 7 voice AI** greets patients in 25+ languages, verifies insurance, and classifies intent in real-time.\n2. **Universal EHR plumbing** writes, reschedules, or cancels appointments natively inside any system.\n3. **One-hour go-live**: point our SIP trunk at the clinic’s number—no new phones, no code.\n4. **Dashboard & KPIs**: abandonment, call-to-appointment conversion, provider utilization, no-show rate.\n\nEarly adopters project a **10% jump in provider utilization** and a **22% lift in call-to-appointment conversion**—with happier patients to match.\n\n### **🙏 Our Ask**\n\n* Know an independent clinic, multi-specialty group, or surgery center bleeding revenue to missed calls?\n* Have friends or family running front-desk operations that need multilingual coverage?\n* Want to beta-test features like outbound recall automation or balance-due collection?\n\n👉 Intro us!

If you know any fire chiefs/city managers, practice owners in any specialty, or have connections to EHR/ePCR companies, please reach out!\n\n\n\n**Problem:**\n\nHealthcare providers spend somewhere between 2% and 10% of their revenue in order to get paid for services they have already provided. It can take a few weeks to several months (to never…) for them to get this money, and often requires hours and hours of manual work in order to get the claims actually paid.\n\nThe process is so complicated that the providers have 2 options: hire a small army of medical billers in-house in order to submit their claims to the insurance company, or pay a 3rd party up to 10% of their revenue to handle the claims for them, with little visibility into what is actually going on. Neither of these are great options; with the in-house route, providers spend countless hours interviewing, training and managing a team of people in an area that they don’t even have an expertise in, or they have to hope that some 3rd party will really chase every single dollar for them (guess what: they won’t).\n\n**Solution:**\n\nOverdrive Health is an AI-native, full-stack medical billing company that can actually afford to go after every single dollar that a provider is owed. By automating time-consuming tasks like insurance company phone calls, documentation quality checks, benefit verification and a slew of others, even a $100 claim becomes profitable for us to collect, which means our **incentives are truly aligned**. We can collect money **faster** than a traditional billing company, while maintaining **consistent, high-quality collections percentage** by utilizing a small team of expert billers behind our AI systems.\n\n**Where we are now**:\n\nWe are acquiring a traditional ambulance billing agency that serves \\~20 ambulance providers, doing over **$50mm in claims/yr**. Since launching our AI agents, their revenue per FTE has **nearly doubled**.\n\n**Where we are going:**\n\nThe **$2bn EMS billing space** is just the beginning. We think that the technology and systems we’re building will be broadly applicable across all medical verticals, and we hope to provide the best possible RCM experience to all healthcare providers.

They still need **medication**.\n\nThe problem?\n\nWhen you are struggling with substance abuse (alcohol or otherwise), you often don’t have $10 in your bank account to pay for gas.\n\nWe have too many users that downloaded Sunflower because **they can’t afford paying $125/hr for therapy**. That can’t afford dropping $350 a quarter for Naltrexone.\n\nOutpatient programs for SUDs are one of the most regulated spaces within behavioral health, and because of this, access to care that _will actually take our users insurance_ (medicaid) is extremely limited.\n\nThis is why we are working to build the **Sunflower Clinic of Addiction Medicine**.\n\nA 50 state telemedicine program for SUDs that _actually_ takes medicaid. Now live in MI & PA with SUD facility licensing, state medicaid approval, and in the final steps of county level MCO contracting.\n\nWe are combining our best in class AI Sponsor with Mayo Clinic MDs and therapy leadership that built group programs at Charlie Health from 8 - 300+ therapists … our goal is to build the **best outpatient program on the face of this planet** & get it covered by medicaid nationwide.\n\nSo far we have over **37,500+ patients on a waitlist** who have requested Therapy or Medication from Sunflower, representing a TAM of $153M waiting to be served.\n\nWe are going to solve one of the most important problems in human existence. A problem that globally we spend over $100B treating every year, and is the greatest shackle to the acceleration of humanity.\n\n**Thanks for following along with our story.** Here’s some data. 🌻\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=112046&key=user_uploads/132378/bc43bb69-3c76-4b16-8e62-9cfb56adef66)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=112046&key=user_uploads/132378/6360a175-3730-4f34-8f8f-877c0ecab8e8)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=112046&key=user_uploads/132378/811dae90-30c2-433d-93fb-876fb9f2beb3)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=112046&key=user_uploads/132378/8202d2c7-82ba-45c5-bf9b-c9c2373454b5)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=112046&key=user_uploads/132378/d23f1ef9-74b8-4e82-8020-6b8938e6acc5)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=112046&key=user_uploads/132378/96db8f55-0afb-4cf5-bb78-715ba7e29fa6)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=112046&key=user_uploads/132378/f3fec3da-c919-4264-8946-5aed579c3493)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/T9C-the-sunflower-clinic-of-addiction-medicine-live-in-pa-mi", "votes": 526, "created_at": "2026-08-24T16:12:24.013Z" }, { "id": 94154, "title": "Sunflower: An AI Agent tasked with helping you stay sober. 🌻", "tagline": "Quit drinking alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, opioids, heroin, gambling, porn, or anything else", "body": "![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94154&key=user_uploads/132378/03768fda-8234-42c4-a4ef-07df5eccdb39)\n\nHey friends!\n\nSunflower builds an app that **uses AI to convince people to stop drinking** (or doing drugs) & **to stop killing ourselves**. 🐝\n\nMost people have a personal story or connection with addiction.\n\nFor me, I used to smoke too much weed (thank god it wasn’t anything harder).

We automate the administrative work that keeps clinics running — referrals, fax intake, scheduling, procedure compliance, records, and collections. Everything that isn't the medicine.\n\n**In 8 months, we've grown 17x and crossed seven figures in contracted ARR.**\n\nSo far we cover six specialties across eight states, all on annual or multi-year contracts, with 80% of our growth through word-of-mouth.\n\n\n\n**The Problem**\n\nMy mom is a doctor. Plena's office sits inside her clinic — she was our first user. I grew up watching her run a practice, and the pattern was the same in every clinic I later embedded in: a doctor's day eaten by everything that isn't medicine.\n\nIndependent specialty practices are squeezed. Staffing costs rising, reimbursements tightening, payers using automation to deny and downcode claims.\n\nMeanwhile, practices run critical workflows across EHRs, clearinghouses, portals, fax, spreadsheets, phones, and email. A single referral: read the fax, match the patient, extract clinical details, check insurance, update the EHR, attach documents, route tasks, chase missing info. That's one workflow. Practices run dozens daily.\n\nMost software adds another portal, another login, another vendor. Point solutions cover a slice. Staff stitch the rest together.\n\n\\\n**Why Point Solutions Can't Get You to Labor Replacement**\n\nThe real goal isn't automating one workflow. It's labor replacement — and you can't get there one feature at a time.\n\nNo single piece of software works for all specialty practices. Cardiology, GI, urology, ortho are too different from each other. Even two clinics in the same specialty are too different. Off-the-shelf can't cover the surface area.\n\nSo we took a Palantir-like approach: a base platform of reusable building blocks — workflow primitives, EMR integrations, agent harnesses — that lets us assemble exactly what each practice needs. Deep discovery, build to spec, stand it up in a day or two. Every engagement feeds the platform, so the next build is faster. That's the flywheel.\n\nAI is what makes this newly possible — final-mile customization at speed is exactly what AI is good at. And it's why we're an easy yes: no rip-and-replace, no retraining. We slot into what practices already run and take more off their plate over time.\n\n**How Plena Works**\\\nPlena automates workflows end-to-end across the systems a practice already uses — EHRs, fax, phones, clearinghouses, payer portals, patient communication. We don't replace those systems. We don't ask staff to learn a new one.\n\nSome competitors force practices to migrate into a walled garden — abandon the EMR, retrain the team, rebuild data flows. That's why their sales cycles are slow. We do the opposite: we live inside what's already there, and quietly take over the rote work end-to-end.\n\nCustomers start with one painful workflow — referrals, collections, scheduling — then expand as they see it work.\n\n\\\n**Where This Goes**\n\nWe start as an automation layer on top of what practices already have. Over time we cannibalize the rote work and the other vendors a practice is stitched together from — until the EHR is just a database we read and write to. From there, even the EHR becomes a turnkey switch instead of the migration nightmare it is today.\n\nThat's the system specialty practices end up running on.\n\n\\\n**Our Story**\n\nEyad and Ahmed were both raised in medicine — Eyad's mom and Ahmed's dad are doctors. The combination — engineers who grew up watching practices run — is why we kept seeing the operational problem when other founders saw something else.\n\nEyad is a Waterloo engineering grad — Datadog and Shopify before Plena, 3 years embedded in clinics. Ahmed built tier-zero infrastructure at AWS, with a background in nuclear systems before that. Specialty practices didn't need another lightweight tool — they needed infrastructure.\n\n\\\n**Our Ask**\n\nIntros to independent specialty practices, administrators, and physician owners — especially orthopedics, GI, dermatology, ophthalmology, ENT, urology, and multi-location groups.

We have deep experience within enterprise AI for healthcare.\n\nPreviously, we both worked at Anterior (backed by Sequoia, NEA, Microsoft AI’s CEO) — where we built, sold and deployed our clinical AI platform to US health plans to remove major operational bottlenecks.\n\n[Haris](https://www.linkedin.com/in/haris-javed-akhtar/) (CEO) is an MD and led partnerships on Anterior’s GTM team (2nd GTM hire), selling to the biggest healthcare enterprises in the US and landed Anterior’s first health plan and partnership customers.\n\n[Yaman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yaman-ziadeh/) (CTO) has an MS in AI was an AI Platform Engineer, building and deploying Anterior’s clinical AI platform.\n\nNow we’re doing the same for Life Sciences. Only this time, we’re not selling the AI tools. We’re **owning the whole stack** and selling the outcome. Faster, better and at lower cost.\n\n### **Problem**\n\nDeveloping drugs and medical devices is complex and expensive (for drugs: 10-15 years, $1-2B).\n\nThe cost of drug development is growing exponentially (doubling every 9 years). This is known as Eroom’s Law (inverse Moore’s Law).\n\n**The most critical** process in development is getting regulatory alignment, and ultimately, approval from the FDA.\n\nBiotechs and medtechs outsource this work to regulatory consultants.\n\nThis work is highly manual: searching through legacy FDA databases, researching and reading hundreds of publications, reading FDA guidance documents, data analysis, authoring thousands of pages per filing, etc.\n\nConsultants take months to years, and charge 6–7 figures per engagement, to deliver FDA regulatory strategy, authoring and submission services.\n\nThese consultants also price hourly. Therefore, using AI to go faster would cannibalize their revenue. So they have no incentive to deliver work faster.\n\n### **What changed**\n\n**AI can automate 90% of this work**. Consultants can now focus on the 10% where their expertise and judgement is actually needed.\n\n### **Solution**\n\nWe hire the best FDA consultants in the industry (ex-FDA, decades of experience, hundreds of FDA filings).\n\nWe pair them with our AI platform to deliver higher quality FDA regulatory services **significantly** **faster and at lower cost.**\n\nWe also offer **fixed, milestone-based** pricing.

Today, both are broken processes: slow, fragmented, and almost entirely manual. Healthcare organizations are forced to juggle dozens of documents, third-party verifications, and follow-ups across hundreds of payer portals with unique requirements and timelines.\n\nThe result: revenue is delayed, contract terms go unnegotiated, payers deny clinicians, and patient access is restricted. \n\n**Our Solution**\n\nArctic Health hires best-in-class credentialing experts and pairs them with our AI platform to deliver the fastest and lowest-cost path to contracting and payer enrollment for healthcare organizations of any size.\n\nWe handle the end-to-end workflow, from establishing payer contracts to enrolling each provider. We collect and validate organization and provider data according to each state and payer’s requirements, and submit on the organization's behalf. We then monitor status and compliance on an ongoing basis.\n\nThe platform gets smarter with every submission, contract, and claim. Our browser agents learn to navigate payer portals more effectively. Our communications data shows us who to reach at each payer and when. Enrollment outcomes reveal which networks are actually open. And as we handle negotiations across payers and networks, we build a clearer picture of how contracts get done and how rates vary by specialty and region.\n\n**Our Backstory**\n\nAt our previous companies (Scale AI, Instabase, and Airbnb) we kept running into the same gap: powerful AI tools fell short in workflows with specific rules, data types, and consequences. Nowhere was that gap more visible than in US healthcare, where administrative spend exceeds $1T annually. We decided it was time to close the gap. We started with credentialing and contracting, workflows that cost billions each year and were in desperate need of the solution we envisioned: AI that understands documents and executes guidelines precisely, eliminating overhead. \n\n**The Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101935&key=user_uploads/3094526/01040e3c-25d5-40f5-830d-f29b0d7e68b4)\n\nSam Slezek (CEO): Sam built the PhD data platform at Scale AI, where he saw firsthand the demand from AI labs and enterprises for workflow-specific training data. Before Scale, Sam led the Instacart+ subscription product team, invested at the VC firm Amasia, and covered insurance companies in investment banking at Morgan Stanley.\n\nRaghav Mehrish (CTO): Raghav was a senior software engineer at Airbnb, where he led large-scale projects across host growth, internationalization and long term stays. Before that, he developed the payroll platform and mobile app at Zenefits. Most recently, he co-founded and scaled Handstamp, an event ticketing platform, to several million in GMV and hundreds of thousands of users.\n\nMichael Clark (COO): Michael was the founding sales rep on the inside sales team at Instabase where he led the company’s push into Healthcare AI, working with companies like CVS on prior authorization.

We have **$50M+ in annualized national insurance contracts** and will begin delivering care in September 2026.\n\nWe bring independent practices into one national clinical group that can deliver, measure, and improve care at scale: **600+ clinicians across 70 locations in 32 states, plus telehealth nationwide.**\n\nEvery clinician runs on a single intelligent system of record powered by collective intelligence at a scale, no independent practice could achieve alone.\n\n\n\n### **How we got here**\n\nWe have the fastest-growing distribution base in behavioral health: 8000+ independent mental health clinicians in America already run their practice on Allia. That's 1,000+ practices every day, caring for 300,000+ patients. It's our wedge: clinicians adopt the OS to run their practice, and we convert those practices into our clinical group.\n\n### **What Allia does**\n\nAllia is a clinical group that gives independent mental health practices the coordination, infrastructure, and payer contracts of a connected health system,  while letting them stay independent. \n\n1. **One coordinated group.** Because every practice operates as part of Allia, care no longer stops at the walls of a single office. Patients move through therapy, psychiatry, primary care, specialty, and higher levels of care as one coordinated journey across a single entity.\n2. **Care that stays connected.** Allia matches each patient to the right clinician and coordinates what comes next across the full continuum of care. Referrals are tracked through completion, so patients are never left to navigate the system alone.\n3. **Operations that run in the background.** Eligibility, intake, scheduling, documentation, coding, billing, follow-ups, and payer reporting happen automatically as care is delivered. Far less gets chased by hand, so clinicians spend their time on patients, not paperwork.\n4. **Outcomes that become visible.** Measurement-informed care, powered by our proprietary agentic technology, is built into every patient's journey, identifying who is improving, who is disengaging, and who needs a change in treatment. The group turns that evidence into better care across the continuum, and into the outcome data that earns better payer contracts.\n\n### **Traction**\n\n* $50M+ in annualized care capacity under signed national contracts with America's largest health insurance companies\n* 8,000+ clinicians across 1,000+ practices use Allia every day (our distribution wedge); 600+ are already activated into the clinical group.\n* 300,000+ patients supported across the network\n\n### **Team**\n\n* **Amie Leighton (CEO):** dropped out of Oxford and declined a place at medical school to build Allia.\n* **Saroosh Khan (CTO):** 94.2% on ARC-AGI-2 (next best: 74%, Google DeepMind); first to cross the 85% \"human-like reasoning\" threshold.
