Through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, our service connects users with a carefully curated team of wellness professionals.

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.

Today we launched **Meru Health Advanced** — a 6 to 12 month integrated psychiatry and therapy program for the patients standard care has failed most completely: treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, severe mental illness, and mental health stacked on chronic physical illness.\n\nEvery patient starts with a real diagnosis: comprehensive psychiatric visits, a 30–50 biomarker lab panel, and a coordinated team — psychiatrist, therapist, dietitian, care navigator — on one platform. Plus continuous biometric data via Whoop, HRV biofeedback, and lab-informed lifestyle and supplement protocols.\n\nAcross 17 peer-reviewed studies (Stanford, Harvard, UCSF, UC Davis, Washington, Rutgers), 55–67% of our patients achieve a 50%+ reduction in depression symptoms in 2–3 months — vs 19–33% on SSRIs. Accorded actuarial analysis: 55% fewer inpatient admissions, 31% fewer ER visits, 23% lower Rx costs.\n\n## **Demo video**\n\n\n\n## **What's the backstory?**\n\nKristian and his co-founders Riku and Albert founded Meru after Kristian had lost his brother Peter to suicide. Standard psychiatry couldn't help him; the antidepressants he was prescribed only made him worse. He wasn't an outlier — 30–40% of people with mental health conditions get labeled \"treatment-resistant,\" a phrase I read as a confession that the model itself runs out of options after the second or third prescription.\n\nA decade and 45,000 patients in, our 12-week Therapy program is enough for most. But the most complex patients needed something more: a psychiatrist who understands metabolic and lifestyle medicine, comprehensive labs, a dietitian, and a team that operates as one. That combination didn't exist anywhere. So we built it.\n\n## **What are your asks?**\n\n**1. Patient intros** — anyone who's tried the standard path and not gotten better, especially treatment-resistant and severe conditions, or mental health on a chronic illness. \n\n**2.

For 100+ years, breath analysis (AKA metabolic testing, VO2max) has been the gold standard in anti-aging quantification, nutrition prescription, and evaluation of most critical systems, including the heart, lungs, cells, and nervous system. 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.

We’ve created Finito, a self-hypnosis app that helps people quit with 15-minute daily sessions, educational readings, and stop-craving tools.\n\nCheck out the app on [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/finito-quit-smoking-hypnosis/id1624855382?platform=iphone) or the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindsethealth.quit)!

It’s responsible for 1 in 5 deaths and an economic cost of more than [$300 billion a year in the US](https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/index.htm) alone.\n\nWhile half of smokers made a quit attempt in the past year, research shows it may take up to 30 attempts before they are successful. This is because nicotine patches and gums do not address the emotional and habitual factors behind smoking and access to in-person therapeutic support is limited.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65293&key=user_uploads/243817/d8b07f51-9847-4ee2-bcf6-f1e3055e45b8)\n\n**✨ Our solution**\n\nWe’ve joined up with world-leading neuroscientist Dr Gary Elkins to create an easy-to-use app with a 4-week structured program that helps people quit smoking with 15-minute daily self-hypnosis sessions, educational readings, and stop-craving tools.\n\nWhat distinguishes Finito from other smoking cessation solutions is that it addresses the underlying reasons that cause people to smoke in the first place, providing hypnotic suggestions to the subconscious to manage cravings, emotions, and habits.\n\nThe program is ideal for people who have tried to quit but have returned to smoking because it changes their unconscious smoking behavior and gives them the tools to self-manage their craving symptoms.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65293&key=user_uploads/243817/95ead0b3-6059-4073-934b-5e984df16299)\n\n**⚙️ How it works**\n\nYou may be familiar with hypnosis and its urban-legendary ability to help people stop smoking. Well, clinical studies show that hypnotherapy can actually be [10 times more effective](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14768970/) than quitting without support and [more effective](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0965229913002100) than nicotine replacement therapy. And according to [neurobiological brain studies](https://academic.oup.com/cercor/article/27/8/4083/3056452?login=false), hypnotherapy activates areas of the [brain associated](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25365127/) with attention, motivation, and a sense of well-being.\n\nHypnosis isn't a therapy itself - it's a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility that makes therapeutic techniques like CBT and guided imagery more effective. Hypnotherapy is like meditation but focused on health outcomes\n\n**💙 Founders backstory**\n\nWe created Mindset Health to empower people to improve their health by unlocking the power of their mind. We’ve already helped 80,000 people manage their IBS with hypnotherapy with our app Nerva. And we’re really excited to help people finally quit smoking, many of whom are understandably anxious and depressed about a habit that has controlled their life for too long.\n\n**Our ask**\n\n1.

Frustrated allergy suffers come to us when they no longer want to deal with pills and sprays. We diagnose the patient’s unique allergy profile and create a personalized treatment plan to give the patient lifelong allergy relief. Specifically, Wyndly is increasing access to sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for allergy care. For our patients, we're combining the convenience of telehealth and direct-to-consumer care with an exceptional patient experience that never loses the context of care.\r\n\r\nWyndly represents an opportunity to change allergy care forever. With 60 million Americans suffering from allergies today, and with this number doubling over the coming years, there's simply an incredible need for the convenient care Wyndly provides. \r\n\r\nYou can read more about us in [Techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/12/wyndly-aims-to-bring-allergy-drops-to-the-masses/).\r\n\r\nThe Wyndly Model \r\n\r\nAt Wyndly, we believe that better connections lead to better care, and we’re committed to making both happen at every step of the patient journey. Our allergy practice allows our patients to work with expert providers to develop personalized treatment plans for long-term allergy relief using clinically proven therapies. From a patient’s initial consultation to their final treatment delivery, we want the Wyndly experience to be a breath of fresh air for allergy sufferers – truly effective allergy relief, simply and efficiently delivered.\r\n\r\nOnce we've conquered allergies, we're transforming the care model for every chronic condition. While transactional care for purchasing pills has flourished in telehealth, no one has gone after chronic care. Patients with chronic conditions are shuffled between providers, insurance, and more -- and they never feel heard. These patients deserve better, and we're going to give it to them. Wyndly is starting with allergies, but we'll expand into asthma, sleep apnea, and other conditions in the near future.\r\n\r\nOur values\r\n\r\n**Compassion**: We approach all our patients and partners with an open mind and a genuine desire to be of service.\r\n\r\n**Focus**: We do a few things very well, and are always clear about our boundaries and direction of travel.\r\n\r\n**Courage**: We embrace ambiguity and discomfort because we know that’s how we grow.\r\n\r\n**Progress**: We make something better every single day.\r\n\r\n*It boils down to empathy and forward momentum in everything we do.*\r\n\r\nThe team\r\n\r\nWyndly is proudly backed by Y Combinator and a leading group of angel investors and VCs.

It doesn't solve the underlying problem; it just tries to cover it up. \n\nAllergy immunotherapy is the future. Most people don't realize that allergies are now a **curable** disease. In the future, taking Claritin for allergies is going to seem like taking Tylenol for an ear infection. Why would you treat the symptoms when you could just cure the disease?\n\nOur home allergy therapy builds up your immune tolerance against your allergies. This fixes the root cause of your symptoms, lets you forget about the pills, and provides lifelong relief. This clinically-proven treatment is now available via telemedicine.\n\n* Do you have a pet allergy but want a puppy 🐕?\n* Do you buy Kleenex in bulk?\n* Are you sick of your child’s never-ending cold?\n* Are you tired of allergy shots?\n\nLet Wyndly change your life forever. Our doctors are able to see, test, and treat patients for their allergies across the nation. \n\nStart with our 5 minute [at-home allergy test](https://www.wyndly.com/products/at-home-allergy-test-kit), or use insurance [to see a doctor (in CO, CA, FL only, right now).](https://www.wyndly.com/pages/allergy-consult-with-insurance)\n\n## Why allergies are a big deal\n\n40 million allergy sufferers in the US treat their allergies like a chronic condition — they take multiple medications to manage their symptoms. Imagine medicine cabinets full of Zyrtec, Claritin, Singular, Flonase, and more — all taken regularly. Most sufferers don't realize they can free themselves from these medications and allergies.\n\nManan Shah, is a board-certified ENT and allergist who has fixed thousands of patients of their allergies. During the COVID-19 crisis, we started Wyndly because Manan realized patients loved curing their allergies entirely from home.\n\n## How Wyndly fixes allergies\n\nWyndly uses home allergy immunotherapy to build up your immune system naturally so you can throw away the pills and live allergy-free.\n\nWe made the immunotherapy process as convenient as possible for our patients. Here's what it looks like:\n\n* Our nationally-certified allergy test is taken at home. It only requires a single finger-prick — not dozens of needles like an in-office allergy test.\n* Using these test results, we mix you personalized allergy drops which are taken by mouth. We send them straight to your door.\n* You have unlimited access to our medical care team. Our free online visits can be done on video, phone, or secure chat. We're with you from your initial consult to the day that you're allergy-free.\n\n### What are allergy drops?\n\nAllergy drops, also known as oral allergy immunotherapy, are a scientifically proven way to reduce allergic reactions which cause your sneezing, stuffiness, and constant runny nose.

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.

As I transitioned from studying physics at Imperial College London to delving into tech, finance and startups, I encountered a personal struggle with skin issues (cystic acne) that persisted for over a decade. I had tried everything; from diets, to medications, to products to try and improve my skin, but had great trouble in identifying if what I was trying was actually working. Having turned to online social media skincare communities for support, I knew I wasn’t alone. So, this struggle, coupled with a genuine desire to help others navigate their skincare journeys with confidence, ignited the idea behind Clear; an app that helped people to track their skincare routine, skin progress, access a community of like-minded individuals on a similar journey, and get data-driven, unbiased product recommendations.The vision was not only to provide users with personalized skincare recommendations but also to fuel innovation in the industry, enabling brands to create more effective product formulations. My personal connection to the mission, being my own customer, fueled my decision to become a founder.

What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "The core problem Clear addresses stems from a lack of clarity and communication within the skincare landscape. Consumers find themselves grappling with uncertainty about which skincare products to use and whether these products are effective. Simultaneously, skincare brands face a challenge in understanding their consumers, hindering industry-wide innovation. Dermatologists, too, encounter difficulties in efficiently communicating with their patients.\\\\This problem is substantial because it permeates the entire skincare ecosystem. For consumers, the ambiguity around product efficacy can lead to frustration and wasted resources. Skincare brands, without a clear understanding of consumer behavior, struggle to innovate and tailor their products to meet genuine needs. Dermatologists, the experts in skincare, face inefficiencies in conveying information and prescribing effective routines.\\\\The decision to tackle this pervasive issue arose from a personal connection and a broader recognition of its widespread impact. I personally endured the challenges of skincare struggles, which fostered a deep empathy for others facing similar dilemmas. Recognizing the industry-wide ramifications of this problem, the decision to create Clear was driven by a passion for revolutionizing skincare journeys, providing clarity for consumers, empowering brands with actionable insights, and facilitating seamless communication between dermatologists and their patients.Clear's mobile app acts as a transformative solution by offering routine tracking and a dynamic social community. This platform enables users to objectively measure their skincare progress, connect with a supportive community, and receive data-driven product recommendations. For skincare brands, Clear becomes a conduit for real-time insights into consumer behavior and sentiment, leveraging product usage metrics and user-generated content. Moreover, Clear facilitates secure sharing of routine and progress data between users and medical professionals, allowing dermatologists to prescribe effective skincare routines seamlessly.In essence, Clear emerges as the bridge that resolves the communication gaps in the skincare industry, providing users with confidence in their skincare choices, brands with valuable insights, and dermatologists with efficient tools to enhance patient care in this $200B industry." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "Clear's overarching vision extends beyond being a solution for current skincare challenges. Our aim is to become synonymous with skincare, a pervasive force in a $200 billion market. The long-term vision for Clear envisions a comprehensive ecosystem that transcends conventional boundaries. From being a single source of truth for skincare recommendations and self-tracking to delving into teledermatology, operating an expansive e-commerce marketplace, introducing a rewards program, curating engaging skincare content, entering the skincare market, and fostering industry-wide innovation through data-driven insights – Clear aspires to redefine and elevate every facet of the skincare experience.As Clear achieves its long-term vision, the world of skincare will undergo a transformative shift. The pervasive uncertainty and inefficiencies plaguing the skincare industry will dissipate, replaced by a seamlessly integrated ecosystem that empowers consumers, brands, and dermatologists alike. Individuals navigating their skincare journeys will find clarity and confidence, supported by personalized recommendations and a supportive community. Skincare brands will experience heightened innovation and responsiveness, guided by real-time insights into consumer behavior.

We’re YC W21, and today, we’re launching something big: **Clear Premium**.\n\n### **💡 The Problem**\n\nSkincare is broken. People spend hundreds on products, but don’t know what’s working, what’s causing breakouts, or how to personalise their routine. Skin is complex, and most advice is vague, biased, or not designed for people of colour.\n\nAs someone who struggled with acne for years, I found myself wishing there was a way to _track_ my skin, get _honest_ recommendations, and see _real_ results over time.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=91922&key=user_uploads/543078/1890c5c9-36d4-4580-af64-7fdee16b3144)\n\n### **🧪 What We’ve Built**\n\n**Clear** is the app I wish I had when I was struggling.\n\nWith Clear, you can:\n\n* Log your routine + products\n* Take progress photos\n* Get ingredient breakdowns\n* Learn from a diverse, supportive skincare community\n\nAnd now, with **Clear Premium**, we’re giving people even more power:\n\n🔓 **Premium Features:**\n\n* Track unlimited progress photos\n* Smart routine analytics: see what’s really helping (or hurting) your skin\n* Compare products and ingredients side-by-side\n* Scan products for instant info\n* Export your routine and skin journal\n* More customisation, better insights, and no guesswork\n\n🎥 [Watch our premium launch video](https://youtu.be/8CzArSSg4ws?si=_VaCOIKZqzvai6jk)\n\n### **🛠️ Why We Built It**\n\nFor the past 3 years, we’ve grown Clear with very little marketing - just word-of-mouth from a passionate, underserved community. We’ve been used by 50K+ people across 100+ countries, featured on the App Store, and recently partnered with top dermatologists to help people get clinical guidance too.\n\nThis launch is a huge milestone for us. It’s our next chapter - one that gives our community more tools, more control, and a way to stop wasting time and money on trial and error.\n\n### **🎁 14-Day Free Trial**\n\nClear Premium is available now, and **every new member gets a 14-day free trial**. No strings attached. Just download the app and start exploring.\n\n📲 [Try Clear Premium now](https://getclearapp.com/premium)\n\n💌 Want to chat, collab or share feedback? Reach me at [ahana@getclearapp.com](https://mailto:ahana@getclearapp.com)\n\n---\n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\nIf you know someone who’s struggling with their skin, or just skincare-curious, send them Clear.

Likewise, with [little to no standard of care in dentistry](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/05/the-trouble-with-dentistry/586039/), we can only hope we’ve found an honest dentist who will focus on preventing, even reversing disease, not succumb to the perverse incentives of an industry optimized for ‘drilling, filling, and billing’.\n\n**The result…** 2 in 3 adults simply do not go to the dentist. A cycle of which leads to systemic oral health issues known to impact your overall health, confidence, and ultimately lead to costly (and painful) procedures we’d all rather avoid.\n\n### **Rinse makes it easy to get great mouth care 🙌**\n\nWe’re a technology enabled dental studio designed to make your routine mouth care easy, awesome, and way more effective!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67480&key=user_uploads/691376/e44970f8-c696-4c87-829a-0783691aec6d)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=67480&key=user_uploads/691376/51e5395c-3bb9-47ab-b0ad-934ef2e0f95b)\n\n### **Our Ask 🙏**\n\n1.

Last year we launched our mobile app as a one size fits all solution for tinnitus.\n\nWe've since spoken to hundreds of users and it's clear that they need a more personalised approach, with live support from a real person. So, we are thrilled to announce our new 1-1 therapy program.\n\n**_Tl;dr:_** _Oto teaches your brain to stop noticing your tinnitus using the latest scientifically proven techniques. Our personalised program combines 1-1 therapy from a world class audiologist with an award winning app._ [_Book a free consultation today._](https://calendly.com/otohealth/tinnitus-consultation-ed)\n\n### ❗**Why do we exist?**\n\nTinnitus or ringing in the ears affects 1 in 8 people, **and there’s no cure**. It impacts mood, concentration and sleep and in 40% of cases is hugely debilitating.\n\nGetting reliable help is not easy. People usually drift between ENT doctors or audiologists searching for effective treatment. Nearly all are told that they need to learn to live with it.\n\nHowever, it shouldn’t be like this. **Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been proven to be the most effective way to manage tinnitus.** Unfortunately, not many clinicians are aware of this, and in the US, CBT can only be delivered by a licensed therapist. Very few therapists are trained to deliver CBT for tinnitus specifically.\n\n[Hear from our lead therapist Anna Pugh why we built the program.](https://youtu.be/xkvfhHkc6pE)\n\n_Anna is a hearing therapist audiologist specialising in tinnitus therapy._\n\n# **💡 How does it work?**\n\nRight now if you have tinnitus, it probably makes you feel anxious, sad or angry. That’s normal.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69248&key=user_uploads/691438/430a79fa-381f-4a1d-9a4c-51b8fca11131)\n\nCBT changes that emotional reaction so that you stop perceiving the tinnitus to be a threat. Two things then happen:\n\n✔️ You stop noticing your tinnitus all the time.\n\n✔️ If you do notice it, it doesn’t make you feel bad.\n\n**What’s included?**\n\nWe'll create a tailored 3-month tinnitus program for you that includes:\n\n* 🖥️ **Online 1-1 Therapy:** 6 therapy sessions with a world class audiologist.\n* 📱 **Toolkit App**: access our digital program anytime, anywhere, and for as long as you need.\n* 🙋 **Instant Support**: get answers to your questions and access to our team with your own personal guide.\n\n### **🙏🏻 Our Ask**\n\n* **Get in touch** - If you struggle with tinnitus, or know someone that does, we’d love to speak.

Clara started as an AI skin analysis product, and today it has evolved into a **full-stack AI assistant for dermatology**; combining analysis, guidance, product discovery, routine building, and prescription support in one experience.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90878&key=user_uploads/480320/ca033475-82fe-42d1-a02f-c81449db06f5)\n\n## 🤕 The Problem\n\n**The global challenge:** 3 billion people face skin issues, yet 90% can't access dermatologists due to cost and availability barriers.\n\nSkin and hair care decisions are still fragmented. Users jump between social media advice, search results, product catalogs, prescriptions they don’t fully understand, and doctor visits that are too expensive or too hard to access regularly.\n\n**India's crisis:**\n\n* 1 [dermatologist](https://clinikally.com/products/video-consult-with-a-skin-hair-specialist?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=290525+yc_launch_post) per 100,000 people\n* Consultations often require long journeys + weeks of waiting + month's skincare budget in fees\n* 70% of Indians live with untreated chronic skin concerns\n\nEven when people know they need help, they usually don’t know where to begin: What is this concern? Which products are right for me? How do I build a routine? What does my prescription actually do? **Clara is built for that exact gap.**\n\n## 💡 Our Solution\n\nClara is your **AI assistant for skin and hair health**. You can start with a face or hair analysis, ask Clara questions in chat, get tailored routines, receive product recommendations, and even upload a prescription to understand what it means and which products match it.\n\nInstead of giving users a static report and leaving them there, Clara helps them move all the way from confusion to clarity to action. That makes Clara useful not just once, but every time someone has a skincare or haircare decision to make.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90878&key=user_uploads/480320/9c355c2d-b7dd-4382-a40e-9f99ee36597d)\n\n**What Clara can do:**\n\n* Analyze face and hair concerns with AI-powered flows.\n* Recommend personalized routines based on user concerns.\n* Suggest relevant products with dermatology-backed guidance.\n* Explain prescriptions and match them to useful products.\n* Answer ongoing skin and hair questions in a conversational interface\n\n## 💡 How Clara Works\n\n1. Start with your concern. Scan your face, choose hair/scalp analysis, upload a prescription, or just ask a question in chat.\n2. Clara understands the context and gives you structured guidance instead of generic internet advice.\n3. You get personalized recommendations across routines, products, and next steps.\n4. When needed, Clara can work as the intelligent layer connecting users to Clinikally’s broader dermatology ecosystem.\n\n## **Why this matters**\n\nMost skincare tools do one thing well: analysis, product discovery, or consultation intake. Clara is designed to unify those moments into one assistant experience. The result is a product that feels less like a calculator and more like an always-available dermatologist copilot.\n\nFor users, that means faster decisions and better clarity. For us, it means Clara can become the highest-intent entry point into personalized dermatology journeys across Clinikally.\n\n## **Try Clara**\n\nYou can now use Clara to:\n\n* Analyze your skin or hair\n* Ask dermatology questions\n* Build a customized routine\n* Get product suggestions\n* Upload a prescription for instant guidance\n\n**⭐⭐ Try Clara here:** [clara.clinikally.com](https://clara.clinikally.com) **⭐⭐**\\\n**Open the assistant directly:** [clara.clinikally.com/chat](https://clara.clinikally.com/chat)\n\n**More exciting features are coming**: Scalp scanning and cross-platform mobile apps for our full-stack e-pharmacy and [dermatologist consult](https://clinikally.com/products/video-consult-with-a-skin-hair-specialist?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=290525+yc_launch_post) platform launching later this year.

Chat with me about #pregnancyresearch #studyinclusivity #trialdesign #bias\n\n# What is diabetes in pregnancy and why does it matter? 🧐\n\nRoughly [1 in 6 births](https://www.idf.org/our-activities/care-prevention/gdm) are affected by some sort of hyperglycemia - or high blood sugar - in pregnancy, with the average annual economic burden around [$6k per case](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30940641/). Further, [50% of women](https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/gestational.html) with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) will go on to develop type II diabetes, which costs 1 in 7 U.S. healthcare dollars today.\n\nWe started working on this after our cofounder, Mika, developed GDM in pregnancy and was told her son was in the 99th percentile growth range and would likely need a C-section to be delivered. Luckily, she was able to manage her GDM through diligent tracking, trigger identification and diet changes, and now we are bringing this knowledge to help millions of other women who experience the same anxiety, panic and isolation each year.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=64437&key=user_uploads/972065/ede51043-7ada-46cf-8816-74861dcc7e4a)\n\nShort-term risks of GDM include a 1.5x greater likelihood of requiring an emergency C-section, and a 1.4x greater likelihood of preterm birth. For babies of mothers with GDM, there is an increased risk of cardiac defects, and lifelong metabolic abnormalities.\n\nDiabetes during pregnancy has also increased significantly in recent years. [Recent studies](https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/maternalinfanthealth/diabetes-during-pregnancy.htm) found that from 2000 to 2010, **the percentage of pregnant women with gestational diabetes increased 56%** while the percentage of women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes before pregnancy increased 37%. Experts are alarmed by the [continued increase](https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/04/08/gestational-diabetes-worrisome-increase-pregnancy/) and disproportionate effect on racial and ethnic minorities.\n\n# **Our ask 🙏**\n\n* **Download our** [**app**](https://malama.app.link/ls0jrjcQjrb) (_bonus_: share your feedback with us at [founders@heymalama.com](mailto:founders@heymalama.com))\n* **Share this post!** Please help spread the word, as you never know who it may help (_many women are not open about a sensitive diagnosis and are suffering in silence_)\n* Connect us with **Providers** (OBs and MFMs, Nutritionists, Certified Diabetes Experts), **Patients**, and **Payers** (particularly innovative Medicaid payers)\\*\n\n _\\* quick blurb to copy & paste:_ A team of Stanford students and researchers recently released an [app](https://malama.app.link/ls0jrjcQjrb) to reduce administrative burden and improve management of diabetes during pregnancy.

Reliance on archaic methods is still the norm: typically, you or your provider need to call the facilities where you’ve previously received treatment (assuming you remember them all), just to have them send your records via fax (yep, fax). This can take weeks, only then to have a provider sift through hundreds of pages of unstructured docs, just to figure out basic things like your active medication list, what conditions you may have, latest lab results, etc. This not only delays care—it can cause improper treatment, since the medical history is critical for informing treatment decisions.\n\n### **One platform for every workflow**\n\nMetriport manages dozens of connections across all national HIEs and QHINs, state and regional HIEs, ADT networks, pharmacies, labs, and EHRs.

Knowtex is built to empower healthcare clinics and systems, turning real-time doctor-patient conversations into accurate ICD-10, CPT, and HCC codes. Our ambient, AI-driven billing solution helps clinicians avoid leaving revenue on the table—all while keeping them focused on patient care, not paperwork.\n\nMedical coding is complex, and the rules and codes are constantly changing. Missed or inaccurate coding can dramatically impact a health system’s bottom line. That’s where Knowtex comes in. **Knowtex is a clinician’s partner in revenue:** capturing the full range of codes a visit is eligible for and keeping your documentation up-to-date with the latest standards. The result is an optimized, accurate billing workflow that catches every code, every time.\n\n**Unlike other solutions that simply analyze documentation to generate codes, we’ve spent the last two years developing Knowtex into a deeply integrated, personalized coding model based on the visit conversation that is tailored to clinicians and organizations. We create custom models trained on each clinic’s historic coding data so Knowtex tailors its suggestions to the unique needs of every clinician. This level of personalization allows Knowtex not only to generate accurate codes but also to prescriptively suggest coding updates that are finely tuned to the specific workflows and nuances of the practice.** \n\nKnowtex is a truly adaptive partner in coding at the point of care. It captures information correctly upfront and continuously improves and aligns with each clinic’s standards for maximized revenue and streamlined workflows.\n\n## Customer Results\n\nOne health system integrated Knowtex and observed significant improvement in revenue retention. With Knowtex identifying and correcting undercoded visits, they successfully capture approximately **$92,800 per month** in previously lost revenue.\n\nOne of our oncology practices with 50+ providers saw substantial improvement in billing outcomes with Knowtex. Before implementing Knowtex, their daily billing average was $7,101.60. Following integration, the mean daily billing rose to $7,893.70, an increase of almost **$800/provider/day**.\n\n## Features\n\n**🩺 Streamlined intelligent Code Selection**\n\nOur interface is designed for simplicity and speed and makes it easy for clinicians to confirm suggested codes instantly. As a clinician speaks with a patient, Knowtex listens, prompting relevant codes based on the conversation. For E&M codes, it analyzes encounter elements like time, medical decision-making complexity, risk, and data, guiding clinicians to the correct documentation with zero interruptions.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcd1urRt3iovIjG_hdQrkbwJ0U0xMAQcrWNBMJvXj06EkCgVa7VeHot38yjpzGpMDDBPR0lRG_9jLd5bd2tIp2dB-GRbjIs8t723zatJ3OfZ3R8oPR2QKz7NPr7Jh59qYpFC11K?key=PrSNha-uknkZVns6FaLUE8yc)\n\nIn addition to live prompting, Knowtex provides targeted suggestions to help clinicians optimize coding accuracy. When assessing complexity, risk, or data documentation, Knowtex offers text snippets to update E&M codes based on the conversation info and historic data. These snippets guide providers by suggesting personalized updates that increase documentation complexity where applicable.\n\nFor example, with MDM:\n\n\\- Complexity: Knowtex can prompt providers to consider documenting any updates on the patient’s status under treatment with a pre-created snippet like “Patient is improving on current chemotherapy treatment but not yet at goal.”\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcB9XivMlmiJrkMbi5KzqYfO-Lpw7SwG7zRg_xyeF8bzfkchHb1PmC2GLx7I3smiTrzp-jAdSVUO-AG9c4haq4U_iKAHBESxngh4YyXel7RnFHHk_l9k-_ACkd-i8RpvCIvjJqOow?key=PrSNha-uknkZVns6FaLUE8yc)\n\n\\- Risk: Knowtex may suggest inserting the text snippet, “reviewed liver function tests and discussed present chemotherapy effects with the patient,” to increase the documented level of decision-making complexity.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeXpD_K-hlG10Z0vGGn19NSs-AZsiDcePhUU0X70VZm0z8pwM2J7BovTaTPqum80I2l549WFgkPMTw8SO4z0XoogcljVNKSkbWNaXxA7VqsUfwin2gDF0jvxM-N0BkZB9JRLqalHw?key=PrSNha-uknkZVns6FaLUE8yc)\n\n\\- Data: If the clinician reviewed imaging during the conversation, Knowtex will identify this and suggest a clearer way of documenting it: “CT images were **personally reviewed and interpreted**.”\n\nThese real-time, customized tips help clinicians capture all relevant information to substantiate the appropriate billing codes.\\\n\\\n**🔍 Accurate & Personalized Diagnosis Capture and Search**\n\nImagine a clinician is treating anemia. Most physicians would code the patient with D50.9 (Iron deficiency anemia, unspecified). While this can be accepted by insurance and reimbursed, there can be more precise codes that would be a better choice based on the patient’s symptomatology and history. \n\nKnowtex can capture and synthesize conversation and EHR data in real time as the clinician talks through symptoms and treatment with the patient to suggest precise ICD-10 codes like D63.1 (Anemia in chronic kidney disease). \n\nWe also provide intelligent search functionality for clinicians that surfaces the best and most detailed ICD-10 code based on the conversation detail and EHR information.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdYFAYWrvmJgndLiffAJCyQFPnu7fMM796mKPIZQKlQWSrlLdAD3Xoco727I2aEvOA82tfjAHm8-NwP-QKH9Ja9DjI0BSTH6xGxJCd6IoFsCnt-BzBsxaEfwAbxkEgFjEHBhhKn?key=PrSNha-uknkZVns6FaLUE8yc)\n\nKnowtex makes sure every detail is captured without breaking focus for clinicians, especially in complex specialties like hematology and oncology. It’s a seamless experience that helps practices keep up with fast-evolving coding standards and prevent revenue leakage.\n\n**📊 Complimentary Financial Gap Analysis**\n\n**We’re offering a free financial gap analysis to the first 10 new clinicians/organizations that sign up.** Knowtex will deeply analyze your last 3 months of billing data and pinpoint specific opportunities where Knowtex can capture missed revenue through optimized documentation and code selection. \n\nUsers will also get **free** **full** access to our state of the art, customizable, ambient scribing solution for those three months. \n\nContact [sales@knowtex.ai](mailto:sales@knowtex.ai) to learn more.\n\nThank you to our engineers Muhammad Khalifa, Andrea Green, and Azeem Ghumman for their work pioneering ambient billing at Knowtex.", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MFY-knowtex-ambient-billing-for-clinicians", "votes": 40, "created_at": "2024-11-13T16:48:55.533Z" }, { "id": 65893, "title": "Knowtex: Creating Visit Notes from Doctor-Patient Conversations", "tagline": "Making doctors 2x more efficient with automating note-taking & charge capture", "body": "👋 We’re [Jocelyn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jocelynkang/) and [Caroline](https://www.linkedin.com/in/czhang21/), the co-founders of [Knowtex](https://www.knowtex.ai/)!\n\n**tldr;** Knowtex automatically creates visit notes with billing codes from doctor-patient conversations.

We’re the only medical scribes in the world with AI/ML backgrounds,** making us uniquely positioned to build this solution for doctors.\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\nWe’re looking to partner with\n\n* private clinics that have 8+ doctors in any specialty\n* digital health companies that offer healthcare provider services (ex. hybrid and virtual care, telemedicine platforms)\n* private equity companies with medical roll-ups\n\nHere’s a quick blurb you can send them about us:\n\n_Knowtex reduces physician documentation burden and increases coding efficiency and accuracy by automatically creating visit notes with billing codes from doctor-patient conversations. Our software captures natural conversation, identifies relevant medical information, and generates a pre-filled, structured note with ICD-10 and CPT codes for physician sign-off._\n\n_Founders Caroline and Jocelyn are Stanford CS grads who specialized in AI and previously worked as medical scribes. We're looking to speak to healthcare organizations to understand more about their doctors’ documentation workflows and coding requirements, and explore partnership opportunities with our product. You can reach us at_ [_founders@knowtex.ai_](mailto:founders@knowtex.ai)_._\n\nThank you!\n\n\\- Jocelyn and Caroline\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65893&key=user_uploads/556751/d7306386-438d-4c47-ba29-4b230bbc3c29)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/H8n-knowtex-creating-visit-notes-from-doctor-patient-conversations", "votes": 215, "created_at": "2022-09-07T07:02:20.821Z" } ] }, { "id": 27766, "name": "Glass Health", "slug": "glass-health", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/a4bfc350809e1c4f0b4e0ccc1e6449d3a68998b6.png", "website": "https://glass.health", "all_locations": "", "long_description": "We empower clinicians with our AI platform for developing differential diagnoses and drafting clinical plans.", "one_liner": "AI-Powered Clinical Decision Support & Ambient Scribing", "team_size": 7, "industry": "Healthcare", "subindustry": "Healthcare -> Healthcare IT", "launched_at": 1671385379, "tags": [ "SaaS", "Health Tech", "Digital Health", "Healthcare", "AI" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2023", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Healthcare", "Healthcare IT" ], "regions": [ "Unspecified" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": null, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/glass-health", "api": "https://devasheeshg.github.io/yc-api/batches/winter-2023/glass-health.json", "year_founded": 2021, "city": null, "country": null, "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/glass-health-inc/", "x_url": "https://twitter.com/glasshealthhq", "fb_url": null, "cb_url": null, "github_url": null, "logo_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/a4bfc350809e1c4f0b4e0ccc1e6449d3a68998b6.png", "app_video_url": null, "dday_video_url": null, "company_photos": [], "primary_partner": null, "founders": [ { "user_id": 76099, "full_name": "Dereck Paul", "title": "Founder/CEO", "founder_bio": "Dereck Paul, MD is a cofounder and the CEO of Glass Health.

We also experienced this problem first-hand in the clinical environment. Our friends in medicine had phones and email accounts full of disorganized journal articles, tweets, clinical images, lecture slides. They could not easily reference these important digital assets when needed to enhance their care of patients.\n\n**🩺 SOLUTION**\n\nGlass is a medical knowledge management platform, aka “Notion for doctors.” Our platform is tailored to how clinicians capture, organize, store, and retrieve medical knowledge.\n\nWe’ve created medicine-specific knowledge management features, including:\n\n* Schemas, Scripts, and Cases: store content in special page templates tailored to common medical knowledge constructs.\n* Pearls: capture snippets of clinical knowledge encountered during patient care and later organize them in your notebook.\n* Linking and Visualizations: easily backlink pages and later view their relationships with medicine-specific visualizations.\n* Community Library: view and save pages published by others in the Glass Health Community.\n* Glass AI: draft differential diagnoses and clinical plans using generative AI. ([Glass AI Demo](https://glass.health/ai))\n* Team Collaboration (coming soon): track key information about patients in a HIPAA-compliant team collaboration environment.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=68710&key=user_uploads/76099/ba37b973-9395-4320-b3dd-9771299ce305)\n\nThese features help clinicians bring all medical knowledge assets they encounter throughout their careers into one place. This helps them achieve clinical mastery faster and leverage their ever-growing digital external brains to better care for patients.\n\n**📖 FOUNDER BACKGROUNDS**\n\n[Dereck Paul, MD](https://twitter.com/dereckwpaul) was a resident physician in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and a medical student at the UCSF School of Medicine.\n\n[Graham Ramsey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/graham-ramsey/) interned at Watsi (YC W13) and designed and built the EHR at the telemedicine company PlushCare.

It includes guided exercise, breathing techniques, and a full education program which teaches people to manage their lung condition.\n\nPR has strong clinical evidence: it can improve clinical outcomes, reduce hospital bed-days by 62%, save payers between $6-10k for every patient, and help patients feel better.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69058&key=user_uploads/29150/5bfdd176-ce16-4965-a9e6-82a8a5d7e4e9)\n\nThis life changing therapy has been around for decades, but tragically only 3% of eligible patients are getting it. Why? Access.\n\nOften, people with COPD or other lung disease find it challenging to walk up a flight of stairs. 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.

They can take actions: texting/calling you, charging you money, blocking your iOS/Android apps, blocking websites on your Mac, texting friends if you’ve fallen off the wagon.\n\nOverlord has been in a closed beta for about a year, and has had hundreds of thousands of messages sent to it by users.

Ensure he’s not relapsed”.”\n* **Undistracted on Mac:** “Lock me in from 9-5 each day on my Mac. Annoy me if I go on anything unrelated to work, and block if I go on any rabbit holes. Work is anything coding related.”\n* **Not skipping cardio:** “When I enter the gym, make sure I send a photo of 10 mins cardio, or charge me $5\".”\n* **My personal screen block:** “Block Instagram at all times, allowing me 1 min an hour, 15 mins if I send a photo of a meal, and unblock on Friday/Saturday nights from 7pm-4am. Charge me $50 if I disable Screen Time Permissions.”\n* **Mac productivity to co-founder:** “Track my Mac. Send a text to my co-founder of my total productive time each day at 11pm.”\n* **Showering after gym:** “When i get home from the gym, make sure I send a selfie if my hair wet within 30 mins or lose $5”\n\n**_No processed food:_** “Each time I spend money at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, make sure I send a receipt (with the exact amount spent to ensure I’m not cheating) and it must not have anything processed on it. Also no purchases from any dollar pizza store. If I do, charge me $50.”\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Cr1A0j6LBec\n\n**_Morning routine w/ screen blocking + charging:_**\\_ “Call me to wake me up at 7am, and block my apps at this point. I must send a photo of my fridge at 7:05, a video brushing teeth by 7:10, a photo of a coffee by 7:20, and a photo outside by 7:30 (unblock my phone at this point).

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.

He’s one of a handful of people in this market who’s experienced firsthand the pain caused by this problem, and the value of solving it. Lucas holds an MSc in Computer Science from the University of London. He’s designed and built systems to integrate with 100+ employers, including integrations with Evernorth and a Fortune 10 customer. At Quit Genius, he also assumed the role of Chief Information Security Officer, leading the company through SOC-2 compliance audits, achieving HITRUST certification, and attended the Y Combinator program in 2018–helping secure over $80M investment funding from seed to Series-B. It was there he met his co-founder, and their aligned passion for healthcare and technology, combined with their deep knowledge of inherent pain points, sparked the idea that became Sohar Health.DR. ASHISH (ASH) MANDAVIAMedical Doctor & Digital Health InnovatorA former National Healthcare System doctor in the UK, Ash was inspired to jump into the world of startups seven years ago, initially as a product manager, using his clinical knowledge to support a team of engineers to create and build a piece of triage software for ERs in the UK. He moved on to a medical education technology company as employee one and helped scale the organization as product and services director. There, he found a love for the commercial side and moved into business development.This led Ash to taking on the role as EMEA Commercial Director of Quit Genius (YC W18), where he led a team to deliver commercial B2B sales, client success, and partnerships with large employers, private healthcare insurers, and public health systems. It was there he discovered inherent pain points related to integrating with these types of payers, slowing access for people getting the help they need.Most recently, Ash was a strategic consultant  at Simon Kucher and Partners, focusing on market access and reimbursement for Digital Health solutions across the UK, Europe, and the US." }, { "question": "How did you decide to apply to Y Combinator? What was your experience applying, going through the batch, and fundraising at demo day?", "answer": "The ethos and ambition towards growth and becoming a $1b+ company at Quit Genius was a strong motivator to take Sohar Health through the YC accelerator program. The company has accelerated by 12 months in a 10 week period and this is mainly due to the strong guidance from our group partners and accountability that we have shown to our peers and colleagues. We have developed significant traction among customers and our product is loved by our customers. YC has pushed us to become the most accurate eligibility verification tool in the behavioral health market and we now run upwards of 60,000 eligibility checks per month. The fundraising process has moved faster than our initial expectations and we feel that the feedback and support given prior to the raise has allowed us to enter those conversations with more confidence and purpose. " }, { "question": "How have you kept in touch with the YC community and continued to use YC resources & programs since the batch ended?", "answer": "From in-person events across the bay area to the founder matching program, we have managed to embed ourselves in the YC community and learn from this amazing network of founders. As we complete our Seed round, we hope to follow the guidance laid out in the post-batch manual and Series A fundraising guide to continue our growth trajectory and our journey towards becoming a unicorn in the health tech space." }, { "question": "What's the history of your company from getting started until the present day? What were the big inflection points?", "answer": "Lucas and I caught up at the start of 2023 when he had exited Quit Genius (YC W18) and I was on paternity leave from my strategy consulting role. We had discussed this burning platform issue on several occasion and recognized that we were in a unique position to solve it. We initially focused on employer eligibility verification for digital health companies, but quickly became aware, through customer discovery, of an even greater challenge to tackle in Real Time Eligibility (RTE) and Coverage of Benefits (COB) determination in the behavioral health space. This was an inflection point and gave us the confidence to pursue a pre-seed round, led by Concept Ventures and allowed us to build our eligibility verification tool and automated AI coding feature. We gained further proof points of the value of our product with strong initial customer traction, booking $118K ARR in the past two months." }, { "question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?", "answer": "One of the biggest reasons behavioral health companies can’t grow faster is that 11% of every patient get denied for insurance reimbursement which directly hits revenue, employee cost and marketing cost. A large proportion of these claims denials are related to eligibility inaccuracies. With our 99% accurate eligibility checker, we reduce these denials to 2%.To determine a patient’s eligibility for a behavioral health service, you could use an existing electronic checker or amass a manual administrative team. Standard automated eligibility checks in the market can only achieve a 50 - 60% accuracy level for mental and behavioral health. The reason these vendors don’t work is that they do not take account of payer carve outs - when insurance companies carve out behavioral health coverage to third party insurers.With our deep understanding of the complex integrations within the payer ecosystem, we can get our automated accuracy check up to 99% and essentially significantly reduce the chance that a patient’s claim will be denied by their insurer." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?", "answer": "We believe in patients accessing healthcare without limits.What if providers were free from the barriers & burdens that waste money and time, and instead could focus on the things that help patients regain and maintain their health?

Enter Sohar Health. Our API-based platform streamlines insurance eligibility verification and offers AI-powered Verification of Benefits (VoB) and insurance discovery, automating manual workflows, increasing patient intake, and generating more revenue. Experience the power of seamless integration and unleash the full potential of your behavioral health company with Sohar Health.\n\n### **🤯 The problem**\n\nImproving front end RCM (revenue cycle management) accuracy is crucial as 85% of related-denied claims (worth $40 billion) are preventable. However, determining the eligibility, network status, and pricing transparency for patients is a challenge due to complex relationships between payers and the limited data exchange standards in healthcare IT ecosystem. These exchanges are costly, time-consuming, and divert engineering resources, hindering product development. Delaying or skipping integrations leads to revenue loss and increased manual efforts for RCM operations teams, creating a significant barrier for behavioral health companies in a rapidly growing industry, valued at $280 billion in 2020.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=72772&key=user_uploads/1376962/008d7770-25e8-44a6-9f88-883c5470b9c1)\n\n### **🧠 The Solution**\n\nSimilar to Stripe (YC09) and Plaid, Sohar Health empowers developers by providing direct integrations to payers. Our API-based platform offers three key features: targeted insurance eligibility determination, accurate network status, and AI-powered Verification of Benefits (VoB). By leveraging our services, behavioral health providers can:\n\n1. Unlock up to 25% additional revenue through improved front end RCM accuracy\n2. Find more eligible patient and minimize churn or attrition \n3. Halve the time spent on manual operations by intake or RCM teams\n\n### **👋 Our Backstory**\n\nAt Pelago (formerly, Quit Genius W18), the leading digital clinic for substance addictions, Ash and Lucas joined forces.

We combine computer-vision based care programs with expert physical therapists to deliver personalized care at scale. For providers, our platform automates patient acquisition, documentation and billing so they earn **3x more** than at a big clinic.\n\n**If you are in CA, **[**sign up for an appointment today**](https://beta.shasta.health/patient/onboarding)**.**\n\n### The Problem\n\nWe’ve talked to hundreds of PTs over the last few months who are burned out and looking to leave their profession. 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. You meet with your physical therapist in an hour-long 1:1 or group session. The PT already knows your history and evaluates you over video using our computer-vision based tools. They also teach you exercises to relieve the pain.\n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73766&key=user_uploads/1247241/a5af27c5-eb8c-4d20-82a1-8f52ae82d6f4)\n\n3. After the appointment, we generate a personalized care plan based on the provider’s notes. We track your progress daily and provide real-time feedback using computer-vision during the exercises\n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73766&key=user_uploads/896902/f83d300d-8a20-43b5-84d7-df41edbeeb93)\n\n\n# \n\n### Who are we?\n\nWe’ve been friends and working together for over a decade - starting with a middle school robotics team in Pransu’s garage in Cupertino. 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?

We are an ML platform that integrates into the EHR to flag high-risk patients as early as their 1st visit, so doctors can intervene months before delivery.\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\nOver 80% of cases of maternal mortality are preventable with earlier intervention (CDC). Risk assessments in the status quo have low high-risk detection rates, which hurt a doctor’s ability to administer preventative care and ensure safe, healthy deliveries. \n\n**Doctors currently miss more than 50% of patients who have life-threatening complications and wait until labor to start doing manual risk assessments, at which point it's too late.**\n\nEach of these complications cost providers between $3K-15K per case and can cost payors up to $75k per case. \n\n**These major pregnancy complications cost insurers >$55B annually**!\n\n**📚Quick Quiz**: Hemorrhage (excessive bleeding) is the #1 killer of moms during labor. What percent of all moms that hemorrhage do you think doctors currently identify as high risk?\n\n**✔️Answer**: 22%. Yep, in 2023, doctors have to manually tabulate a risk assessment when patients are on the delivery bed and still fail to classify >75% of hemorrhage cases as high risk. Elythea catches 2x-3x more hemorrhaging patients as early as the first visit, evolving over the course of a pregnancy with patient visits.\n\n### **🌟 Our Solution**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74096&key=user_uploads/483063/6201ae97-898f-4d97-a435-839e7178f7a1)\n\nEarlier intervention and improved clinical preparation have been shown to **prevent nearly two-thirds of severe maternal complications**. Elythea's ML models flag high-risk patients as soon as the first visit and evolve over the course of a pregnancy.\n\n**We automatically analyze relevant demographic and clinical risk factors, flag high-risk patients, and provide evidence-based interventions, giving doctors weeks to months in advance to intervene and prevent complications from ever happening**.\n\nWe predict risk for conditions like postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia/eclampsia, emergency C-section, preterm labor, and more.\n\nWe have completed prospective international clinical studies across USA, Cameroon, and Nigeria demonstrating that our models have better performance than current gold-standard clinical tools. **Our global clinical studies have shown that we can catch 2-3x more moms with complications than current clinical risk assessments >10x sooner.**\n\n### **📖 The Backstory**\n\nReetam was on the medical school track to be a high-risk obstetrician and read all the standard OBGYN medical textbooks. He came across this problem after interviewing 80+ obstetric providers, where the vast majority pointed him toward the direction of postpartum hemorrhage and hypertensive complications. \n\n**Reetam** previously founded Junior Medical Academy, a global medical education nonprofit accessible to students across 30+ countries, and Survivor Central, a national platform matching survivors of sexual assault/domestic violence with medical/legal/financial resources. He has 1st authored >15 accepted medical publications, including in multiple Nature Journals.

", "body": "Hey everyone - [Mohamed Khalifa](https://linkedin.com/in/mohamed-taha-khalifa) and [Adam Skrocki](https://linkedin.com/in/adamskrocki) here!☀️\n\n_TL;DR: We’re building the AI copilot for radiologists. While reading images, we allow radiologists to dictate what they see, and _[_RadMate AI_](https://www.radmate.ai/)_ will generate and proofread reports for them._\n\n# The problem\n\nRadiologists spend most of their day reading patient images and dictating reports based on the images. As patient access to imaging continues to rise, radiologists face escalating pressure to produce detailed reports quickly.\n\nHowever, the software they use hasn’t changed in over a decade, so radiologists are no longer well-equipped to meet rising demand.\n\n1. Radiologists dictate over 30% more words than they need to, which can lead to fewer reports, [burnout](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10618688/#:\\~:text=It%20was%20reported%20that%2054,exhibit%20burnout%20symptoms%20%5B23%5D), and lower quality reporting.\n2. Over [20% of radiology reports](https://www.gehealthcare.com/insights/article/improving-accuracy-in-radiology-images-and-reports#:\\~:text=Inaccurate%20diagnostic%20radiology%20results%20can,contain%20some%20sort%20of%20error) have errors in them. Which can lead to treatment delays, poor outcomes, higher healthcare costs, lost revenue, and operational inefficiencies.\n\n# Our solution\n\nLLMs provide an opportunity to revamp the way radiologists report. We’ve created a platform with an AI copilot that decreases stress on radiologists and increases accuracy by:\n\n1. Minimizing the words radiologists have to say.\n2. Reducing the number of clicks required for report generation.\n3. Proofreading reports to reduce errors.\n\n# The founding team\n\nMohamed and Adam are technical co-founders who met while studying Computer Science at Cornell University. Before starting RadMate AI to solve the problems his dad faced as a radiologist, Adam worked at Palantir on the initial launch of Palantir’s Al Platform. Mohamed has experience at AWS, where his goal was to help enterprises innovate on the cloud, and PathAl, where he built software to improve pathology. We’re excited to take our engineering expertise and our personal ties to healthcare to address the issues radiologists face today.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78039&key=user_uploads/1246346/01e3c7a0-b2c8-4457-bb2a-8ba10df25751)\n\n# Our ask 🙏\n\nIf you're a radiologist or know of any, we'd love to connect at [founders@radmate.ai](mailto:founders@radmate.ai)!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/KIh-radmate-ai-the-ai-copilot-for-radiologists", "votes": 130, "created_at": "2024-01-31T20:51:53.040Z" } ] }, { "id": 29244, "name": "Sonia", "slug": "sonia", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/4a4cf433f7d9018c448c064e68eae45b3ad31cde.png", "website": "https://soniahealth.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "We're on a mission to build safe, voice-based AI that makes high quality mental health support accessible to anyone.

We help therapists focus on what they do best—providing compassionate, personalized care—by taking care of the administrative tasks that often lead to burnout. Through targeted marketing and partnerships with care organizations like rehab centers, we connect SLPs with individuals who need their expertise. Our AI-enabled back-office streamlines insurance processing, scheduling, and documentation, reducing non-therapy overhead. We're proud to be live in 10 states with over 35 dedicated therapists and are in-network with leading insurance providers, making it easier for clients to receive the support they need.\n\n## **The Problem**\n\nAccess to quality speech therapy is more challenging than ever. Many individuals, from children experiencing learning setbacks due to COVID-19 disruptions to seniors facing age-related speech issues, are struggling to get the support they need. Demand is soaring, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 21% growth in employment for SLPs from 2021 to 2031. However, the number of practicing therapists isn't growing quickly enough to meet this need, leading to long wait times and underserved communities.\n\nAt the same time, many dedicated SLPs are facing burnout from overwhelming administrative tasks like insurance paperwork, scheduling, and documentation, coupled with lower pay in traditional settings. This not only affects their well-being but also worsens the shortage, as some may reduce their workload or leave the profession entirely. According to a survey by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 28% of SLPs are interested in private practice to gain more control over their work and income. There is an urgent need for a compassionate solution that supports both those seeking therapy and the professionals providing it.\n\n## **The Solution**\n\nVerse Therapy is bridging this gap by empowering speech-language pathologists to launch and grow their own independent practices with ease. We enable therapists to focus on delivering empathetic, high-quality care by handling the administrative burdens that often lead to burnout. Through our targeted marketing and partnerships with care organizations like rehab centers, schools, and medical facilities, we connect SLPs with individuals who need their specialized support.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=84650&key=user_uploads/771214/037b088b-ff27-474d-8928-e51e95ec154d)\n\nOur AI-enabled back office simplifies insurance processing, scheduling, and documentation, allowing therapists to spend more time with their clients and less on paperwork. By alleviating these stresses, we enhance the well-being of our therapists and help retain more professionals in the field, ultimately expanding access to speech therapy services.\n\nWe're proud to be live in 10 states with over 35 dedicated therapists and to be in-network with leading insurance providers. Together, we're making quality speech therapy more accessible and transforming lives through improved communication.\n\n## **Asks**\n\nWe're eager to expand our partnerships with organizations seeking dedicated speech-language pathologists in California, Florida, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Connecticut, Arizona, Virginia, and Colorado. If you have connections with early intervention programs, rehab centers, children's hospitals, or similar organizations in these states, we'd greatly appreciate an introduction. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need our support.\n\nAlso, if you or someone you know is looking for speech therapy services in any of these states, please visit us at [versetherapy.com](https://www.versetherapy.com/) to book an appointment.

However, healthcare providers are not adequately equipped to manage the substantial influx of unstructured data resulting from this enhanced interoperability.\n\nThe average patient record is now the equivalent of half the size of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet,' and providers often see more than 20 patients per day. For each patient, these providers find themselves contacting other organizations to obtain the patient’s complete history. Then, they must sift through numerous pages of raw PDFs to locate critical, relevant information — similar to finding a needle in a haystack. This process creates an enormous cognitive burden, leading to burnout, missed revenue opportunities, and, most critically, uninformed care.\n\n# [**Hona**](https://www.hona.ai) is transforming the complexity of healthcare data into something radically simple\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=77965&key=user_uploads/771214/1541c2f1-a4d9-42f3-ba7b-7ee0cef242b9)\n\nHona integrates with electronic health record systems to collect and condense medical histories, enabling providers to fully understand their patients by finding data previously lost in mountains of charts. It searches nationwide for patient data based on providers' schedules, condensing notes, lab results, and more into specialty-specific clinical summaries with links to original sources. Hona then converts its clinical summaries into value-based care metrics, risk scores, and quality measures for practice-level insights.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=77965&key=user_uploads/771214/f984dca9-3ba5-45dd-8e5a-41d4d7a3f707)\n\n# Founding Team\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=77965&key=user_uploads/771214/3db96f3c-16b4-4b17-bee8-128322c0a003)\n\nHona was founded by ex-biomedical engineers seeking to return to their roots.

This strain is leading to a [critical shortfall](https://fortune.com/2024/02/14/america-shortage-primary-care-doctors-work-ai-physician-burnout-crisis/) in clinicians, jeopardizing patient care quality. Hospitals are now grappling with not only how to retain their workforce but also how to ensure patient loyalty in an increasingly competitive landscape.\n\nThe heart of the issue lies in the nature of clinicians' workloads, which include a significant amount of administrative, rules-based tasks ripe for automation.

Our AI agents can answer questions, collect information, and interface with electronic health records. We've built our platform with safety at its core, incorporating proactive bias assessments, continuous risk monitoring, and clinician oversight to maintain high standards of care.\n\nOur clinical agents can safely do a lot of the work that keeps healthcare running smoothly.

Our AI-native “business-in-a-box” takes care of the administrative work—insurance billing, patient onboarding, documentation, and scheduling—so PTs can focus on patient care, not paperwork.\n\n# The Problem\n\nIn a traditional clinic, office managers and billing staff handle everything outside of direct care: credentialing with insurers, scheduling, patient intake, claims, and compliance. For PTs who want to go independent, all of that work falls on their shoulders. It’s time-consuming, complex, and costly, which discourages many from ever starting a successful practice.\n\n# Our Solution\n\nHealthSpark gives PTs the administrative infrastructure of a full clinic without the overhead of hiring staff. Our AI-enabled back office handles the core workflows of running a practice—insurance credentialing, scheduling, patient intake, documentation, and revenue cycle management—so providers can focus entirely on care.\n\nPTs run their practice on our custom EHR, designed with smart task reminders and equipped with an AI scribe to keep documentation and compliance on track.

Once you connect to the HYBRD MCP, your AI agent will be able to: \n\n* Access and understand all your historical training data\n* Use that data to make workouts and training plans\n* Push those recommendations to your device (watch and/or phone) so you can execute the workouts\n\n**To get set up, just paste this into Claude / Muse / Instinct:** \n\nset up \\\n\\\nMillions of athletes already build training plans inside their favorite AI tool. But those tools have no access to wearable data, no memory from one session to the next, and no way to get a workout from the chat window onto an athlete's watch. HYBRD MCP closes that gap.\n\nThe first thing you should try with HYBRD MCP is to ask something like: \n\n* Across all my runs, when did I have the best ratio between grade adjusted pace and heart rate?\n* What was my most consistent phase ever? \n* What was the difference between my Napa Marathon prep and Boston Marathon prep?\n\nThen have it write you a training plan for your next goal: \n\n* Using the workouts I did most consistently, come up with a plan for Ironman California\n* Help me ramp back up to what I used to lift while maintaining my running volume\n* I’m traveling and will only have access to hotel gyms for a while, modify my current training plan\n\nHYBRD will write those workouts back to your wearable and phone, so you just have to click “start” and you’ll get guided through the plan\n\nYou can also use our companion mobile app to make tracking lifting easy, or track your runs using your phone’s GPS if you don’t have a smartwatch. \n\nHYBRD will manage your wearables connection, be a system of record for your training plan / completed workouts, and steer LLMs towards giving better fitness coaching\n\nThe experience gets especially magical with tools like Muse or Instinct, which can proactively check the local weather, block off time on your calendar, order the right fueling for you etc. \n\nSleep, recovery and nutrition data support are coming in the next few days. \n\nWe have a few thousand athletes on HYBRD so far, check out what they’re doing with it below: \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/ba90bd48-3082-495a-97de-a5b4bcb80d5d)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/cd6fc55c-c6e3-4cd1-9adc-89e6e0429da4)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/df460c1b-8fe8-46bf-b60c-6b13ebbdebd8)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/1fa83022-70ae-49cd-8c18-613955ff486b)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/e99327d7-3a83-4373-8ce7-e1948cd1e8d3)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=115915&key=user_uploads/1315661/9a2561b4-c0b7-4d60-822b-05f0184ee4df)\n\n", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/U9b-hybrd-turn-your-ai-agent-into-a-fitness-coach", "votes": 11, "created_at": "2026-09-17T20:41:16.655Z" }, { "id": 100595, "title": "HYBRD - agentic coaching for athletes", "tagline": "get faster and stronger", "body": "Hey YC!

Tell Brain about your schedule, sport mix, travel, or injuries — and it restructures your entire plan accordingly.\n\n## **⭐ Why HYBRD is different**\n\nThese aren't ChatGPT-slop training plans.\n\nWe've partnered with Alex Viada (creator of the term \"hybrid athlete\") and his Complete Human Performance team to use their world-class programming as HYBRD's foundation. Our agent adapts those plans to you while preserving best-in-class athletic methodology.\n\n(Alex also bought an iPhone just to use HYBRD)\n\n**HYBRD Brain can coach you to achieve anything**\n\n* Training for a marathon but also playing soccer twice a week? HYBRD Brain adjusts your running volume.\n* Tweaked your Achilles and need to back off temporarily? HYBRD Brain rebuilds your training block.\n* Traveling for work and missed three sessions? HYBRD Brain recalculates what comes next so you don’t lose momentum.\n\nInstead of forcing you to follow a plan that breaks on contact with reality, HYBRD Brain builds a plan that adapts to you. \n\n**HYBRD actually does things**\n\nChatting with your health data is cool, but not useful. Most apps just regurgitate your charts back to you (you know how to read a graph) and recommend the CDC's 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week.\n\nThese tools feel disappointing because they don't know your actual goals and constraints, like upcoming races, equipment and your schedule, so they can't do anything meaningful with the data they collect.\n\nHYBRD understands your goals and proactively proposes adjustments that fit your plan. Unplanned workouts, missed sessions, fatigue, cross-training, new PRs… HYBRD recognizes these moments and reorganizes your schedule around them.\n\n**HYBRD uses ALL of your workout data**\n\nEvery workout you do is a puzzle piece in a broader picture of performance. But fitness tracking data is siloed across multiple domains. You might track your running data on a Garmin, your sleep/recovery on WHOOP and your strength training in a spreadsheet. \n\nIt kinda works if you’re _just_ a runner or _just_ a lifter.\n\nBut more and more people are becoming “hybrid” athletes who focus on strength _and_ cardio, so they’re left stitching together multiple data sources to see the full picture.\n\nDo it wrong and you risk “cardio killing your gains”\n\n**HYBRD is adaptive to your history, current level and progress**\n\nHYBRD integrates with all leading wearables and data sources, pulling in your full workout history and deduplicating it. From that data, we give you a holistic view of your strength and cardio fitness, normalized for age, gender, and weight, as a single score you can track over time.\n\nCycling, running, rowing, lifting: we interpret it all to model your physiology and personalize your plan.\n\nSay you want to train more like Alex Viada. You probably aren't deadlifting 700lbs and logging 15+ hours a week (yet?). We scale the fundamentals of his programming down to exactly where you are now.\n\n**FitBench**\n\nOk, it wouldn't be an AI launch without benchmarking.\n\nWe built **FitBench**, a benchmark that evaluates an AI coach across four dimensions: Scientific accuracy, athlete safety, recommendation actionability and conciseness across 25 common coaching scenarios. We used Opus 4.6 as an LLM-as-a-judge to score HYBRD Brain against current ChatGPT and its predecessors.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100595&key=user_uploads/1315661/c6e545d7-114b-4cc5-9e1f-806f7197e7d2)\n\nBut how does that compare with human coaches?\n\nWe had HYBRD sit for the **Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)** exam, which is the gold standard in coaching. You need 70% to pass (half of all human test-takers don't make it). HYBRD scored 77%.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=100595&key=user_uploads/1315661/4cfa2415-0d8f-4106-850b-f15fcf307d54)\n\n\\\n**Our Story**\n\nBen, Mats, and Shoe all met while working on getting WHOOP to PMF. At the time, outside of work, Mats was training on the US national rowing team and Ben + Shoe were making their first forays into Ironman training.\n\nWe realized that fitness hardware was getting really good, but also was being commoditized. (Just take a look at Coros brutally undercutting Garmin prices)\n\nFor all the data being collected, existing products weren’t providing real coaching to multi-disciplinary “hybrid” athletes like us, partly because none were built to handle strength + cardio data, and partly because models weren’t good enough. \n\nMost athletes are still following static PDF plans they found online, or \"adaptive\" apps that fall apart the moment cross-training enters the picture.\n\nWe teamed up with our co-founder and CTO Ruiters (a senior AWS engineer at the time) and Michael (our founding engineer) to solve that with HYBRD. \n\nIf that problem resonates with you, [try a 7 day free trial of HYBRD!](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hybrd-get-faster-stronger/id6670271875)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QAV-hybrd-agentic-coaching-for-athletes", "votes": 8, "created_at": "2026-04-30T14:42:21.007Z" }, { "id": 95448, "title": "HYBRD: Get faster & stronger", "tagline": "World-class training plans personalized perfectly to you", "body": "**TLDR:** HYBRD (F24) is launching personalized strength + 5k/10k/half-marathon/marathon plans to make you faster and stronger!

I want to be strong and fast, but what are you actually building?**\n\nWe break down the silos between your cardio, strength and wearable data to give you a complete view of your performance.\n\nThen we use that data to personalize training plans from world-class coaches to you. We’re ex-WHOOP, ex-US national rowing team, triathletes / ultramarathoners ourselves and are building the training platform that we wish had existed for us.\\\n\\\n**Why do I need a separate app for this?**\n\nEvery workout you do is a puzzle piece in a broader picture of performance.

You might not deadlift 700lb+ and be training 15+ hours a week (yet?), so we can scale down the fundamentals of his training plan to whatever is right for you:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/316c1a00-295f-4498-a9a7-52a70ed43a06)\n\nThese training plans have been developed by likely the most reputable coaching organization in hybrid athletics - Complete Human Performance (shout out to Alex as well as Trevor Tartaglia and Ariana Scalfo!)\n\nAnd once you have that workout plan, we can push it directly to your Garmin (Coros + Apple Watch coming soon), so you can easily run through the workout on the go.\n\nYou’ll be motivated to keep making progress by pushing up your Training Score, which is the first metric to encapsulate both strength and cardio training load, developed by us and Anna Cruse, the Director of Applied Health and Performance Science at the University of Utah.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/c04f9964-96e3-457c-a1e5-b03c8fd2fc8c)\n\n**Where is this all going?**\n\nWe’ve already had hundreds of thousands of workouts get processed when HYBRD was a tracking-only app, so we’re really pumped about taking things to the next level by adding in adaptive programming.\n\nWe’re going to keep adding more plan types (HYROX, triathlon coming soon) as well as more personalization levers (probably sleep + recovery etc.)\n\nRight now we’re iOS only but stay tuned on the Android side.\n\n**Who are you to tell me how to get stronger + faster..?**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95448&key=user_uploads/1315661/3a16ba00-2b5e-4607-bda2-b0152ec649a2)\n\n**Well, we’ve got a great team!**\n\n(from left to right)\n\n* our CTO [**@Matt Ruiters**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1833503) was a USA Rugby All-American and a former senior SWE at AWS\n* [**@Caroline \"Shoe\" Shoemaker**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1862703) was the first analytics hire at WHOOP, later GM for a productivity app portfolio at Appex and is racing an Ironman this weekend\n* CEO [**@Ben Katz**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1851275) led growth at WHOOP, later GM for a fitness app portfolio at Appex and is also racing an Ironman (against Shoe) this weekend\n* Our founding engineer Michael Battaglia is a former WHOOP software engineer and rowed for Cornell\n* [**@Mats Terwiesch**](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/user/1315661) was a core product manager at WHOOP, was concurrently on the US National Rowing Team, ran a 50mi ultramarathon last weekend and previously published health + AI research at Harvard\n\nand we’re just getting started!", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OpU-hybrd-get-faster-stronger", "votes": 24, "created_at": "2025-11-13T19:11:11.440Z" }, { "id": 89832, "title": "HYBRD: the Performance Hub for Modern Athletes", "tagline": "Sync cardio, strength and wearable data for a complete view of athletic performance", "body": "**TL;DR**\n\nHYBRD is the performance hub for modern athletes.

We’re focusing on the main bottleneck in healthcare - clinical expertise. Our AI thinks like a doctor.\n* It conducts comprehensive medical histories via voice interface, performs medical reasoning, and suggests evidence-based treatments / next steps (99% of the healthcare journey).\n* Doctors can efficiently review text-based summaries on a back-end dashboard in under a minute, and maintain final medical decision-making control (the high value 1%).\n\n\n\n---\n\n### **The Problem**\n\n1. **Traditional healthcare delivery is broken, with a fundamental supply/demand mismatch between the need for healthcare, and the number of doctors available to provide it.**\n2. **The US healthcare system is facing a physician crisis**\n * Projected shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036\n * 30% of physicians are leaving the field or moving part-time in the next 5 years due to the lack flexibility or burnout.\n * Patient volumes per physician are exploding, overwhelming doctors' capacity to deliver quality care\n3. **Existing attempts to solve these problems have been step changes, and fail to lessen the burden of care on doctors:**\n * Traditional Telehealth simply moved the same broken workflows online, amounting to the same workload, if not more (”I think you’re on mute, Mrs. Jones…”)\n * Asynchronous messaging currently requires a lot of back and forth and hasn’t achieved adoption\n * Administrative streamlining AI services are great, but don’t tackle the fundamental bottleneck in healthcare which is clinical expertise.\n\n### **The Solution**\n\nFutureClinic is an EHR platform that powers digital medical clinics with sophisticated AI that handles 99% of the work, letting doctors focus purely on medical decision-making.\n\nOur platform:\n\n* Takes comprehensive medical histories through an empathetic voice interface\n* Uses advanced medical reasoning to narrow down diagnoses\n* Provides evidence-based treatment suggestions\n* Presents doctors with concise text-based summaries, with all key findings cited\n* Enables asynchronous care delivery without video/phone calls\n* Built-in safety protocols flag potential contraindications and risks.\n* Closes care gaps for patients with language barriers\n\n---\n\n### **Our Vision**\n\n* Our EHR starts by powering digital medical clinics, but we ultimately power healthcare delivery in brick and mortar clinics and hospitals too.\n\n---\n\n### **About Us**\n\n* 3 out of 4 co-founders are medical doctors as well as software engineers from top institutions (UCL, Imperial College London, Mount Sinai)\n* Combined experience of >10,000 real-world patient encounters, with a deep understanding of physician needs and pain points (and scar tissue to prove it!)\n* In previous roles, we’ve directly helped open >40 real world medical clinics in New York in the last 3 years, and know what it takes to deliver end-to-end care in a legal, compliant, and safe manner.\n* Our President has >300,000 followers on social media, largely doctors and medical students, giving us an unfair advantage for early distribution.\n\n### **Reach out!**\n\n_For Doctors_**:** If you're interested in starting your own digit clinic with complete flexibility and control, visit [**openclinic.com**](http://tryopenclinic.com) to sign up or email [**founders@openclinic.com**](mailto:founders@tryopenclinic.com)\n\n_For Healthcare Organizations_**:** If you're looking to launch a digital clinic or use our system for patient intake, we'd love to discuss how OpenClinic can help.

The administrative burden is also immense, with an average of **4.3 administrative staff per doctor** in the American healthcare system.\n\n### **Solution**\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXduwoVo9LiyuYd4ldqDHoJxHu2uaKzKbOzQnI4MZ0vlWDvKTY-nE2iokzaFTCR7-7PeqhwdI9FIqtRbpP1FkZ3ivWq6TdtuyftWnKoMCyzw-smhtrM7tZacSCTnDkJ45wF92PRK7w?key=9LANEIwzbMw6NQWGiMH6ii1e)\n\nCenote eliminates the **referral-to-treatment bottleneck**, allowing clinics to focus on patient care while accelerating revenue collection.\n\n* **Automated data extraction:** We categorize and extract key referral details the moment they hit the clinic’s inbox.\n* **Seamless medical necessity verification:** If critical referral data is missing, our system **auto-requests** the necessary information via the preferred form of digital communication.\n* **AI-powered insurance authorization:** Our **AI callers** handle insurance approvals, freeing clinic staff to focus on higher-value tasks.\n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeGgHkFuty55KGO5k--WHuaGP852o6tN4i7BepjytmDTjp48gCAx7ZC2boYhxw4NV9-evAIo09IUWh61gICroHpapc2X2jAmN3plFp4tpHM7ib9RKHwuqyyvd4FXxx2qQe-r7D7Uw?key=9LANEIwzbMw6NQWGiMH6ii1e)\n\nValidate page allows staff to easily confirm extracted data\n\n### **Team**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87480&key=user_uploads/2213671/4398c4d4-4712-4460-a3a3-46107d03750d)\n\n[Kofi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kofi-ansong-89294016a/) was formerly a software engineer for [Promise](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/promise) (YC W18), a gov-tech company.

Rayan worked on this as a consultant, where Pharma companies spent billions annually just to determine how much to pay doctors while staying within regulatory guidelines. Using LLMs, we’re automating the end-to-end process—from identifying candidates to compensation and compliance.\\\n\n\n**Problem**\n\nPharma companies spend over **$70 billion annually** on engaging doctors & researchers, yet a lot of that money is wasted on outdated and manual processes:\n\n* **Outsourcing is expensive and slow**: Companies spend millions on third parties (consulting, recruiting, and regulatory firms)  just to find the right experts and to know how much to pay them compliantly.\n* **Compliance risks are high**: Payment miscalculations can lead to regulatory violations and hefty fines\n* **Data is scattered**: Contracts, payments and compliance tracking are spread across disconnected systems, making transparency and oversight difficult\n\n\n\n**Solution**\n\n**G LNK automates Pharma companies' entire healthcare professional (HCP) engagement process**—from identifying suitable doctors to engaging them. Here’s how it works:\n\n1. **Identify HCPs:**\n * Identify a doctor from our database of over 3.2 million user profiles (growing 250% MoM).\n * Alternatively, if you know who you want to engage, simply upload the doctor’s CV and we will take care of the rest.\n2. **Calculate Compensation:**\n * Instantly determine their compensation rates.\n * Adjust the rates dynamically based on factors such as service type and travel requirements.\n3. **Engage Directly:**\n * Contact the selected doctors directly through our platform.\n4. **Ensure Compliance:**\n * Maintain regulatory compliance and prevent compliance violations before they happen.\n * Leverage real-time data from trusted sources like NIH, PubMed, CBS, CMS, and more.\n\nThis step-by-step solution replaces multiple vendors with a single AI-powered platform, ensuring efficient, compliant, and cost-effective HCP engagement.\n\n**Additional Features**\n\n* **Built-in CRM** to track all HCP engagements\n* **Comprehensive financial tracking**, including:\n * All Transfer of Value payments made to HCPs (date, purpose, associated drug)\n * Drug coverage breakdown\n * Monthly payment summaries\n * Payment analysis by Therapeutic Area\n* **Tailored recommendations** for grants, conferences, and publications for HCPs\n* **Centralized database** of regulations and Codes of Conduct across 150+ countries\n\n**Team**\n\nRayan and Raouf have known each other for over a decade, with their professional relationship cementing itself during their time as researchers at the University of Chicago.\n\n**Rayan (CEO)** worked as a Life-Sciences Consultant at PwC and was recognized as top consulting analyst in the US for pioneering automation in pharmaceutical compliance. He holds degrees in Chemistry & Economics at UChicago, where he was one of the youngest biochemistry researchers at Pritzker School of Engineering.\n\n**Raouf (CTO)** worked as a ML-researcher at AxLab, where he specialized in developing neural network architectures for multimodal human-computer interaction with adaptive reinforcement learning.

When they finally see a doctor, the first 5-10 minutes of the visit are wasted gathering history instead of diagnosing and treating.\n\n**Right now, there are only two ways to handle patient intake:**\n\n* **Static intake forms** – Miss key details, forcing doctors to play catch-up.\n* **Triage nurses** – Costly, difficult to scale, and still prone to oversight.\n\nParatus changes this. Our AI-powered intake assistant gathers symptoms, flags concerns, and delivers a structured clinical summary before the visit even starts—so doctors walk in fully informed.\n\nWatch our demo [here](https://youtu.be/KHh7fp5svY8).\n\n### **It’s Time for a New Wave of AI-Powered Intake**\n\n✅ **Conversational AI engages patients before their visit,** collecting deeper insights than any form ever could.\\\n✅ **Doctor-approved triage** – Uses **500+ Schmitt-Thompson protocols** and cross-checks medical literature.\\\n✅ **Instant structured reports** – Doctors walk in fully prepared with:\n\n* Symptom history & differential considerations\n* Next steps & testing recommendations\n* A pre-visit SOAP note for the EHR\n* A full conversation transcript for review\n\n**Think of it as a triage nurse who never misses a detail—at a fraction of the cost.**\n\n### **How It Works**\n\n1. **Instant Patient Connection** – The patient clicks an SMS link and connects with our AI assistant.\n2. **Conversational AI Consultation** – Our AI dynamically adapts to responses, uncovering key details just like a triage nurse.\n3. **Automated Pre-Visit Reports** – We run the full transcript through our fine-tuned LLM, extracting structured insights for the doctor.\n\n### **The Problem: Long Waits & Inefficient Intake**\n\n* **Months-long wait times** leave patients in limbo with no support.\n* **Doctors start visits blind**, leading to rushed decisions and missed symptoms.\n* **Triage nurses are expensive and inefficient**, yet essential for collecting high-quality data.\n\nParatus solves these problems, ensuring patients feel heard before their visit and doctors can focus on diagnosis, not data collection.\n\n### **What Patients Are Saying**\n\n_\"I called as a mother for my son’s ear pain. I was impressed by the AI’s clarity, empathy, and ability to ask the right questions. Honestly, it was better to talk to than a real nurse!\"_\n\n### **Why Us?**\n\nBest friends Tannen Hall and Pablo Bermudez-Canete, both AI students from Stanford, founded Paratus Health to fix a problem they experienced firsthand—the broken patient intake process.\n\nFor 11 years, Tannen watched his family members - and himself - grow sicker without a diagnosis for a rare disease. They endured months-long waits for every appointment, only to leave with more questions than answers. Each new doctor started from scratch, missing critical details that could have led to the right diagnosis sooner. By the time they finally got answers, it was too late to undo the damage.\n\nThat experience left Tannen frustrated with a system that forces patients to wait in limbo while their health deteriorates. He wrote about this problem in his Stanford application, and today, there is no one more determined to fix it.\n\nNow, he and Pablo are building Paratus, an AI-powered intake platform that ensures no patient is left waiting without support and no doctor walks in unprepared.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=87836&key=user_uploads/1786718/3a9b560c-8f62-4376-9297-67a19ff14f04)\n\n### **Our Vision**\n\nA world where doctors walk in ready to diagnose, not gather symptoms- because every patient’s full story is already in their hands.\n\n### **Our Ask**\n\nWe’re currently running pilots and looking to connect with:\n\n* Hospitals\n* Physician offices\n* Outpatient facilities\n* Private clinics\n\nBook a demo [here](https://calendly.com/pablo-paratushealth/30min?month=2025-02)!\n\nIf you know someone who should see this, we’d love an introduction!

All at a fraction of the cost of a private clinic.\n\nYou’ll get answers to questions like:\n\n_\"Am I aging faster than I should?\"_\n\n_\"Is my testosterone at a healthy level for my age?\"_\n\n_\"How can I improve my next marathon performance?\"_\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90454&key=user_uploads/1454634/0a347d82-7c9b-4fef-8c72-bf70511ce761)\n\nHere’s how it works:\n\n* 2 full health check-ups per year\n* See how your body’s doing with 15 health scores and your biological age - and track your progress over time.\n* Personalized action plan across nutrition, sleep, and movement\n* Access to longevity add-on tests, like microbiome, continuous glucose monitoring, and food sensitivity tests.\n\n### **The Team**\n\nWe started Lucis because we’ve lived the problem ourselves.\n\nBaptiste lost a close relative to a condition that could’ve been caught earlier. Max B has spent the last decade deep in biohacking, testing everything from supplements to wearables. At 27, Max G turned his health into an experiment - tracking sleep, diet, and training - and improved nearly all of his biomarkers in the process. We know what it’s like to search for clarity and get none.\n\n**Lucis is what we wish we had - and now, we’re building it for everyone else.**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90454&key=user_uploads/1454634/830d7470-4a85-446e-b427-38ec7343d441)\n\n### **Since launching our beta just 4 months ago:**\n\n* **30,000+ people** have joined our European longevity community.\n* **30+ lab locations** opened across France\n* **2 new European cities** - now live in Lisbon 🇵🇹 and London 🇬🇧\n* **500+ people in Paris** used Lucis to get ahead of chronic illness\n* **10 AI Startups** have gifted Lucis as a health benefit for their employees\n\n## \n\n### **Our Vision**\n\n**Lucis isn’t just a product - we’re building a completely new healthcare system in Europe.** One that lives with you. And works for you quietly, every day.\n\nWe started with blood, but our ambition goes far beyond a single input. We are building Lucis, the intelligence layer for your health.

Peter’s grandfather suffered three preventable ER readmissions before passing—his ruptured aorta went undetected after missed medications and a complete absence of follow-up care. Lukas’s grandmother, who raised him, deteriorated in assisted living—isolated, depressed, and unrecognizable before passing unexpectedly just days before he arrived. Kazuki’s grandfather battled cancer alone in Japan, cut off from family by COVID-era hospital restrictions—reminding us that healing requires more than medicine.\r\n\r\nWhat we experienced is not rare. It’s the reality for tens of millions of older adults. In ERs, nursing homes, and senior communities where we’ve volunteered, we saw the same patterns: chronic conditions unmanaged, dangerous falls ignored, weeks without human connection, and emergencies that could have been prevented. Aging has become a quiet crisis—fueled by staff shortages, fragmented systems, lack of technology access, and stigma about growing old. \r\n\r\nWe’ve invested 600+ hours on the ground working with older adults to deeply understand their’ needs, motivations, and barriers. Our team brings full-stack software, AI/ML, and hardware expertise from Neuralink, Stanford, and NVIDIA, along with operating experience leading major organizations like Zero2One (largest startup group at UIUC), Stanford Founders (1,500+ members), and Covalence (2,000 volunteers across seven universities)—this gives us the tools needed to lead transformation in this space. \r\n\r\nWe’re here because we believe older adults deserve independence, dignity, and a healthcare system that truly cares—and we’re building Kaigo Health to make that the new standard." }, { "question": "What is your long-term vision?

We text employees the best in-network options at exactly the right moment, and handle all the complexity.\n\n* Our AI-enabled virtual care treats common conditions quickly over text or video.\n* For complex care, our AI agents search across all in-network providers using millions of price and quality data points, then handle scheduling and logistics.\n* Employees get rewarded for choosing high-value care through copay reimbursements and waived deductibles.\n\nLaunch video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKNB0CF8_9Y\n\n# **⚠️ The Problem**\n\nHealthcare costs are crushing employers. 2025 is seeing a 9% rate hike, the worst in a decade. A 1,000-person company now faces over $1M in cost increases annually, compounding.\n\nEmployers’ only options are to cut benefits or redesign their entire plan. Both take months and frustrate employees.\n\nWhat if Employers could offset these costs by adding benefits instead?\n\n## **🤨 How is this possible?**\n\n**Price and quality have no correlation in healthcare:**\n\n* The same MRI: $700 at an imaging center vs $2,500 at a hospital. Same network. Same machine.\n* The same knee surgery: $7,000 at a surgery center vs $25,000 at a hospital. Same surgeon. Often better outcomes at the surgery center.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=94971&key=user_uploads/1230817/7a7a2b27-4c82-410c-9744-82a5af6b1cc2)\n\n**So why does everyone end up with the expensive option?**\n\n1. **Hospitals own the referral pipeline.** They consolidated most primary care practices. When your doctor orders a procedure, their systems automatically directs it to their expensive facilities.\n2. **Shopping is impossible.** Prices are hidden, provider directors outdated, quality is opaque. And when you're sick, calling twelve clinics is the last thing you want to do.\n\n**Rovi does the hard work.** Our AI agents analyze terabytes of pricing data, research every provider's quality metrics, and surface options matching each person's preferences for cost, convenience, and availability. Making good healthcare decisions drives down costs for both the employee and the employer.\n\n# **🎯 Impact**\n\nWe save employers 10-20% on healthcare spend while improving care outcomes and delivering a health benefit that employees love.\n\nWe've already signed contracts to roll out to thousands of employees across multiple employers for the 2025-2026 plan year.\n\n## **🙏🏾 Our ask**\n\n1. **Employers:** We have two final Q1 spots for self-funded employers. Introductions to employer benefits teams, brokers, health plans, and TPAs are welcome.

We're Alfredo and Ranad, the founders of Omanta.\n\n**TL;DR: Omanta creates a personalized research lab around a single patient. We integrate a patient’s complete medical record, personal genomics, and use AI to take on the most complex cancer cases. Our researchers tackled GitLab co-founder Sid Sijbrandij’s case, helping bring him into complete remission.**\n\n\n\n\\\n**Why this matters**\\\nIf you're a cancer patient, you'd think the hardest cases have entire teams dedicated to solving them. The reality: most doctors have about 20 minutes per patient, while the science never stops moving. New discoveries emerge every day, yet reaching standard clinical care can take over a decade (\\~17 years on average). Physicians make high-stakes decisions with limited time, and even the most difficult cases rarely have anyone whose full-time job is to interrogate every layer of that one patient's disease and push the newest science toward their treatment.\n\nThat's the gap we built Omanta to close.\\\n\\\n**What we do**\\\nWe meet patients wherever they are in their journey. We integrate their complete medical record and personal genomics with AI and clinical evidence to understand the molecular drivers of their disease. Then we map every existing therapy against their biology, and if the right therapy doesn't exist, we build it, from cancer vaccines and immunotherapies to highly targeted radioligand therapies.\\\n\\\nWe've worked on some of the most complex cancer cases in the world. Most notably, **Alfredo was the genomics lead for the personalized therapeutic campaign behind GitLab founder Sid Sijbrandij's complete remission**, partnering with leading institutions to pursue personalized mRNA/DNA vaccines, CAR-T programs, drug repurposing, expanded-access therapies, and continuous molecular monitoring. We've seen what becomes possible when the full force of modern science is organized around a single person, and Omanta brings that depth of investigation to every case.\\\n\\\n**Why us**\\\nWe met eight years ago working on early CRISPR cancer research and have been building toward this ever since.\n\n* **Alfredo Gonzalez, PhD (CEO)** — translational genomics. Led the year-long investigation of 25TB of sequencing and molecular data for Sid Sijbrandij, key missing information in existing genomic reports, and uncovered actionable findings that reshaped his therapeutic strategy, including personalized mRNA/DNA vaccines, CAR-T, expanded access, drug repurposing, and continuous monitoring. PhD at UCLA, where he built one of the world's largest centralized multi-omic datasets for rare tumors. Previously at the Broad Institute (Cancer Dependency Map, validating targets from large-scale CRISPR screens) and Harvard's Wagers Lab.\n* **Ranad Humeidi, PhD (CSO)** — chemical biologist. Earned her PhD in Chemical Biology from Harvard in three years, where she identified a druggable mechanism in ulcerative colitis that became the basis of a multimillion-dollar GSK collaboration. Built and directed a multimillion-dollar scientific program centered on a single rare-cancer patient, then went on to direct scientific strategy for 12+ medically complex patients after standard options were exhausted. At the Broad, she co-created and co-led a fellowship turning scientific discoveries into companies.\n\n\\\n**Our ask**\n\n* Intros.
