Our vision is to develop non-hormonal contraceptives to provide both women and men with birth control options that lack the associated risks of hormone-based options but are equally effective. Traditionally, it has been the women’s financial and health burden to have a contraceptive in place.

Our second goal is to develop the first ever non-surgical and highly effective non-hormonal contraceptive for men. Currently, male contraception is limited to two main options – vasectomy or condoms.

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. Tell any friends or family you know who want to quit smoking\n2. Investors: send us an email at [alex@mindsethealth.com](mailto:alex@mindsethealth.com)\n3.

The core electronic health record (EHR) technology is precisely developed for interventional treatment workflows and designed to support a strong therapeutic alliance, including journaling tools and assistance with health plan reimbursement, which is a significant access hurdle for millions of patients.\r\n\r\nResearch from our platform is already helping to set new standards for mental health interventions. For example, in the largest published real-world analysis of ketamine infusion therapy for depression, we teamed up with Stanford University School of Medicine to share findings in the Journal of Affective Disorders (March 2022). We have multiple ongoing research studies leveraging our proprietary real-world data, including an even larger ketamine analysis leveraging machine learning to predict treatment outcomes.\r\n\r\nOsmind is a San Francisco–based public benefit corporation led by scientists, technologists, and psychiatrists.

That number is going up. Access is getting easier, prices are falling, and the longevity research on low-dose GLP therapy is compelling enough that it's not hard to imagine most adults cycling on and off these medications eventually, not just for weight loss, but for metabolic health and lifespan.\n\nThere are plenty of places to buy Ozempic, but the monitoring and optimization infrastructure is not there yet. The biology of GLP therapy is more complicated than the weight loss headline suggests:\n\n🚫 **Muscle loss is hidden by the scale.** Fast weight loss often means lean mass loss, not just fat. Standard weight tracking can't tell the difference.\n\n🚫 **Side effects are downstream signals.** Fatigue, brain fog, hair shedding, and constipation aren't random — they're often markers of caloric under-fueling, nutrient depletion, or dehydration pressure that bloodwork would catch early.\n\n🚫 **Prescribers don't monitor the full picture.** Most GLP patients get minimal follow-up labs, if any. HbA1c, ApoB, ferritin, B12, testosterone, thyroid — none of these are standard-of-care during treatment.\n\n🚫 **Weight alone is a bad success metric.** Losing 24 lbs while losing 6 lbs of muscle and depleting your ferritin is not the same as losing 24 lbs of fat.\n\n# The Solution: A Monitoring Loop Built for GLP Therapy\n\nWe've served 50,000+ users with at-home blood testing. GLP users are a distinct population with distinct needs, so we built a product specifically for them. The SiPhox GLP Monitoring Panel connects labs, body composition, and symptom tracking into one continuous loop so you can see what the drug is actually doing to your biology and course-correct before small problems become bigger ones.\n\n---\n\n### 💡 What You Get\n\n**✅ 40+ Lab Markers — GLP-Specific Panel**\n\nNot a generic wellness panel. Built around the markers that matter when appetite, weight, hydration, and body composition are actively changing:\n\n* **Metabolism:** HbA1c, eAG, C-Peptide\n* **Lipids & heart:** ApoB, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, hsCRP\n* **Liver:** ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, albumin\n* **Kidney & hydration:** BUN, creatinine, eGFR, BUN:Cr ratio\n* **Thyroid:** TSH, Free T4\n* **Hormones:** Testosterone (total + free + %), SHBG, cortisol\n* **Nutrition:** Vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin, iron studies (Iron, UIBC, TIBC, Iron Saturation), total protein\n\n**✅ Painless At-Home Collection**\n\nCollected via our Easydraw arm patch, no venous draw, no finger prick, no lab visit. Mail it back, and the results appear in your dashboard.\n\n**✅ Body-Composition Scanning**\n\nIn-app scanner tracks fat loss vs. lean mass preservation between tests.\n\n**✅ GLP Tolerance Score**\n\nA composite score built from labs, body comp, and symptom check-ins. Tracks how well your body is handling therapy at each stage: baseline → titration → maintenance.\n\n**✅ Symptom & Side-Effect Tracking**\n\nTrack fatigue, brain fog, hair shedding, GI issues, and muscle soreness between tests. Connects subjective experience to objective lab data.\n\n**✅ Detailed Analysis & Personalized Insights**\n\nInterpret what's moving in the right direction, what deserves a conversation with your prescriber, and what to adjust in diet, training, or supplementation built around your specific results.\n\n🔗 **Start monitoring:** \n\n---\n\n---\n\n### 📈 Why Now?\n\nGLP drugs are the fastest-growing drug class in history. Next-gen peptides like retatrutide, orforglipron, cagrilintide are coming. The longevity use case is expanding the addressable population well beyond obesity treatment.

SiPhox, already the best option for home blood testing, is launching Sai, an AI lab test analyzer that lives directly in the SiPhox dashboard, just like the Cursor chat lives inside the IDE.\n2.

Maybe _too_ big.\n\nSomething more practical: AI + friction-free diagnostics can wipe out **a significant portion of preventable disease** if we give people the right tools.\n\nThat’s exactly what we’re shipping an early version of **today**.\n\n---\n\n### **What’s new**\n\n# 1. **Cursor-style Copilot for Your Labs (Beta)**\n\nUpload any lab report—PDF, photo, whatever—and **Sai**, our GPT-powered assistant, appears as a cursor-style sidebar in your dashboard.\n\nAsk it anything:\n\n* “Why is my ApoB high if my LDL looks fine?”\n* “Show me habits that would drop my Trig/HDL under 2.”\n* “Review my last several years of test data to see if I might be developing perimenopause.”\n* “Generate a doctor-ready summary of my results.”\n\nOr **highlight any section** in your dashboard and click _Ask Sai_\n\nhttps://youtu.be/B7PZ3QvIEuI\n\n# 2. **Zero-friction At-Home Blood Testing**\n\n* Upper-arm collector (comfortable, collects the sample painlessly in a few minutes)\n* Industry-leading, up to **50 biomarkers** in a single kit\n* Overnight return shipping to lab for fast results.\n\n ![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=90232&key=user_uploads/520037/c7d623a3-5648-489a-a0db-2d8b4b0e55d1)\n\n\n# 3. **Integrated Expert Review**\n\nEvery report is reviewed by health experts. Insights come from a proprietary database developed by SiPhox experts and clinical advisors based on years of longitudinal testing by thousands of users. You still get human nuance + the flexibility of discussing your results with Sai.\n\n# 4. **Free Biological-Age & Heart-Age Scores**\n\nBecause a comprehensive dashboard is nice, but **north-star metrics** make it easier to take action and track progress. We built these scores using proprietary models based on public datasets and years of SiPhox user data.\n\n# 5. **Open Uploads**\n\nNot ready to buy a kit? Start by dumping old Quest/Labcorp PDFs into the dashboard for **free**. We’ve had this feature available for a few months now, and uploads are growing exponentially.\n\n---\n\n### **One More Thing 🫀**\n\n# **Heart & Metabolic Program** (launched quietly six months ago, now public)\n\n* **Most complete at-home panel** for cardiometabolic risk (advanced lipids + insulin resistance markers).\n* **Phenotype scoring** that fuses glucose-metabolism and lipid data\n* American Heart Association risk score and SiPhox **Heart-Age** score so you (and your doctor) can see your heart health status at a glance.\n* Access to titrated **lipid-lowering medications** when needed via telemedicine\n* Full Sai access, of course.\n\n---\n\n### **Why We’re Doing This**\n\n* **Doctors are time-constrained**. They glance at your test results and say “looks normal” even though “normal” ranges are based on lack of active disease, not disease prevention\n* **Patients are guessing**. Reddit threads and WebMD are too generic\n* **AI is finally good enough** to translate raw biomarker data into clear, day-to-day actions.\n* **Existing doctor-AI tools** are focused on symptom analysis and diagnosis, not on labs and long-term disease prevention\n* **60% of Americans have a chronic disease.** We want to help these people manage or even reverse their conditions and help the other 40% stay healthy long into old age.\n\n### **“There’s a new AI agent/chatbot launching every day. Why does the world need another one?”**\n\n1. It’s 100% true that anyone can upload their lab results to ChatGPT or another LLM interface and have a passable conversation about them. Based on our real-world experience with the SiPhox user-base, having a single health dashboard where all of your health data lives makes all the difference. **It’s the same reason Cursor is more useful for coding than ChatGPT…** the assistant in the IDE and has all the necessary context to collaborate with the user. This is something we wanted to experiment with (and we are looking to get as much feedback as possible on the UI).\n2. ChatGPT and other chatbots do great on generic medical exams but just like a typical primary care physician, they are less trained to handle health optimization and advanced bloodwork. Selecting “deep research” gives better results, but the output still requires an expert to confirm.\n3. SiPhox customized Sai using years of experience repeatedly testing, and coaching tens of thousands of users. This kind of dataset of frequent, comprehensive testing and coaching doesn’t exist publicly (or privately, as far as we know) for LLMs to train on.\n4. We are not an AI company building in a vacuum; we are a hardware and clinical product company building, integrating AI to serve the needs of active users who partner with us every day to improve their health.\n\n**Transparently, we are not convinced that this form factor (a chatbot)** is the final iteration, but given the state of AI today (latency vs. accuracy and intelligence tradeoffs), this is where we are starting.\n\n---\n\n### [TALK TO SAI](https://siphoxhealth.com/try-sai)\n\n1. **Don’t forget to upload past labs** → your data and trends are analyzed and displayed in a clear dashboard with the Sai sidebar\\_: [https://siphoxhealth.com/try-sai](https://siphoxhealth.com/try-sai%5C)\n2. **Sign up for a home blood test kit subscription** → 20 % off for the YC community with code [LAUNCHYC20](https://siphoxhealth.com/?discount=LAUNCHYC20)\n3.

Regular blood tests are vital for identifying and managing these conditions, but the traditional reports often add to the confusion.\n\nInstead of offering clarity, you're met with pages of numbers, confusing medical jargon, and reference ranges that merely tell you if you’re “in” or “out”. If you're lucky enough to discuss the results with your doctor, you might gain some clarity and a prescription, but you’re unlikely to fully understand the status of your body, and feel like you have a clear plan to improve your health.\n\nWhat's more, as long as your results aren't drastically abnormal, you might not receive any feedback from your doctor at all.

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.

Sarah elects her company’s PPO health plan because she isn’t sure which option to choose. Based on her family’s income and health data, Sarah could have saved over $2,000 by electing and using an HSA-eligible health plan. These savings could have gone to paying for medical expenses, paying down debt, or saving for retirement.\n\nSince Sarah’s company pays 80% of health insurance premiums, they have also overspent $3,000+. \n\n### 🎉 **The Solution: Personalized benefits selection and engagement at scale**\n\nPasito saves companies money on healthcare and payroll by guiding their employees to make better and more efficient health and retirement benefits decisions. Our webapp uses company and personal data to optimize benefits coverage and help employees use their benefits year-round including: \n\n💼 Payroll data \n\n❤️ Health data \n\n🪙 Financial data \n\n👱🏽 Family data \n\n🏢 Benefits data \n\n![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/030tk1g9d968V-120hXBe5m-jxZMg2LhKWbhIU7CpTjlr_liNMDTlpgYYk0ehI7u2RSS2Wb8vpT_LAetNf1xRUMT5W9RQ1FIH69eTw21Uf87dEBGqVsG3veqIy7X6E7emdnCUaO71M2Wh41Dvc05bkU)\n\nUsing Pasito, **employees**: \n\n✔️ Save $2,000+ on average \n\n✔️ Finallyyyy understand how to use their benefits \n\nAnd **companies**: \n\n✔️ Save thousands (if not millions) of dollars on premiums, healthcare expenses, and payroll taxes \n\n✔️ Show the value of their full benefits package to employees and candidates\n\n✔️ Reduce the personal questions received from employees \n\n### \n\n### 💲**Opportunity: The thrilling scope and impact of our market**\n\nThere are 300 Sarahs in every company of 1,000 employees. That’s almost $1m in wasted health and benefits spend for Sarah’s company. \n\nAcross the US there are 48 million Sarahs and a mind-shattering $200+ billion is wasted each year from poor health insurance and benefits elections. This capital could instead be invested to deliver better financial and health outcomes, and to reduce the $190+ billion in US medical debt. \n\n \n\n### **👋** **Ask: How you can help**\n\n* Connect us to CFOs and HR leaders in your network.

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.

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.

Our ask is for help connecting with private clinics (with 8+ doctors) in any specialty, digital healthcare companies with providers, and PE firms with medical roll-ups.\n\n### **The Problem:**\n\nDoctors are spending more time on taking notes than seeing patients, and aren’t taught how to code their notes optimally for proper reimbursement. This leads to physician burnout and revenue leakage for healthcare organizations (up to $125 billion a year in the US).\n\n### **Our Solution:**\n\nKnowtex creates visit notes with the proper codes for reimbursement automatically from doctor-patient conversation.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=65893&key=user_uploads/556751/cbde38bb-69a5-49a9-b723-fc0b8bf65864)\n\n(The automatically generated note output from a conversation Caroline had in real-time with a cardiologist!)\n\n**Wait, doctors code?**\n\nWe’re not talking about software coding, but medical coding, which means assigning the right diagnostic (ICD-10) and procedural codes (CPT) to a note to allow a claim to be created and submitted to insurers for appropriate payment. Correct coding is also critical for demographic assessments and studies of disease prevalence, treatment outcomes and accountability-based reimbursement systems.\n\nWith Knowtex, we can cut the time doctors currently spend on admin work in half, and allow them to focus on what they love: patient care.\n\n### **Our Team**\n\nWe met day one of Stanford freshmen year. Caroline received her master's degree in Computer Science concentrating in AI and an undergraduate degree in Economics (in just 4 years!). Jocelyn received an interdisciplinary degree in CS specializing in Linguistics and has worked at startups in a variety of positions including leading AI/ML teams.\n\nAfter graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to apply our technical skills to build solutions for our healthcare system. We heard about the problem of physician burnout from medical documentation, and **became medical scribes ourselves to experience it firsthand. 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 Bryan and David, the founders of [InVision](http://invisionmedtech.com/). At InVision, we develop AI tools to quickly and accurately diagnose heart disease. \n\n### **Challenges in Diagnosing Heart Disease**\n\n32 million heart ultrasounds are performed in the United States each year to diagnose heart disease. Acquiring and interpreting ultrasounds is time-consuming, requiring over an hour of physician and technician time for each exam. Additionally, there exists considerable human-to-human variability when interpreting the ultrasounds, resulting in misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of heart disease. \n\n### **Our Solution**\n\nAt InVision, we use AI to help streamline the interpretation of ultrasounds and identify undiagnosed diseases. Our models have been tightly integrated into the clinical workflow to allow easy usage by clinicians. We’re leading the first and only blinded randomized trial of AI technology in cardiology, and we will be presenting as a [headliner clinical trial](https://twitter.com/David_Ouyang/status/1562834463343935491) at the largest cardiology conference ([European Society of Cardiology](https://www.escardio.org/Congresses-&-Events/ESC-Congress)) meeting tomorrow!\n\n### **About us**\n\nDavid majored in Statistics at Rice University, did his MD at UCSF, and did residency and fellowship training in cardiology at Stanford University. David then worked as an attending cardiologist at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, a leading heart health system which will be the first site of deployment of our technology. Bryan majored in CS at Caltech and did his CS PhD at Stanford. Together, we've worked together on this project for the last 4 years, first as a research project and now as clinical deployment of a viable product.\n\n### **Where We Are**\n\nOur work has previously been peer-reviewed and published in several top medical venues, including Nature (2020), Nature Medicine (2021), Lancet Digital Health (2021), JAMA Cardiology (2022). Results from our blinded and randomized clinical trial on evaluating cardiac function have also been recently presented as a Late Breaking Clinical Trial at the European Society of Cardiology.\n\nWe are currently working on securing FDA clearance for our heart failure model and starting up clinical trials for our model screening for cardiac amyloidosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and aortic stenosis.\n\n### **How You Can Help**\n\nIf you or anyone you know would be interested in helping out, we’d be grateful for introductions to:\n\n* Companies who have previously gone through the FDA regulatory process\n* Investors interested in medical technology\n* Hospitals and medical device manufacturers that may be interested in our product\n\nWe can be reached at [founders@invisionmedtech.com](mailto:founders@invisionmedtech.com).

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.

In fact, they **lose 500 hours a year** by clicking around terrible infrastructure and as a result the **healthcare industry loses $11 billion annually**.\n\nMental health clinicians face the following set of challenges:\n\n1. Subpar EHR solutions cost mental health clinicians \\~1,500 hours/year\n2. This admin time detracts from time spent with patients, translating into $10,000+ of lost revenue per clinician\n3. Lost revenue and less time with patients leads to stress and ultimately to clinician burnout \n\nNo wonder it’s so hard to find a therapist these days, and it all starts with clunky software! \n\nAt Orchid we believe the path to helping those seeking mental health care runs through helping mental health clinicians. We need to figure out an affordable way to buy back the time of these mental health professionals because every hour wasted is an hour not spent addressing the mountain of unmet demand in this market and results in billions wasted for our healthcare industry. \n\n### **The Solution**\n\nEnter Orchid. **We are an affordable EHR that seamlessly integrates the core functions of running a mental healthcare practice.** \n\nImagine an all-in-one platform that automates scheduling, billing, insurance credentialing, analytics, telehealth, and note-taking. By doing this **we reclaim 500 hours of each provider annually, and we potentially save the healthcare industry 11 billion dollars**. \n\nOrchid not only helps clinicians improve the mental health outcomes of their patients but also alleviates the supply-demand imbalance in the mental healthcare market by enabling clinicians to spend more time both onboarding new patients and focusing on their current patient roster.\n\n**Read what Orchid subscribers are saying about how Orchid reduces their admin work**:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=69725&key=user_uploads/1179470/fddba9d9-d1b1-42f8-859c-c0ec794570c7)\n\n\n### **Make the world a better place**\n\n**If you or anyone in your network might be interested in learning more or helping out, we would love to chat.**  We're especially interested in talking with:\n\n* **Health insurance companies (payors)**, especially those interested in expanding their mental health offerings, in increasing their members’ access to mental healthcare, in decreasing their costs through efficient operations, and in improving their quality of care. **We have hundreds of vetted clinicians implementing measurement-based care.**\n* **Independent mental health professionals**: therapists, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists, even if they’re currently not in the market for a new EHR.

We use LLMs to analyze long (70+ page), messy medical records and determine if a patient is eligible for a treatment.\n\n### **What is Prior Authorization?**\n\nPrior Authorization is a process where physicians must obtain approval from a patient’s health insurance plan before a specific treatment or medication is delivered. This process can take an **average of 2-14 days, with some cases taking upwards of 15-31 days**. This prevents patients from receiving necessary treatments in a timely manner. The entire healthcare industry is also projected to **spend $36 billion each year** in administrative costs for this process. \n\n**This process for health insurance is still manual and inefficient:**\n\n1. Patient documents sent to health insurance are a mess and can be a **70-100+ page fax.**\n2. Health insurance companies have to **allocate more headcount to try and manually check these documents** against their medical necessity criteria, costing them millions each year.\n\n### **How it works:**\n\nWe speed up the medical eligibility determination for health insurers. We ingest patient documents + criteria from health insurance plans and use LLMs to output an approval/denial decision with justification based on an evaluation of each sub-criteria. We also highlight the context within the medical document that informed the decision to allow for easy review.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=70364&key=user_uploads/1096888/fceffbb3-e71a-4523-a0a9-df7c73f34c76)\n\n### **Our ask:**\n\nAre you in health insurance or do you know anyone in health insurance?

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

In 2016 he was recruited to work for a key industry player, Shamir Insight, and afterwards for Johnson & Johnson Vision as a sales executive. As he traversed the industry in various roles, Joe realized that thousands of other eye doctors and optical labs were suffering from the same problems and frustrations he had encountered during his career. \n\nWhen Joe approached his friend [Arnold](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnold-villatoro-85629330/) about creating a new technology resource to unify the fragmented optical industry, Arnold was quick to see the vision (pun intended). Arnold’s career started at Workday building the infrastructure for an internal job scheduler. Most recently, Arnold was the lead staff engineer for the payments infrastructure and processing teams at Lyft. With his diverse experience designing scalable and easy-to-use technology solutions for millions of users, Joe and Arnold make the perfect co-founding team.\n\n### 🙏 **Our Asks**\n\n* **📣 Sharing:** Share this post with your network, and follow us on [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/company/speccheck)!\n* **➡️ Referrals:** Connect us with any family, friends, or colleagues who work in the optical industry. \n* **🖥️ Product Demos:** If you’re in the industry and would like to learn more about [SpecCheck](https://www.speccheckrx.com/), please [contact us today](https://www.speccheckrx.com/contact).\n* **🚀 Investors:** Please reach out to us at [investors@speccheckrx.com](mailto:investors@speccheckrx.com) to discuss investment opportunities.\n\n ", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/I5Q-speccheck-unifying-how-the-optical-industry-does-business", "votes": 58, "created_at": "2023-02-22T05:30:14.909Z" } ] }, { "id": 28780, "name": "Clearest Health", "slug": "clearest-health", "former_names": [ "Mano AI", "Mano", "Mano AI", "Mano Health", "Mano Claims", "Mano Health" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/6d4c1cc0751098e00020fe57a63b4a98b4977331.png", "website": "https://clearesthealth.com/", "all_locations": "New York City, NY, USA", "long_description": "Clearest Health is an AI-enabled revenue recovery platform for independent healthcare practices with underpaid out-of-network claims.

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?

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.

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? Sign up for an 1:1 or group session with an expert PT to try out the experience for yourself (no referral required). We’ve run several successful group sessions with YC founders already.

It takes hours for consumers to navigate glitchy websites and long, paper Medicaid forms.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73742&key=user_uploads/89898/ebdc0992-91cf-4f63-b15d-9fd3402c314b)\n\nThe experience is so poor that procedural reasons (e.g., form errors, missing a notice in the mail) account for a staggering 75% of disenrollments. This is terrible for consumers who lose coverage and produces huge downstream consequences: Medicaid health plans (MCOs) lose over $30B from churn, providers suffer $13B in lost patient revenue and uncompensated care, and states waste $8B on administrative costs.\n\nMore than ever before, Medicaid enrollment demands immediate attention given the ongoing Medicaid redetermination crisis putting 15M enrollees at risk of losing coverage in the next 18 months.\\\n**\\\nOur Solution**\n\nFortuna solves the $57B enrollment problem with a consumer product (beautiful, simple state Medicaid filing experience just like Turbotax is for taxes). By making products that consumers want to use, we unlock immense value for providers and health plans.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73742&key=user_uploads/89898/a3771849-1883-4036-8992-88cec6086161)\n\nOur unique approach provides consumers with a seamless web experience, eliminating the need to interact with state portals. We offer 60-second eligibility checks and 5-minute (re)enrollment in 7 languages. To accelerate completing applications, we allow consumers to connect accounts that auto-populate their filings, provide a \"virtual\" mailbox for state and health plan communications, and send text notifications for urgent actions.\n\nProviders and health plans have had limited real-time visibility into enrollment and revenue risk until now. The Fortuna platform allows providers and health plans to seamlessly monitor Medicaid enrollment status and consumer next steps, receive real-time updates on contact information, and benefit from comprehensive analytics.\n\nOur vision is to transform the enrollment experience and expand our products to become the consumer-facing digital infrastructure that powers the $800B+ Medicaid ecosystem.\n\n**The Team**\n\nWe’re all former operators and engineers with experience scaling early and mid-stage healthcare startups that covered Medicaid.\n\n* Cydney is a former management consultant who helped scale a health tech company from seed to Series C as General Manager and VP of Operations and Strategy. 30% of the company’s patients were Medicaid beneficiaries.\n* Ben was the first software engineer at behavioral health revenue cycle startup Juniper (YC W21) and helped grow the engineering team to 12.

Diabetes costs more than $237B in direct medical expenses every year, and there are >100M Americans with either prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes.\n\nThe solution to this problem needs two things:\n\n1. A focus on diabetes reversal, where sustained drug-free remission is the goal.  Lots of apps reduce diabetes costs by \\~5%.  We aim for 95%.\n2. Use the healthcare system we have – bill fee-for-service, accept patient referrals, be covered for everyone with insurance – and build a lean operation to power it.\n\n \n\nWe’re building a modern virtual care provider that can meet this need, combining the best of compassionate physician care with infinitely scalable technology to fit profitably into the real world of insurance reimbursement. \n\n  \n\n### **46% of Patients Reach the Remission Range**\n\nToday we have 2,000 patients in our program, and we deliver 46% of them into the A1C range for diabetic remission – that is, the lab range for someone without diabetes.  This adds years to their lives, offsets hundreds of thousands in lifetime healthcare costs, and significantly reduces the risk of heart disease and cognitive decline.\n\n![timeline](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D5622AQFdJxzZM_nMjA/feedshare-shrink_2048_1536/0/1687880971696?e=1694044800&v=beta&t=ofkErOL_pd8t3nbIqMHPtP0_zGCuKCzHaOntjhNkubA)\n\n \n\n### **Doing It Profitably**\n\nThe key to making all of this work is provider leverage.  We make technology that gives our doctors superpowers.  They can complete documentation in a fraction of the time of their peers (<20%) and handle group medical sessions with ease (one of the best-reimbursed services in healthcare because it’s usually so arduous).\n\nWe built our own EMR platform, connecting every decision physicians make to real patient data – including readiness-for-change, behavioral momentum, and more.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73770&key=user_uploads/1247082/631140dd-4176-432a-a0dc-e736b9d078e4)\n\n \n\nOur patients spend only a couple of hours with physicians but have more than 20x hours of connection with their physicians – as they learn through personalized content, understand their disease through interactive reports that contextualize their data, and work step-by-step through implementing their recommended lifestyle changes.  In the future we will leverage LLMs to answer patient questions and guide them through changes, further increasing this provider leverage ratio.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73770&key=user_uploads/1247082/a6e571be-d442-4c12-a901-97437813c98b)\n\n \n\n \n\n### **We’re going to shrink this market**\n\nDiabetes is a $237B market in the US.  Diabetes reversal and maintenance will be a $36B market.  For every $1 spent on diabetes reversal, we offset $15 spent on diabetes care.  And that’s great because the healthcare system needs those dollars for other things.\n\nType 2 diabetes is just the beginning, as lifestyle medicine can also transform costs across a range of cardiometabolic diseases.  LifestyleRx is the lifestyle prescription for those diseases, and we intend to build a solution that can scale to the size of this vast problem.\n\n\\-\n\nTo get in touch, email [jason@lifestylerx.io](mailto:jason@lifestylerx.io)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/JBq-lifestylerx-virtual-care-for-type-2-diabetes-reversal", "votes": 20, "created_at": "2023-08-03T18:45:06.551Z" } ] }, { "id": 29046, "name": "Elythea", "slug": "elythea", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/bd032cddcdb63dd5b12b5be82827d23e79135094.png", "website": "https://elythea.org/", "all_locations": "San Diego, CA, USA", "long_description": "Over 80% of maternal mortalities were preventable with earlier intervention.

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**.

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.

He also supported the launch of two AAA titles during his time at Amazon Games, New World, and Lost Ark, earning development credits on both.\n\n[Jarrett](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarrett-perkins/): Spent two years with Asana’s Search and Navigation team, helping to refine Asana’s search relevance and leading experiments that increased Asana’s ARR by $2M.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=74451&key=user_uploads/1392033/e557e34e-68d4-4ac7-a44d-60c903c0698c)\n\n### **Why we’re building Advent**\n\nDuring my time at Amazon Games, I witnessed firsthand how much Amazon struggled to break into the gaming space without strong UGC elements in their games. Now that AI empowers every player to be a creator, we’re on a mission to build the next generation of UGC-first games so every gamer can feel how we felt the first time we played Minecraft.\n\n### **Offer**\n\nFollow us on [twitter](https://twitter.com/playadvent) to get free **lifetime access** to closed beta testing for all of our future games.\n\n### **Asks**\n\nIf you or someone in your network is excited about the future of gaming, we’d love to connect!

Today 30% of return visits don’t happen because patients get lost in follow up logistics, costing doctors 10% of revenue. Our clinically intelligent, EHR-integrated AI agents proactively reach out to patients and answer their messages, via text and voice, at vulnerable touchpoints for loss to follow up - after new diagnoses, new meds, or diagnostic tests are ordered - and close the loop on every request, documenting directly in the medical chart, until the patient is handed off to their return visit.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=95610&key=user_uploads/617488/45df86c7-1f4e-4f3e-b590-8ef0355dc7af)\n\n# Ask: Intros! [founders@simbie.ai](mailto:founders@simbie.ai)\n\n# \n\n# Problem: 30% of patients get lost in follow up and don’t make it to their next appointment\n\nNeeding to schedule diagnostic tests like bloodwork or imaging, getting a new med or diagnosis, or general confusion about how to accomplish next steps stop patients from getting there. This loses practices 10% of revenue. Medical groups and hospitals throw expensive people at the problem—sinking 20% of revenue on human staff to chase patients down manually.\n\n# Solution: EHR-integrated Clinical AI agents that see patient questions/barriers through to resolution\n\nBeyond reactively answering phones: Simbie AI proactively reach patients at vulnerable touchpoints and get them back on track, answering their responses and scheduling outreach (call & text) sequentially until loops are closed. \n\n# Accomplished To Date:\n\n* Grown 400X since launching in Jan 2025\n* Used 24/7 in practices across the country \n* 0% churn\n* 100% inbound, $0 CAC due to our unfair advantages: 1) quick trust-gaining of doctor-leadership as a doctor- and clinical operator-led team and 2) viral spread via physician peer-to-peer networks.\n\n# Team & Why:\n\nNatalia and Rachel met during their undergrad days at Yale and have been best friends for 15 years.

As a doctor herself, and from a family of docs, she has advocated for doctos and their patients throughout her career, recognizing physician burnout and poor patient satisfaction are two sides of the same coin. AI was the turning point she’d been waiting for: infinitely scalable staff to handle the grunt work that depletes doctors and loses patients in the system: making sure no patient is ever lost to follow up again.\n\n[Rachel O’Driscoll](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-o-driscoll-896b55147/) is a clinical ops and strategy veteran with a proven track record: she built Cayaba Care, a brick and mortar and digital health practice, ground-up.

We’re [Abdul Jamjoom](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abduljamjoom/) and [Rami Rustom](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramirustom/) from [Arini](https://www.arini.ai).\n\n**tl;dr**\n\nArini is an AI receptionist for dental clinics that answers phone calls, and schedules appointments. The dental front desk is stretched thin, spending 80% of their time on the phone, yet still missing 35% of calls. Missed calls = missed revenue. Arini answers 100% of calls, 24/7.\n\n## **Problem**\n\nHealthcare in the US is facing a massive staffing shortage, especially since COVID. It’s hard for clinics to find, train, and retain admin staff. As a result, the front desk is overworked and understaffed.\n\nThe dental front desk spends 6 hours a day on the phone but still misses 35% of calls. Each missed call is missed revenue.\n\nEven though 80% of dental clinics have online scheduling forms, most appointments are still booked over the phone. Even if you book online, they’re going to call you back (go ahead and try it).\n\n## **Solution**\n\nWe built an AI voice agent that answers phone calls and books appointments. We plug into the existing software that dental clinics use and populate appointments on their calendar. We can also answer questions about insurance, billing, and anything else the patient needs.\n\nWe help practices increase revenue by booking more appointments. We also help them reduce their operating cost since they need to recruit, train, and retain fewer receptionists.\n\n\n\n## **The team and how we landed on dental**\n\nWe met in high school in Jordan, co-founded a start-up 2 years ago, and are always hacking together. Abdul studied CS at Harvard and was an early engineer at Threads, an enterprise communication tool, where he led search. Rami studied CS at MIT and joined Threads a year ago, and we both led Threads’ AI team, where we automated customer support, document feedback, notification triaging, and more.\n\nWe landed on the dental space after going door-to-door to dentists, shadowing them, and experiencing first-hand the challenges they faced. It was clear that the front desk was a bottleneck for increasing bookings, even though dentists in the US spend $7B a year on front desk staffing.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78760&key=user_uploads/868778/669b3926-305a-4cc9-92d2-adee47bf0991)\n\n## **How you can help**\n\n1.

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. As a result, administrative automation has emerged as the [top strategic priority](https://d2d1vpa6c3q6ni.cloudfront.net/2024-executive-survey-results.png) for hospitals and insurers in 2024.\n\n### **Anaphero is building goal-oriented AI agents to expand clinical capacity**\n\n[Anaphero](https://www.anaphero.com/) addresses healthcare staffing shortages by automating routine but essential tasks. We enable health systems to deploy custom AI agents that interact with patients through text, voice, or video, emulating human clinicians. 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. This not only increases clinical capacity but also allows doctors and nurses to concentrate on what they find most rewarding—making clinical decisions and counseling patients. The outcome is a workforce of more satisfied clinicians, improved care quality, and more loyal patients.\n\n### **Our Founders' Journey**\n\n[Ryan Gallagher, MD](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryangallaghermd/) (CEO) is a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician and was on the founding team at Two Chairs and Ophelia.

Better outcomes, lower costs, and aligned with patient preferences: it’s no surprise large insurers are scooping up home health providers.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=78586&key=user_uploads/932678/56616808-3fe2-4b7d-8bdb-b670e0ed70e2)\n\n### **The problem: too much charting**\n\nOn the ground, however, we’re seeing widespread burnout among nurses. The worst part of the job is documentation, which can take 90 minutes for a single patient and costs agencies $8B per year. Agencies that employ these nurses struggle to submit _high-quality_ documentation in a _timely_ manner, which is hurting their top line.\n\n### **The solution: an AI scribe**\n\nAndy is an AI-powered ambient scribe designed specifically for home health nurses. Nurses record their visits using their Andy app and receive a chart completed by Andy straight into their EHR. With Andy, the 90-minute documentation process is now a 15-minute review.\n\n### **Meet Team Andy**\n\nWe’re a healthcare & AI team focused on pressing public health challenges.

We ingest provider information and use AI to automate submissions, saving providers months of waiting.\n\n### ❌ The Problem\n\nBeing in network with a health insurer is critical for both patients and providers:\n\n* For patients, seeing in network providers means dramatically lower healthcare costs. This informs which providers they choose and whether they can even afford to visit one.\n* For providers, being in network means a bigger pool of potential patients. It also simplifies billing and reimbursement.\n\nHowever, the process of getting a provider in network is highly manual and fragmented. There are approximately **1,400** payers in the US, each with their own enrollment process. Some of these processes involve painstakingly filling out 50+ page forms.\n\nOn top of burning hours of administrator time, delays are costly. A single incorrect field can push back cases by months. With providers billing $3,000/week, this costs healthcare practices **tens of thousands of dollars per provider**.\n\n### ⭐ Our Solution\n\nWe provide standardized questionnaires to collect all required provider information and documents.

Entire teams spend **hours juggling shifts, fixing errors, and handling last-minute changes** — leading to inefficiencies, staff dissatisfaction, and **billions in lost productivity and resources.**\n\n**YouShift replaces manual work with AI-powered automation** that creates **fair, efficient, and compliant schedules.**\n\n# **The Problem: Shift scheduling is a mess**\n\nMost hospitals rely on **manual scheduling processes and fragmented, unintuitive software** platforms that don't integrate. Schedulers and physicians spend hours adjusting shifts and then manually transferring data between disconnected systems, wasting time, increasing errors, and creating inefficiencies.\n\nBad scheduling impacts **hospital efficiency, staff well-being, and patient care** — a problem that healthcare simply can't afford.\n\n# **The Solution: AI scheduling that works for everyone**\n\nUnlike traditional scheduling tools, **we don’t just digitize spreadsheets — we replace them with an intelligent system that optimizes scheduling** for both staff and hospitals.\n\n\n\n# **Scheduling is just the beginning…**\n\nWe're not stopping at scheduling. Our vision is to build the **all-in-one healthcare workforce management system** — think **Rippling for healthcare**. This includes:\n\n* Payroll & time tracking\n* Credentialing & compliance\n* Hiring, staffing analytics & workforce optimization\n\n# **The Backstory: Why we’re building this**\n\nWe’ve seen this problem firsthand — we all grew up seeing **doctors in our family** who have struggled with chaotic schedules, last-minute changes, and burnout. Hearing their frustrations made us realize how **outdated the system is**, and we knew technology could do better.\n\nWhile still undergrads at Harvard, we decided to team up and tackle this problem. Now, more than 1000 doctors across Europe and the US use YouShift to create their schedules.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88083&key=user_uploads/1884173/df3b1762-ce6d-45dc-8c96-42423fc5be40)\n\n**Our Ask**\n\nWe’re looking to connect with **hospital leaders and medical teams** struggling with scheduling.\n\nIf you or someone in your network deals with scheduling challenges, let’s talk!

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. They also join our multi-state provider network, making it simple to go in-network with major insurers.\n\nBehind the scenes, HealthSpark deploys AI agents to handle the manual workflows that normally require a team of back-office staff. Our agents process unstructured paperwork like referrals, insurance cards, and faxed records, navigate insurance portals to verify benefits, and coordinate with other providers and health systems over phone and fax.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85620&key=user_uploads/465224/4dc806d7-f1ae-4c7d-913b-76d47cb61060)\n\n# Our Ask\n\nAre you a physical therapist considering going independent, or already in private practice and looking for support?

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!

We provide a world-class training plan, then adapt it based on your life, progress, and recovery to keep you on track. \n\n\\\n[LINK TO DEMO VIDEO](https://youtube.com/shorts/PgPKkJqbYs0)\n\nASK: [TRY IT NOW ON THE APP STORE](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hybrd-get-faster-stronger/id6670271875)\n\n\\\n**Introducing HYBRD Brain**\n\nHYBRD Brain is our AI-powered coach built on top of HYBRD's structured training plans. 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.

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.

Astro generates the prompts, agent graphs, and tools needed to handle even the most complex browser workflows.\n2. **Deploy:** Developers drop in a single code snippet to call the agent through Asteroid’s API/SDKs.\n3. **Supervise:** Monitor live sessions, review recordings, track performance, and trigger human-in-the-loop via Slack when needed.\n4. **Improve:** Non-technical teams update prompts and ship new agent versions instantly as workflows change.\n\n### **Ship your first agent today**\n\n**Astro** **is fully available, try it for free [here](https://platform.asteroid.ai/) or book a [demo](https://cal.com/asteroidai/15min) with a founder!**", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/OzN-asteroid-ai-builder-for-complex-browser-agents", "votes": 228, "created_at": "2025-12-09T22:31:58.000Z" }, { "id": 88012, "title": "Asteroid: Browser Agents with Human Oversight", "tagline": "Browser workflow automation for regulated industries", "body": "**Asteroid makes browser automation seamless for regulated industries.** Not only developers but also non-technical teams can **build and run our browser agents with Asteroid**, turning 45-minute manual tasks into 2-minute automated processes.\n\nOur browser agents can navigate legacy portals, fill out forms, and extract data—all without brittle scripts, high costs, or maintenance headaches.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=88012&key=user_uploads/1651915/50a0915f-b720-4fff-923b-0b84e6017098)\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nTraditional automation tools like RPA are too expensive for non-enterprise customers, **costing $10,000 per automation**. Meanwhile, scaleups especially in high-risk industries like insurance or healthcare lack the resources to maintain Selenium or Playwright scripts, as these frequently break due to UI changes and the automations need to be extremely reliable.\n\n### **The Solution**\n\nBrowser agents bridge this gap—offering the flexibility of scripting with the reliability of RPA. With 2025’s computer use models, **web automation is now 100x cheaper and more robust, unlocking thousands of new use cases.**\n\n### **How It Works**\n\n**Asteroid transforms any browser task into an agentic workflow.** Simply show Asteroid what to do—via a screen recording, SOP, or written instructions—and get an agentic workflow. You can then call it through our web UI or API.\n\nBehind the scenes, Asteroid spins up a secure, headless browser, handles authentication, executes workflows, and seamlessly integrates human review when needed—all without burdening your developers.

Harbera is AI software that helps healthcare organizations keep their providers - physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners - in-network with insurers and compliant.\n\n\n\n## Without credentials doctors can’t treat patients\n\nCredentialing is the bureaucratic process of verifying a providers’ qualifications and contracting them with insurance plans. The 900+ insurance companies across the U.S. have different and ever-changing credentialing requirements, and providers need to be re-credentialed regularly. \n\nKeeping providers credentialed is critical. If a provider falls out-of-network, it can take months to get credentialed again. Health systems are often unaware that a provider has fallen out-of-network until claims start getting denied, leading to disrupted patient care and billions in lost revenue.\n\n## Monitoring credentialing is hard and gets harder at scale\n\nThere’s a lot that administrators need to keep track of: updates to insurance plan requirements (often mailed), license and certification expirations, malpractice sanctions, re-credentialing timelines, and more. Today, many back-office teams at hospitals and clinic groups use spreadsheets, filing cabinets, or even repurpose tools like Salesforce to track credentialing.\n\nHere’s why monitoring is challenging for organizations:\n\n* A telehealth company that accepts 10 insurance plans and works with 100 therapists across 30 states needs to track up to 30,000 statuses.\n* A dental group working with 200 dentists needs to track 8,000 statuses. (Dentists are enrolled in over 40 insurance plans on average.)\n\n## What we’re doing\n\nWe are making credentialing easy. Our software integrates with a healthcare organization’s existing systems to continuously monitor and proactively re-credential providers across states and insurance plans. We keep administrators in the loop so providers never fall out-of-network. We make onboarding new providers seamless with real-time document validation. We analyze credentialing trends to identify revenue growth opportunities and optimize staffing.\n\n## About us\n\nWe’re best friends from college.

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.

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

We’re [Dmitry](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrykarpov/), [Sergey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yudovskiy/), and [Alex](https://www.linkedin.com/in/odinalex/) — co-founders of [Adentris](https://www.adentris.com/).\n\n**TL;DR:**\n\nEvery year, **250 million insurance claims — worth billions of dollars — are denied due to documentation errors**. Many are never recovered. We connect directly to hospital EHRs, monitor clinical staff activity logs in real time, and use AI agents to detect and fix compliance issues before they become risks. **Since the beginning of YC, we’ve reached $54k ARR** and have a growing number of commercial pilots with hospitals and clinics across the U.S. and PoCs with healthcare enterprises.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrcEY8WgmSk\n\n**Problem:**\n\nOne small documentation mistake — like recording a medication time incorrectly — can destroy a family’s finances.\n\nThese errors are often made by exhausted clinicians after 12-hour shifts and are caught by automated insurance systems that instantly deny the claim.\n\n**Hospitals don’t discover the problem until it's too late** — after the claim is denied, the audit triggered, or the reputation damaged.\n\nDocumentation errors are the invisible threat in modern healthcare. They’re not caused by negligence, but by broken systems: cluttered interfaces, overworked staff, and legacy EHRs that make it easy to click the wrong time, forget a discharge note, or miss a required signature.\n\n**And it’s not just claims** — these small errors lead to failed audits, regulatory fines, delayed discharges, and increased burnout.\n\nHospitals end up with compliance teams that are reactive — chasing mistakes days or weeks after they happened, often without resolution. The cost isn’t just money. It’s morale, trust, and patient safety.\n\n**Solution:**\n\nAdentris is an AI compliance autopilot that prevents small documentation errors from becoming costly disasters in real time.\n\nWe integrate directly with hospital EHRs, monitor clinical activity in real time, and use AI agents to detect and fix issues — like missed discharge notes or wrong medication times — before they trigger claim denials or audits.\n\nWhen a problem is found, our AI opens a quick conversation with the responsible staff member to confirm and correct it immediately.\n\n**We don’t just alert**. We resolve — and help hospitals run smoother, reduce pressure on teams, and recover revenue that would otherwise be lost.\n\n**What Experts Are Saying:**\n\n\"Adentris’s proactive approach is a game‑changer in reducing preventable errors and enabling real‑time accountability in care delivery.”\n\n— [Joel N.H.

This is [Ben](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin--rubin/) and [Yining](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yining-z/) from [Norra](https://www.linkedin.com/company/norra-io/), the AI equipment operations platform for nursing facilities.\n\nTL;DR: Norra uses AI and real-time tracking to give nursing facilities operational intelligence they've never had.\n\n🚨**The problem:**\n\nNursing facilities are facing an existential crisis. With the aging population, demand is surging but they can't keep up. Medicare cuts coupled with inefficient operations mean that over 50% of facilities lose money and are struggling to keep their doors open, all while facing a massive impending staff shortage.\n\nFacilities run blindly with zero operational intelligence. They’re scrambling to manage equipment lifecycles, discovering things are broken too late (leading to failed audits), and over-purchasing because they don’t know what they have. This operational chaos costs each facility over $100K and 1,000 hours of staff time per year, time that could be spent caring for patients.\n\n💡**The solution:**\n\n\n\nWith custom hardwares, Norra creates a digital twin of their entire facility, giving staff complete visibility into everything happening on the ground. With all of this data, we are able to use AI to transform the operational chaos into proactive decision making. Instead of reacting to equipment going into disrepair or overpurchasing equipment due to lack of visibility, staff now get actionable insights to prevent waste before it happens.\n\nWhat it actually means: Preventative maintenance reminders and tracking, Intelligent and automated purchasing workflows, Insights to improve utilization and cut costs\n\n**⚡Impact:** \\\n\\\nWe've cut our first facilities' rental spend by 70% and projected to save them $100K+ this year.\n\n**👥 About Us:**\n\nBen and Yining met two years ago at NASA building astronaut operation software. They are two roommates turned cofounders passionate about using AI to make a real impact in healthcare. \n\nBen has spent 1000+ hours in hospitals and nursing facilities seeing first hand how broken their operations are.\\\n\\\nYining built applied AI solutions at MD Anderson Cancer Center, experiencing its potential to revolutionize healthcare.\n\n**🤝 Our Ask:**\n\nWe’re looking to connect with healthcare executives interested in modernizing their operations.

Each of us watched someone we love slip through the cracks of today’s healthcare system. 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?

Employers cut 10-20% of their annual spend. Employees get concierge healthcare they love.", "body": "# **⏳TL/DR**\n\nRovi helps employees access high-quality, cost-effective healthcare. 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. Reach out to [santosh@rovihealth.com](mailto:santosh@rovihealth.com).\n2. **Individuals:** [**Join our beta**](https://rovi.health/) to try our AI care concierge. Rovi will find you great in-network doctors whenever you need care. Virtual care coming soon.\n\n## **👬🏾 Our team**\n\nWe're brothers on a mission to build AI-native health insurance that members love.\n\n**Santosh** was previously building Cedar's affordability products, scaling to millions in ARR by closing enterprise deals with the country's largest hospital systems. Before that, he led a 30-person GTM & Customer Success team at AngelList. He’s also a licensed health insurance broker.\n\n**Tarun** built foundational AI models to predict extreme weather events at UChicago, where he earned a Master's in AI and high-performance computing.

Nearly six in ten U.S. adults own a wearable or connected health device, and nearly one in three used an AI chatbot for health questions. People are generating more health data than ever and actively looking for help understanding it, but their data and guidance still live in separate places. \n\nWe saw this firsthand as family members struggled to piece together glucose readings for diabetes and blood tests for cardiovascular risk, all while juggling a pile of fitness, nutrition, and health-tracking apps that never talked to each other. \n\nPeople increasingly turn to ChatGPT or Claude for answers, but without continuous context to their health, the advice is often generic, incomplete, and difficult to track over time.\n\n**Our solution:** \n\nIllume creates one home for your health and gives you a personal health companion you can text. \n\nToday, you can: \n\n* Connect your wearable and automatically sync sleep, activity, and recovery data \n* Text Illume photos of your meals to log and understand your nutrition \n* Record workouts and track your training \n* Upload bloodwork and lab results \n* Ask questions about your health using the context of your own data \n* Receive proactive insights about what changed, what it might mean, and what to do next\n\nFor example, you can ask: \n\n* “Why am I so exhausted today? Make me a dashboard of all the relevant metrics!” \n* “How has eating late affected my sleep?”\n* “Am I recovering well enough to train? Run a regression!”\n* “What should I focus on before my next blood test?”\n\nIllume connects patterns across your data that individual platforms can’t see, giving you a more complete picture of your health instead of another isolated score or dashboard. \n\nYou can text your Illume agent for quick answers or use the platform to explore your data, trends, and history in greater depth.\n\n**Our mission**\n\nOur long-term vision is to make healthcare more proactive, continuous, and personalized. \n\nBy combining continuous biometrics with nutrition, training, blood panels, and eventually genetic risk, Illume could help surface meaningful changes earlier and help people understand their susceptibility to conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. \n\nWe want to help people move from asking, “What happened?” to understanding what may be changing and what they can do about it. \n\n**Who’s it for:** Illume is initially designed for people who are proactive about their health and longevity- especially lifters, biohackers, and anyone already using wearables, blood panels, CGMs, nutrition trackers, or genetic testing.  \n\n**Who we are:** We’re three MIT graduates who met in freshman year! \n\n[Pari Latawa](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paridhilatawa/): MIT BS & MEng in CS + Molecular Biology.

That guess is expensive.\n\n• In our data, the lowest-premium plan was the lowest-cost option in **0 of 2,000 simulated years**.\n\n• In one example, the cheaper sticker would have cost **$8,052 more** in a single bad year.\n\n• That's one person. Multiply the risk across a family. Across a company.\n\n• This year alone, **four million Americans** found out what their plans actually cost — and walked away from coverage.\n\nWe compute.\n\n**Surely — the cost engine**\n\nSurely ranks all plans by what they'll actually cost: premiums, deductibles, drug tiers, networks, out-of-pocket caps. Every number sourced from government filings.\n\n**Inveto — the denial workbench**\n\nClinics upload a denial and the clinical record; Inveto produces source-cited, physician-signed appeals and supported prior authorizations.

Nobody else has both.**\n\n**Why now**\n\nIn 2028, health plans stop renewing automatically: 20 million+ people will re-choose coverage every single year — the largest forced re-shop in the history of American health insurance. $150 billion a year in premiums, re-decided annually.\n\nAnd employers are next. The federal government projects **800,000 companies and 11 million+ people** will switch to ICHRA, where employees choose their own plans. That's a **trillion-dollar shift**.

Your biology is the prompt.**\n\n**TL;DR:** RonanRx personalizes GLP-1s like Ozempic and other peptides to _your_ biology, because you are not average. Connect your lab results, wearable data, and medical history once. Our HIPPA compliant Al turns them into a plan which a licensed doctor prescribes, adjusts every cycle, and ships to your door. Start with a text at [**RonanRx.com**](http://RonanRx.com).\n\n### **Big Pharma Makes 1 Drug for Millions.**\n\nPeptides are the most personalizable medicine we have, and everyone has different biology. GLP-1s like Ozempic help you lose weight. Others help you recover faster, sleep better, live longer. Telemedicine often prescribes them like a vending machine: fill out a quiz, a doctor you’ll never meet rubber-stamps it, and you get the same molecule at the same dose as everyone else. Nobody reads your data and adjusts when your body responds differently than the “average patient.” That’s not medicine, it’s a spreadsheet.\n\n### **How RonanRx works**\n\nConnect your health data once, and we run the complete feedback loop for personalized medicine:\n\n* **Your biology in one place.** We sync your labs, wearables, medical history, and treatment response into a single health profile.\n* **AI turns data into a plan.** It reads how _you_ are responding and proposes the next move: dose, formulation, what to add.\n* **A real doctor decides.** Every prescription is made and adjusted by doctor looking at the same data you are. The AI proposes, the doctor prescribes.\n* **Delivered to your door,** and every outcome improves your next protocol.\n\nInstead of treating the average patient, we personalize your treatment continuously as your body changes.\n\n### **Why us**\n\nBuilding a healthcare company isn’t for tourists. We’re native to the space, and passionate about fixing what’s wrong. Our founders have built and exited multiple companies, raised over $100M, and built a $50M U.S. medical manufacturing business. Lloyd Armbrust is a 2x YC founder, 3 exits, 6 kids, and the oldest founder in S26. Emily Colman spent a decade in healthcare sales, most recently at Eli Lilly, supporting weight-management for hundreds of physicians and millions of patients.\n\n### **Find out what peptides can do for you**\n\n**Start texting us at [RonanRx.com](http://RonanRx.com)** and become the maximum version of yourself.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=107336&key=user_uploads/26799/336818ca-7507-4c5a-aaaf-9909502fdeed)\n\n_Doctors and clinics: we white-label this entire stack so you can offer personalized peptide care under your own name.

After that, the price only goes up**.  \n\n\n\n## ❌ The problem\n\nAnthea’s sister spent eight years chasing her eczema.\n\nThe cause turned out to be dust in the carpet.\n\nNo one caught it because no one was recording anything. Her skin was reacting to her sleep, her home, her products, the air around her, and none of it existed as data. Every dermatologist that took months to see started from zero. Every product she tried was a guess.\n\nThat is the **$190B** skincare industry in one story. It runs on guessing.\n\nLumeria ends that: it captures the missing data layer that gives you the power to understand and own your skin's health data, from home.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=109979&key=user_uploads/3470868/08058377-6a96-414b-b03e-44ff36f8622a)\n\n## 🔬 How it works\n\nThe Lumoscope shrinks the multi-spectrum imaging dermatology clinics use into a clip for your phone. Press it against your skin and see yourself in three kinds of light: true color (RGB), UV, and cross-polarized.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=109979&key=user_uploads/3470868/76776eef-52f9-4416-827c-36c74760f8dd)\n\nFor the first time, you see what your mirror can't: a breakout building days before it surfaces, sun damage hiding under flawless-looking skin, where inflammation is building up.\n\nEach scan becomes an objective read (hydration, redness, evenness, pigmentation, texture, pores) plus a score out of 100 and a skin age, so you can understand your progress.\n\nTrack them over time, and Lumi tells you exactly what to do. \n\n* It finds the cause, linking your breakouts to habits you'd never think of, from your sleep to your cycle to the pillowcase you forgot to wash. \n* It recommends products from a database of 18000+ products + ingredients, matched to what your scans actually show works.\n* It hands your dermatologist 90 days of images, trends, and context in one tap.\n* And it compounds: every scan adds to a history and increased understanding of your skin’s relevant context.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=109979&key=user_uploads/3470868/c36570ca-4042-47bc-beb4-5f1a27014d6a)\n\n It works across every skin tone. It is private and encrypted by default. \n\n## 👥 Why we built this\n\nAnthea, our CTO, lived with this problem: suffering from eczema that would not heal, five months to reach a dermatologist, four misdiagnoses. She is an engineer who worked on computational biology at Google and Boehringer Ingelheim. Maryanne, our CEO, is a skincare creator with 25M+ views across her UGC portfolio, exited her first biotech company by 19, and still could not explain her own breakouts until Lumeria. We understand the helplessness people feel with their skin, so we built what was needed.\n\nWe are patent pending, shipping in Fall 2026, and built on 150+ interviews and 2 clinical partnerships with dermatologists and patients.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=109979&key=user_uploads/3470868/d7da4795-da8c-4edd-8c96-58e540656067)\n\n## 🚀 Why preorder right now\n\nThis is the best moment there will ever be to own a Lumoscope:\n\n* **$199 until August 16.** The founding price is the lowest it will ever be, and it will go up to 329 otherwise. \n* **Founding preorders are first in line.** Units ship Sep - Oct 2026, ahead of general release.\n* **3 months of Premium free** plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.\n* **Founding member, not a ticket number:** a direct line to us and a real say in what we build next.\n* **Your skin data compounds from day one:** the earlier you set your baseline, the sooner your recommendations are built on your skin instead of averages.\n\nPreorder now at \n\nSee what Lumi has to say about your skin, and own your skin’s story today. ☀️\n\n💛 Reach out to us: [maryanne@lumeria.skin](mailto:maryanne@lumeria.skin) & [anthea@lumeria.skin](mailto:anthea@lumeria.skin)", "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Sbr-lumeria-what-if-there-was-an-oura-ring-for-skin", "votes": 26, "created_at": "2026-08-12T14:00:00.255Z" } ] }, { "id": 35125, "name": "Altair Health", "slug": "altair-health", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/54aa8da5f81192f8484dda70b284e56e5b9cb6a6.png", "website": "https://www.altair-health.com", "all_locations": "Austin, TX, USA", "long_description": "Altair is an AI-native medical billing service for independent practices.

I'm [Nick Soman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicksoman/), cofounder of [Decent](https://www.decent.com/) (F26) with [Andrew Budker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abudker/).\\\n\\\n\n\n\\\n**The problem**\\\nYou choose your company health plan once a year at renewal, and then nobody touches it for twelve months. All year long you overpay without seeing it. A one-time surgery gets built into next year's rates as if it’s recurring. You get billed for employees who left months ago. Your team uses the ER for things that primary care could have handled for a fraction of the cost.\\\n\\\nI learned this the hard way. A carrier raised my old company's rates 27% in January because an employee had started an expensive treatment the February before. They told me it was my data and my fault for not looking. Almost all of that cost was waste. She could have been treated at home for 30% less. An equally effective treatment that cost 25% less could have been free to her. Optimized dosing could have saved 20% more, with fewer side effects and no negative impact on her health.\\\n\\\n**How Decent is different**\\\nYour health plan should get better all year, not once a year. You don't buy a year of ads or a rack of servers up front anymore, but health insurance is stuck on a single annual renewal. Decent is an AI-native health insurance broker for US companies with 2 to 200 employees. We compare every way to cover your team, show what each one costs, and then keep improving your plan all year, for your company and for your employees. The insurance company you choose pays us, so we’re free to you.\\\n\\\n**Why trust us**\\\nAndrew and I met 16 years ago building the Kindle at Amazon. He spent the last several years leading engineering for Metamate, Meta's internal AI platform. I've started and sold two companies and raised $42M. Before this I built and ran level-funded plans, PEOs, and association health plans, with a Net Promoter Score of 79 vs. the industry average of 14, so I know what good looks like and where the system breaks. \\\n\\\nThe full story of why I came back to this, and why it's called Decent, is here: \\\n\\\n**Traction**\\\nAI is doing 89% of our brokerage work and climbing, and we just caught a one-time surgery driving 46% of a client's claims spend and kept it out of next year's rates. 67 companies are working with us so far, and many more are close behind.\\\n\\\n**What you can do now**\n\n* If you or someone you know runs or helps run a US company with roughly 2 to 200 people renewing by January 1, 2027, book 15 minutes with me to find the best plan for you: \n* Want to look first?

It also answers every inbound call 24/7 and verifies insurance.\n\n**The problem** Every dental practice has hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue sitting idle in their patient management system. It comes from overdue cleanings, unscheduled treatment plans and insurance benefits that are about to expire. The front desk knows these patients are there, but they’re juggling check-ins, phones, and insurance all day, so these calls never get made. Automated texts are easy to ignore, and patients who call in often end up at voicemail.\n\n**What we do**\n\n* Find the patients who should be coming back by analyzing the practice’s data\n* Send personalized calls and texts using AI to book them into the schedule\n* Answer every inbound call 24/7, so no new patient goes to voicemail\n* Verify insurance benefits within seconds\n\n[Video here](https://youtu.be/pxs4TejXZ1Q) \n\n**Customer Results** \n\nWe are live in 16 locations across the US, including one of the biggest independent groups in Manhattan.
