We deliver personalized health education and care coordination through text messaging — reaching patients where they already are, in the language they speak, at the moments that matter most. Unlike technology built for large health systems and adapted down, CareMessage is designed from the ground up for organizations serving low-income, historically marginalized communities.\r\n\r\nFounded in 2012, CareMessage has now engaged more than 22 million people across 45 states, partnering with Federally Qualified Health Centers, Free and Charitable Clinics, and Tribal Health Organizations to produce measurable improvements in health equity — and we publish the evidence to prove it. As a nationally-recognized social enterprise we reinvest revenue into impact. We believe driving profit and purpose are not trade-offs, they are the same strategy.\r\n\r\nCareMessage has been recognized by TIME 100 Most Influential Company for Impact in Equality, Inc. Best in Business for Social Good, and recognized at the World Economic Forum for Social Entrepreneurship.

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 are Nathan, Alan, and Gloria from Health Harbor.**\n\n**TL;DR:** Private practices spend hours every week talking with insurance trying to determine fee coverage so patients don't end up with a surprise bill. Health Harbor uses AI to automate billing for private practices by having an AI call insurance on their behalf. Check us out: [https://healthharbor.co](https://healthharbor.co/)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73410&key=user_uploads/1322783/392081ad-49f0-4086-a585-4d1df7292820)\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nImagine spending almost 100 million hours on the phone with medical insurance. Trust us, medical providers can. Over 230,000 private practices in the US spend more than 8 hours every week sitting on the line with insurance trying to determine the amount insurance will cover.\n\n### **The Solution**\n\nHealth Harbor relieves doctors’ offices from needing to call insurance. Instead they can simply submit requests through Health Harbor’s HIPAA certified portal.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=73410&key=user_uploads/1322783/81fa57fd-de79-4030-9fe3-8e8d20fa99ee)\n\nFurthermore, by enabling admin to quickly request coverage on specific procedure codes, Health Harbor allows physicians to perform more procedures in fewer visits thus compressing revenue cycles from 4 weeks to 1 week.\n\n### **The Team**\n\nWe are Nathan, Alan and Gloria. Nathan comes from an early stage startup, Liminal Sciences, that went public with Hyperfine four years after its inception where he aligned the team on product strategy and built the product as a designer and software engineer. In Alan’s past life, he wrote software for AI systems like speaker identification at Meta’s Portal and prediction of occluded objects at Nuro. As for Gloria, she planned multi-year growth trajectories while at Bain and the Gates Foundation. \n\n### **The Ask**\n\n1.

We simplify Medicaid application filing so consumers can easily check eligibility, enroll, and renew their coverage.\n\n**The Problem**\n\nToday, \\~90M Americans on Medicaid face acute challenges with eligibility screenings and (re)enrollment. 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. Almost 40% of children in the US are covered under Medicaid/CHIP.\n* Nikita started her career at Oscar Health and spent the past 2 years at Truepill (YC S17) building pharmacy solutions for community health centers and FQHCs that served Medicaid patients.

Some of them outsource it to a billing agency which charges them anywhere from 2% to _10% of total revenue_. (that’s crazy!)\n\nThat on its own is expensive, but there’s also another problem: Since processing bills is expensive, up to **30%** of all claim revenue is denied by health insurance companies, and no follow up is made by the biller to fight it.\n\n**The Solution**\n\nDoctors in the US right now are being charged up to 10% on their bottom line and losing up to 30% of their top line revenue.\n\nWell, we’ve figured out how to fix this problem, by making it a lot cheaper to do billing. We’ve figured out how to do it (nearly) all with AI. We have a team of human billers to do manual checks, but they can process orders of magnitude more claims than a biller doing it manually (which is all of them right now).\n\nThis means we can not only charge lower fees, but also we have more bandwidth to fight that 30% denial rate! So we typically end up making doctors more money.\n\nWe’ve got decades of billing experience on our team, and are already deployed with clinics and hospitals in the US processing millions of dollars in annual claim revenue.\n\n**Offer for Doctors**\n\nIf you or somebody you know is a doctor, we can help them make up to 30% more money every year!\n\nWe have a limited offer for the next 10 clinics/hospitals we bring on: **We’ll do your billing as a white-glove service for a flat 1.8% fee (+ no onboarding fee)**.

Post-pandemic, Britain's most treasured institution is in crisis. **Patient satisfaction is at a 25-year low and 1/7 of staff are in the process of leaving, citing mental and physical exhaustion.**\n\nLonger lives and an ageing population are steadily increasing the complexity and pressure of providing healthcare. **The increasing demand is unsustainable unless the cost of providing care can be massively reduced.**\n\nThe largest single cost is the staff. The NHS pays a $93bn wage bill, for 470k administrators, 740k clinicians, and 50k managers\\*\\*. All of whom spend an eye-watering amount of time on manual repetitive processes: data entry, summarisation, filing, scheduling..._the list goes on._\n\nThe current plan is “hire more staff”, but recruitment isn’t the answer.\n\n### **Solution**\n\nHealthtech-1 uses the latest technology to automate repetitive processes for healthcare organisations.

This allows them to concentrate on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.\n\n# **The Problem:** _\"Wait, I thought I'd be saving lives—not excel files?!\"_\n\nDoctors spend almost 20% of their working hours (and plenty more in additional hours) doing administrative work. We saw this first-hand with our parents and siblings who are doctors that devoted their lives to help people only to spend a large percentage of their time in Excel.\n\nThis inefficiency stems from a gap in healthcare software. While modern solutions heavily focus on hospital-patient interactions, they often neglect a connection just as important: the relation between the hospital to provider. Because of the dozens of rules and regulations, in addition to the lack of effective tools, providers are forced into doing complex back-office tasks that consume valuable time and energy.\n\n# **The Solution:**\n\n\n\n(Note: our previous name was Docflow)\n\nAfter initially starting at Harvard’s Psychiatry Residency program, Durate has been able to handle dozens complex rules, regulations, and program-specific information to safely create the most efficient program schedules. This centralized source of truth is vital for providing critical information to administrative tasks such as managing graduation requirements, processing payroll, ensuring compliance, and much more. By streamlining these processes, Durate empowers programs to operate more efficiently and focus on what truly matters—delivering incredible patient care.\n\nHere’s some more ⬇️\n\n**Customizable, Simple, and Intelligent Software:**\n\nWith AI, we’re able to add a layer of customizability in administrative software not previously seen before. Now, when you want to factor in John, who loves working Friday shifts, or Mary who is on Maternity leave — or any of the various things your previous software just could not understand (by anything, we truly mean anything) — Durate can do that with ease in just plain English.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85374&key=user_uploads/1617168/cd2cee17-4516-4135-8a20-3d04705db4aa)\n\nDurate is a simple solution for hospital’s most complex problems.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85374&key=user_uploads/1617168/69656061-f787-45c1-9db9-40f64b948efd)\n\n# **Moving Forward:**\n\nAlthough we initially focused on scheduling for residency programs, our main goal is to tackle as much complexity as possible in administrative work. We believe we can fundamentally transform extremely complex administrative tasks, allowing software to handle the work for you with ease.\n\n# **Our Team**\n\nMichael and Ben met during their first few weeks at Rice University where they lived, built software, and studied applied mathematics and computer science together before deciding to drop out.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=85374&key=user_uploads/1617168/2d31980c-009e-44a5-8b0e-1b4a147b5084)\n\n[**Michael**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mounajjed/) - Michael grew up in Madison, WI—the headquarters of the largest medical software company in the US—born to two physician parents and grew up hearing about its shortcomings. His mom works in the internal medicine residency program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Michael founded his first company, Calceus Mining, in high school, building and optimizing Ethereum rigs which went on to process tens of millions of dollars in transactions. He was inducted into Wisconsin’s Business Hall of Fame at 16 years old.\n\n[**Ben**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-franklin-liu/) - Ben’s sister is a chief resident at Cambridge Health Alliance, dedicating extensive time to scheduling residents. As the former president of Rice’s largest software engineering group, Ben has years of experience building automation products seen and used by hundreds of thousands of people.\n\n# **Our ask (and offer):**\n\nScheduling and administrative work aren’t relevant to just one kind of provider.

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.

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

We pull claims, EHR, pharmacy, lab, and hospital feeds into **one canonical record**, then run AI copilots that read and write to it: risk adjustment, Stars and quality, pharmacy, provider network, and care management, plus an AI data analyst you can ask anything in plain English. The copilots **do the operational work themselves**: capturing HCCs in real time, closing gaps once across every payer, and making outreach calls in the member’s language. HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 Type II, and RADV-defensible.\n\nWe’re live with a physician-led IPA in New York, one of the largest independent medical groups in the Northeast: **2,500+ hours saved** and higher CMS Star Ratings so far.\n\n▶️ Watch their story: \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103962&key=user_uploads/1494518/e873acc4-f206-4eca-8617-9bf7f70f3b62)\n\n_An AI agent works one gap end to end: provider office, pharmacy, the member in their language, the payer portal, then a live call.

The teams who own those contracts decide whether the org makes money, and they cannot operate:\n\n• Their data lives in 8 to 15 systems. By the time a problem surfaces, the submission window has closed.\n\n• Risk calls a member. Quality calls the same member. The practice calls again, sometimes in a language the member doesn’t speak.\n\n• The best predictive model is worthless if it never reaches the provider.\n\n• The rules keep moving. Hybrid HEDIS is retiring into ECDS volumes many times higher per measure, and the V28 phase-in costs the average MA plan about 3% of RAF.\n\nEvery new gap gets a new point vendor, each with its own portal, data model, and login. These teams do not need another point tool. They need an operating system.\n\n## **🛠️ What we built**\n\nOne canonical record, with an AI workforce next to every team. Six copilots:\n\n• **Risk Adjustment:** real-time HCC capture with trumping logic and RADV-defensible chain of custody on every code.\n\n• **Quality and Stars:** gap closure unified across every payer, with year-round forecasting for the post-hybrid HEDIS world.\n\n• **Pharmacy and Part D:** PDC lift on the three triple-weighted measures that move Stars the most.\n\n• **Provider Network:** auto-built practice agendas that cut meeting prep from 90 minutes to 15.\n\n• **Care Management:** ADT-driven transitions-of-care worklists, with no duplicate calls across teams.\n\n• **AI Data Analyst:** plain-English questions against the record, in place of the BI ticket queue.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103962&key=user_uploads/1494518/13a2d9aa-5ac8-4ab4-bf2c-b61fe8bccb56)\n\n_Risk Adjustment: the agent works the EHR and payer portals like a person and captures a defensible HCC._\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103962&key=user_uploads/1494518/cfb57b8c-bf75-43d1-9dc3-d29da891d8e9)\n\n_AI Data Analyst: ask your RAF in plain English, get an answer and a chart in seconds._\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=103962&key=user_uploads/1494518/4bbf9afb-abc0-4221-9e5b-bf4602654e32)\n\n_Provider Network: reps walk in prepped, and the visit is captured into tasks automatically._\n\nIt runs on the systems VBC teams already use: Epic, Cerner, Athena, eCW, payer SFTP, PBM feeds, ADT, and labs, with SMART-on-FHIR overlays in Epic and Athena.

They cannot operate. Today:\n\n* Data lives in 12 places. By the time a problem surfaces, the submission window has closed.\n* Risk calls a member. Quality calls the same member. The practice calls again. Sometimes in a language the member doesn't speak.\n* The best predictive model is useless if it never reaches the provider.\n* Hybrid HEDIS is retiring. ECDS volumes run 35 to 75 times higher per measure. The old infra was not built for it.\n* V28 phase-in finishes in 2026. The average MA plan loses roughly 3% of RAF.\n\nPoint vendors keep stacking up. One for retrospective coding. One for HEDIS. One for adherence. One for ADT. Each with its own portal, its own data model, its own login.\n\nVBC teams need more than another point tool. They need an operating system.\n\n## 🛠️ Our Solution\n\nWe built Pelica, an AI operating system for value-based care. Three layers, six copilots, one canonical record.\n\n* **🌐 HIPAA + SOC 2 Type II:** Tenant-isolated, encrypted end-to-end, zero-retention with every LLM provider in use.\n* **🔌 Connects to every system:** Epic, Cerner, Athena, eCW, payer SFTP, PBM feeds, ADT, labs. SMART-on-FHIR overlays in Epic and Athena.\n* **⚡ Live in weeks, not quarters:** A new data source onboards in days. Copilots start working the day after.\n\nWhat Pelica can do:\n\n* **🧾 Risk Adjustment Copilot:** Real-time HCC capture with trumping logic, MAO-004 awareness, and RADV-defensible chain-of-custody on every code.\n* **⭐ Quality & Stars Copilot:** Unified gap closure across every payer, with year-round glide-path forecasting for the post-hybrid HEDIS world.\n* **💊 Pharmacy & Part D Copilot:** PDC lift on the three triple-weighted measures. The 5 points that separate 4-star from 2-star.\n* **🤝 Provider Network Copilot:** Auto-generated practice agendas. Meeting prep from 90 minutes to 15.\n* **🏥 Care Management Copilot:** ADT-driven TOC worklists, 5-day follow-up tracking, no duplicate calls across teams.\n* **📊 AI Data Analyst:** Plain-English questions against the canonical record. Replaces the BI ticket queue.\n\nA Director of Risk Adjustment told us: \"**Our data lives in twelve places. By the time we know there's a problem, the submission window has closed**.\" A Stars Program Manager told us: \"We are solving the same problem five times.\" Same root cause.

I’ve spent the last 5 years trying to address what I think is the most pressing problem in the country — addiction and mental health. Before YC, I ran a group doing on the ground overdose prevention work across the country. I also worked at the White House on Drug Policy.\n\n**Insurance companies love to scrutinize behavioral health treatment**, partially because it’s expensive (a single 30-day residential treatment episode can cost upwards of $50,000), and partially because proving medical necessity for behavioral health is a subjective process.\n\nBut behavioral health care _is_ medically necessary. **Drug overdose is the single biggest cause of death for young people in the US.** And there are too many stories of insurers denying people care, only for those individuals to later lose their lives to overdose.\n\nWe were in the summer ‘25 YC batch. Since then, we’ve been working with a small group of customers to develop a new product. I’m excited to announce it today.\\\n\\\n**Introducing: Perspectives Reclaim**\n\nBecause they’re under so much pressure from payors, behavioral health treatment programs currently spend an immense amount of resources and staff generating documentation and auditing it to be perfect. \\\n\\\nReclaim solves this by\n\n1. Reading tens of thousands of pages of charts every night\n2. Finding issues that can lead to insurance denials or other issues\n3. Tracking down which clinician made the error and emailing back and forth with them until it’s solved. \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post&id=101622&key=user_uploads/2329278/a7ccf9c3-cf38-409a-a8d4-9c4421623a19)\n\n\\\nIn each of our pilots, we’ve flagged and resolved hundreds of issues, from missing documents to drug tests that weren’t happening when they were supposed to, **leading to more approvals from payors, higher revenue for our clinics, and better outcomes for patients.**\n\nReclaim’s agent can also help provide evidence when fighting against payor clawbacks and can generate the insurance documentation used to argue for more days of care.\n\nIn the last 4 weeks since launching Reclaim, we’ve gone from **0 —> $250k cARR.** Our vision is to replace the $30B spent on the financial and administrative services that keep these clinics afloat and give that capacity back to care.\n\n**Asks**:\n\n1.

We're Eshan and Kyle, founders of Perspectives Health.\n\nWe help the millions of clinicians and clinical directors finally use AI inside the outdated EMR systems they've been stuck in.\n\nMost clinical record software works like Microsoft 95, has no modern APIs, and can't integrate with new tools. That leaves clinicians stuck doing endless manual computer work. \n\nBelieve it or not, most behavioral health clinicians will spend 5 years of their lives just typing notes!\n\n**The Problem**\n\n* 60%+ of clinicians work outside of major hospital systems.\n* Most of them use software that nobody can connect to.\n* This means they can't access life-changing AI software, which could automate notes, billing, scheduling, and more.\n\n**Our Solution**\n\n* Connects to any web-based EMR instantly. Yes, we mean any EMR.\n* Perspectives listens to sessions, writes notes better than a clinician, and populates them straight into any EMR. \n* No copy/paste. And we don't rely on browser agents, so our tool fills out any form in seconds, not minutes.\n\nAI is rapidly improving, but most of healthcare is locked out due to legacy systems. Perspectives bridges that gap, making AI usable immediately. Clinicians want to help people. Not to be drowned in manual work. We're building toward a future where clinicians never touch a keyboard for documentation again—where intelligent systems handle every workflow outside of patient care. \n\nThe first step is integrating seamlessly with outdated EMRs and filling in the critical workflows they lack.

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?

We make sure the AI that hospitals deploy on medical imaging keeps working after it goes live.\n\nLaunch video: \n\nWebsite: \n\n**The problem.** Hospitals are adopting medical imaging AI faster than ever. But once a model is live, almost no one can answer a basic question: is it still working? Models drift, a scanner upgrade or a shift in the patient population can quietly degrade accuracy, and performance often varies across patient groups. Most of that goes unseen today, and it's the hospital, not the vendor, that carries the risk.\n\n**What we built.** Lattice is a monitoring and governance layer for deployed imaging AI. We plug in beside the imaging pipeline as a read-only observer and continuously check each model: how well it agrees with the radiologist's read, whether it's drifting over time, and how it performs across patient subgroups. Then we turn that into the evidence hospitals need for safety, governance, and compliance. Lattice never touches patient care, it only watches, so if Lattice stops, care continues.\n\n**Why now.** AI is moving into clinical use under a wave of new expectations from the FDA, ONC, and the ACR, and they all point to the same gap: continuous post-deployment monitoring. Hospitals are on the hook for it and have almost no tooling to do it.\n\n**Our ask.** We'd love intros to health system and radiology leaders, CMIOs, and anyone running AI governance at a hospital, as well as imaging AI vendors who want their models monitored well in the field.

Our radiology-specific AI handles calls, online scheduling, faxes and e-referrals, guiding patients from referral and booking through to results and follow-up. We’re already live across more than 250 clinics, including networks operating 150+ locations.\n\n\n\n**What it does**\n\nRadiology scheduling is unusually complex. A valid appointment can depend on the modality, body region, contrast requirements, patient history, preparation instructions, equipment availability, staff qualifications and referring-provider details.\n\nThese rules are fragmented across legacy systems, spreadsheets and the tacit knowledge of experienced receptionists. Generic voice and scheduling tools struggle to bring them together.\n\nAvoca integrates with a radiology network’s existing systems and turns its workflows and operational knowledge into one automation layer:\n\n* **AI calls:** Answers inbound calls and runs outbound campaigns for bookings, rescheduling, cancellations, preparation questions and general enquiries.\n* **Online scheduling:** Lets patients upload their referral, complete the necessary clinical and safety questions, and find an appropriate appointment in real time.\n* **Fax and e-referral automation:** Ingests and interprets referrals, identifies missing information and contacts patients to complete their booking.\n* **Operational intelligence:** Encodes each network’s booking rules, rosters, staff capabilities, preferences and tacit knowledge so Avoca can safely fill available scanner capacity.\n* **Patient communications:** Guides patients through preparation, intake, reminders, results and follow-up using voice, text and email.\n\n**Why this matters**\n\nUp to 30% of calls into radiology centres go unanswered as patients wait on hold. Referrals arrive through phones, websites, faxes and electronic systems, leaving staff to manually interpret documents, contact patients and coordinate appointments across multiple systems.\n\nAt the same time, radiology providers face staff shortages, rising operating costs and reimbursement pressure. Missed calls and unprocessed referrals mean patients wait longer while valuable scanner capacity goes unfilled.\n\nAvoca helps networks capture more patient demand, reduce administrative work and complete more scans using their existing clinics, equipment and clinical systems.\n\n**Traction**\n\n* Partnered with 250+ clinics, including several of Australia’s largest radiology networks\n* Reduced call abandonment from approximately 30% to 2%\n* Patient satisfaction averaging 4.6/5\n* More than 80% booking conversion for eligible patient calls in major deployments\n* Integrated with leading radiology and healthcare systems, including Visage, Karisma, Comrad, Epic, Oracle Health and eClinicalWorks\n* Now expanding into the United States\n\n**Why we’re building this**\n\nI (Max) was the first employee at Afterpay and later founded and sold Serenade. Cam was previously a principal engineer at Honey Insurance and Macquarie. Across those experiences, we saw how much better an industry can operate when complex workflows are turned into simple, intuitive products.\n\nHealthcare is a chaotic mess of work that falls between systems: calls that go unanswered, referrals that sit in fax queues and operational knowledge that exists only in the heads of experienced staff.\n\nWe started with radiology because the scheduling complexity is exceptionally high and the consolidation of radiology clinics into large groups allowed us to focus our GTM efforts on just a few influential stakeholders who acutely feel the pain we’re solving for.\n\n**Our big** **ask**\n\n* Any introduction to a radiology network or health system chief executive (CEO, CIO, COO, CDO, CRO - even the new brand of CAIO - Chief AI Officer) would be hugely appreciated. We’re new to the US and eager to meet leaders tackling the patient access and scheduling challenges we’re solving.\n\nFinally, if you operate a radiology network - or know someone who does - we’d love to hear from you.
