Dear all,

We are a young startup working towards solving data access problems for patients in the US.

We think that patients get treated very poorly in the current ecosystem, and we want to change it.

As of now, we have built an app that lets you access your healthcare data, and further provides relevant insights.

I want to discuss the problem with you to learn and build better. Not sure if this is the right place to do it, but if you have ever sought access to your healthcare data, please let me know. I would love to learn from you.

Warmly,

Carrkarot

    Just being honest here. First, I wouldn’t trust a startup with my health data. Data sharing and being hacked would be the top concerns. Maybe others may not feel that way.

    Moving beyond that, how would having my data in one place help me get treated better? Let’s say someone has all their data. How does that help get earlier doctor’s appointments? How does that help with prior auth?

    If you aren’t in the US, I would pivot very quickly. There’s a ton of regulations and red tape and chances of success are fairly slim.
