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

    1. Who do you envision paying for your product? The majority of costs for patients is paid for/expected to be paid for by insurance, not the consumer themselves.

    2. How does your offering differentiate from Apple Health? They allow you to aggregate your medical information with your digital health data at no additional cost to the user. They have arguably the best privacy features for users.

    3. How will you support the various healthcare providers across our fractured healthcare system? Are you working on integrations via an aggregator like HumanAPI? Or are you building bespoke integrations directly with providers?

    4. How will you get users? Who will encourage your users to download and use your app?

    5. The Healthcare Provider ecosystem has been going through a massive consolidation phase over the past few years. Each of them typically offer the ability to not only collect your records from other centers (combination of technology and Human Resources) but also typically leverage Epic or Cerner’s patient facing portals that aggregates all of their record information alongside appointment bookings and communications with physicians.

    6. Have you considered focusing on a singular healthcare system, within a specific geographic region, targeting a very specific demographic of patients that often need to aggregate their records across multiple providers?

    One thing I did ultimately realize is that since the US healthcare system is predominately for-profit it often causes the majority of systems to prioritize cost-savings or revenue generation over the ability to make patients healthier. You’ll need to be able to prove all three if you wanted to sell to providers.
