Effective primary care is built on trusting relationships between a patient and members of their care team. But today’s busy healthcare environments leave little time for care team members to get to know the person behind the patient.
The Gap
Nearly one in three Americans live with a chronic illness, including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or coronary artery disease. These diseases contribute to a large share of preventable suffering, complications, and health care costs in the U.S. Often, effective management must consider elements of the patient’s life beyond lab tests and numbers: Does the patient have a job that makes taking medication on a regular schedule challenging? Are they juggling responsibilities that make it difficult to cook meals at home? How can care teams help address those barriers? Without a strong relationship between the care team and the patient, these critical details may get lost.

We’re building AI-powered solutions that can communicate with patients about what they want their care teams to know, collate that information into actionable insights, and help care team members use those insights to better connect with patients. We’re exploring how AI can lead to stronger, more trusting relationships and, in turn, better health outcomes.
By better understanding what’s important to patients, care teams are able to deliver more holistic, relational care that considers the patient as a whole person.
