November 12, 2024 Can AI really help end misdiagnosis?

I am not sure how many on this site can relate, but it took me 5 years to get diagnosed. On average it takes someone with a chronic or autoimmune condition 5-7 years. We created AI to assist in giving educational resources and action plans to patients to help cut this timeline down significantly. We provide scripts for how to talk to your doctor about symptoms, a report you can bring with to the doc of possible conditions and tests to run and offer communities and advocates to talk to.


Misdiagnosis is a huge problem in the US. We want to help patients be as prepared and educated as possible to advocate for themselves.

I went misdiagnosed for 5 years of my life. Doctors kept telling me it was just anxiety but it ended up being POTS, a chronic condition becoming more well known in women. It takes 7 years in avg. to get a diagnosis.
