About Galen AI
Summary
Galen AI builds a personal health companion app for patients managing chronic or complex conditions. It pulls together medical records from hundreds of healthcare institutions and data from wearable devices into a single view, then uses that context to answer health questions, surface proactive recommendations, and provide on-demand support. This replaces the experience of waiting days for a care team response or settling for generic search results that know nothing about the patient's actual history.
Go-to-market
The product targets individual consumers directly and is launching as a mobile app on the App Store, currently in beta.
From the Y Combinator listing
Personal AI healthcare agent, powered by clinical and wearable data.
Galen is an AI-powered personal healthcare companion. We enable patients to securely connect their medical records from over 800 healthcare institutions across more than 12,000 locations in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. We also connect with over 20 popular wearable devices including Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Dexcom, bringing all your medical records and health data into one unified space. We founded Galen because for over four years, Viraj struggled to navigate several conditions related to chronic low back pain. He often found himself waiting weeks for responses from his care team, received little guidance or education about new diagnoses, and was overwhelmed trying to manage overlapping conditions and medications. His experiences are not unique. Our healthcare system is overloaded and fragmented, and often, patients are left to navigate their care on their own. Everyday there are nearly 1 billion health-related Google searches, but the responses to such queries are generic and impersonalized, because the searches lack any insight into a users personal health background. By leveraging your own data and state-of-the art LLM memory capabilities, Galen delivers personalized insights, proactive health recommendations, and 24/7 on-demand medical support — empowering patients to be an active part of their health team. We are a consumer app in beta testing and will be available on the App Store soon!
