.@tryprana is an AI primary doctor in your pocket that monitors you 24/7. Connect your wearables to your medical records to monitor for clinical drift. At any moment, you can instantly bring a Board-Certified MD into the chat to review your vitals, answer questions, and manage your care. Passive monitoring. Active care. http://pranadoc.com Congrats on the launch @_meerpatel, @smenon21, @vishrawal_! https://ycombinator.com/launches/PPg-pra…
.@dittobio discovers drugs for autoimmune diseases by harnessing parasite biology. Viruses, ticks, and worms have experimented over millions of years to create proteins that control the human immune system. Ditto Bio is using AI to identify these natural, drug-like proteins and engineer them into next-generation autoimmune therapies. Congrats on the launch @AdairLBorges, @Mezarque, and @emilycpierce! https://ycombinator.com/launches/PNb-dit…
Medspas are the fastest-growing segment in healthcare but still run on disconnected tools built before the AI era. Tepali (@usetepali) is the all-in-one AI-native OS to run your medspa. Congrats on the launch @vishnupathma and @chrisjabamani! https://ycombinator.com/launches/PZy-tep…
John: AI is actually doing very little for the economy right now. It's doing a lot for the markets, but in terms of the actual economic impact of AI, it's very low. If you add up the actual revenues from the AI labs, you're talking about $40 billion. Maybe there's like a 5x multiple on that, and so you're generating $200 billion of GDP on top of those tokens. But that's just not that much in the grand scheme of America's actual GDP. There's this disconnect between the market, which is pricing future GDP, future cash flows, future value creation. Then you have what is actually driving GDP, and then you have the actual workforce and what Americans do. What's actually holding up the American economy? It's healthcare jobs. The number of people that are software developers is less than 1% of America. The number of people that work at tech companies broadly is less than 10%.
Software engineering accounts for nearly 50% of all AI agent tool calls. Healthcare, legal, finance, and a dozen other verticals are barely touched, each under 5%. That's a hundred AI unicorns waiting to be built. https://garryslist.org/posts/half-the-ai…
.@PatientdeskAI is a patient-aware AI booking system for dental clinics that handles calls, bookings, payments, and real-time insurance verification to help dental clinics capture more revenue.

"A lot of intelligence is in how we reason, perceive, understand, and interact with the 3D spatial world." Fei-Fei Li says human intelligence boils down to two buckets—language and spatial—but spatial is the key to unlocking the robotic revolution: "The application is so wide. You can imagine this technology will help our doctors with patients. For example, elderly people living at home using spatial intelligence and assistive technology. We can help assess their health, medical situation, and life-threatening events." "From a geopolitics point of view, this is part of the technology that goes straight into weapons. Whether it's drones or devices. It's also the technology that leads to robotic intelligence because every robot is a moving agent, including your Roomba, which is not very smart." "As a moving agent, just like humans and animals, we use spatial intelligence to move around the world and interact with the world. When this technology is ready, the robotic revolution is going to start." @drfeifei with @StanfordHAI
OpenAI has acquired @TorchHealth The Torch team and I are joining OAI to help build ChatGPT Health into the best AI tool in the world for health and wellness.
.@strandaibio builds foundation models to fill in missing patient data. They predict unmeasured biological modalities from existing ones, turning sparse clinical trial datasets into complete multimodal profiles.

Beacon Health is building AI agents for primary care - starting with value-based care. They are on a mission to bring joy back to the practice of medicine. Congrats on the launch, Mark and @ObinnaAka! https://ycombinator.com/launches/POy-bea…
Patrick Collison on what changes when biology becomes programmable: "We, humanity, have never cured a complex disease." "Most cardiovascular disease, most cancers, most autoimmune disease, most neurodegenerative disease... For none of them can we really say that we've cured it, that we understand the causal pathways in meaningful detail." "Then over the last 10 ish years... we’ve gotten three new classes of technology in biology." "If you put those together, you now have the ability… to read, think, and to write. And this starts to really feel like a new kind of Turing loop." @patrickc with @mntruell
