That’s why these platforms saying things like “we will roll out insider trading” is laughable.

“There was so much I still wanted to do. I fantasized about the smallest, most mundane things—waking up in bed, getting in my car, waiting at a red light, grabbing coffee, working. I wanted to do it all again, every day, forever and ever.”

There are some startups in the health insurance space. What they seem to do is just make it easier to buy/cancel health insurance, all within an app. Some have been quite successful. Some are also trying to bundle in their own health care provision inside the app (like telehealth, virtual mental health, etc), so in a sense getting more people access to care.

It depends on what you think the goal of an app could be. If we can build an app that 1) makes people healthier or 2) actually replaces nurses/doctors/pharmacists, I do think you'll be better off with a better healthcare system.

I've been working on just that, a medical scribe. It sort of works, but there's quite a few things I still need to learn even before this could be an MVP. Namely privacy and encryption.

I love the idea of a 'patient navigator' – someone or something that explains things to the patient. PocketHealth is doing something when it comes to medical images, but it's not nearly enough!

I have broad categories of problems I want to tackle, but the first thing I want to work on is administrative burden for providers. LLMs can make a huge difference when it comes to writing notes/helping providers save time on things – quite a few startups working on it right now but no one has figured it out quite yet.
