Our story
In healthcare, there is a huge gap between people’s desire to help their loved ones get better and their ability to help loved ones get better. We believe that technology is the best way to solve this problem.
We started Always Health because we were unhappy with our experience with the US healthcare system. As our loved ones faced advanced medical conditions and treatments, we felt helpless and underwhelmed with the system’s ability to support our needs. We built Always Health because we know the only way to engage care teams is to capture real conversations about medical diagnoses and treatments.
Nobody reads handouts, and people forget doctors’ instructions, especially when they are under stress. We studied the most impactful, effective learning modalities available and found that personalization, visualization and repetition are powerful learning tools. In order to build a clinical application for real-time, visual, personal care plans, we licensed the world’s best human anatomy viewing technology, built in rich immersive 3D, from Stanford University School of Medicine. We combined this technology with the Unity engine, one of the best game engines in existence, to allow you to view medically accurate graphics on almost any device or web browser.
The result? A new form of content, created by your doctor, for you, that you can refer to over and over again and share with your team.
