I'm working on something in this space right now, would be really interesting to use Metriport for this. Though I believe that it's currently outside scope
>Additionally, using Metriport for patient data exchange today requires a Treatment purpose of use under HIPAA - which means that only Covered Entities, or Business Associates who work with Covered Entities, can use Metriport. This means that companies doing things such as clinical trials recruitment, for example, can’t use Metriport, but a primary care provider, or a clinical decision support vendor, can. This is due to current requirements set forth by HIEs, which may open up to support alternative use cases in the future, such as Individual Access Services (IAS).
Agent-based healthcare concierge basically (agents constantly trawling literature for ways to optimize your health, doing scheduling/appointments for you, moving data to new doctors when needed, etc.)
Thinking is: this was a massive tar pit in the past, new interop laws and AI tooling makes it possible now.
Health optimization based on literature searches is a fool's errand. A certain niche segment of the "worried well" is constantly reading studies (often of questionable quality) and chasing marginal gains with the latest drugs, supplements, recovery modalities, or whatever. Meanwhile they still have poor sleep hygiene, insufficient exercise, and unresolved emotional problems. Major in the major, minor in the minor.
Those other agent features could be useful, though.
No offense but the whole "biohacking" and "quantified self" community is mostly a clown show. It might be a fun hobby but there's little or no reliable evidence that any of that stuff actually leads to improved outcomes in terms of lifespan or healthspan or performance or whatever. Any business built around that community might get a few early adopters but won't cross the chasm to the mainstream market.
And I write this as someone who has personally wasted money on stuff like genetic tests for athletic performance. Interesting, but not actionable.
For common symptoms, conditions, and medications consumers mostly just rely on WebMD or similar sites.
Matrix is on a quest to make every fan an owner of their entertainment. We are an early-stage (12 employees; pre-product; recently raised $3M+ from Galaxy, Samsung, Sam Altman, Dapper Labs, etc.) startup.
We're currently looking to bring on a senior dev to help us both build the immediate product and assist in building company procedures/code that's meant to be scalable and assists in being able to build new features quickly.
Our stack currently revolves around: React, NodeJS, Graph, and Solidity
I wish I had done it that way, although I definitely had the wrong partner at the time. I’m older now. There’s never a good time. There’s never a perfect partner. Set priorities and standards early at a minimum acceptable level and take the first match. Optimization will fail you every time. My biggest regrets are all from rejecting ‘good enough’.
