Hey YC! ๐Ÿ‘‹

We're Isaac and Marshall, co-founders of Juno.

TL;DR: Juno is an AI personal health assistant for the 1B+ people living with chronic illness. Over 80,000 people already use Juno to reduce their symptoms and shorten the path to a diagnosis.

Ask: Know someone living with chronic illness? Send them Juno - we support a broad range of conditions including fibromyalgia, long COVID, POTS, ME/CFS, EDS, endometriosis, lupus, MS and many more.

โŒ The Problem

Over 1 billion people live with chronic illness: fibromyalgia, long COVID, POTS, ME/CFS, EDS, endometriosis, lupus, MS and many more.

  • Patients spend months waiting for appointments, then get 15 minutes to explain years worth of symptoms
  • The average diagnosis takes 7.6 years
  • Many now turn to ChatGPT and Claude for advice, but without continuous context, the advice is generic and rarely actionable

๐Ÿ‘ฌ Our Story

We started building Juno after growing up with chronic conditions ourselves. Isaac waited 14 years for an eosinophilic bronchitis diagnosis. Marshall lives with ME/CFS and is still searching for something that helps. We spent the last year conducting research at Oxford and UCL to understand what makes people engage with medical chatbots, to allow Juno to ask the right questions at the right time and comprehensively understand each userโ€™s health.
