{"id":97692,"title":"Prana - An AI Doctor that Monitors You 24/7","tagline":"Prana is an AI primary care doctor in your pocket","body":"Hey YC! We’re **Meer**, **Vishvam**, and **Sanjit** — the founders of **Prana**. ([pranadoc.com](http://pranadoc.com))\n\nTL;DR:\\\nPrana is the \"Always-On\" AI Doctor. We replace the reactive annual physical with continuous, proactive monitoring. We connect to your medical records and wearables to detect \"clinical drift\" (like rising blood pressure or glucose) weeks before it becomes an emergency.\n\n**The Problem**\\\nPrimary care today is episodic and reactive: you only see a doctor when you are already sick. Real health issues don’t happen overnight; they happen in the \"drift\" between visits. Because data is siloed (your Oura ring doesn’t talk to your Epic chart), doctors miss the full context of your health, often leading to late detection of metabolic disease and chronic illness.\n\n**The Solution**\\\nPrana acts as a 24/7 intelligent layer on top of your health data.\n\n* **Unified Profile:** We aggregate your history (EHRs via Fasten) and real-time biometrics (Wearables via Junction) into a single clinical timeline.\n* **Continuous Monitoring:** Instead of waiting for you to complain, our AI acts as a background monitor, analyzing your data for anomalies and drift.\n* **Doctor-in-the-Loop:** When risks are detected, the system escalates to our physician network for immediate intervention—turning passive data into active care.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/T0NoisWj0Ic\u003e\n\n**The Team** We are combining clinical expertise with high-frequency data engineering.\n\n* **Meer Patel (CEO):** JHU BME. Deferred Brown Medical School to build Prana because code scales better than appointments.\n* **Vishvam Rawal (CTO):** Ex-Quant (Weiss/Barclays). Leveraging algorithmic trading experience to build high-frequency infrastructure for health signals.\n* **Sanjit Menon (CMO):** Graduating MD. Previously co-founded and scaled an AI medical education platform to 400+ customers.\n\n**Our Asks**\n\n1. **Try the Beta:** We are live! If you are interested in longevity, metabolic health, or just want a doctor who actually knows the full story, sign up: (pranadoc.com/login)\n2. **Intros:** We are looking to pilot with **self-insured employers** who care about reducing metabolic risk in their workforce. If you know a Benefits VP or a forward-thinking founder, we’d love an intro.\n\nCheers, Meer, Vishvam, \u0026 Sanjit\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=97692\u0026key=user_uploads/2574475/d4b4b037-bce4-460d-8fcc-3bb04a9d9f97)\n\n","slug":"PPg-prana-an-ai-doctor-that-monitors-you-24-7","created_at":"2026-02-10T19:01:48.568Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T04:20:46.558Z","total_vote_count":17,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/PPg-prana-an-ai-doctor-that-monitors-you-24-7","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=97692\u0026key=user_uploads/2574475/d4b4b037-bce4-460d-8fcc-3bb04a9d9f97","company":{"id":31177,"name":"Prana","slug":"prana-health","url":"https://pranadoc.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/c6fd6b3bc7fb91c70acd850ce7a537f0e519187f.png","batch":"Winter 2026","industry":"Healthcare","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/31177"}}
