🧬 About YOU(th) vision - “Unlocking prevention for 8 billion people”
🤳
YOU(th) — The Front Door of Future Healthcare
Prevention is broken at the screening point — 60% of people skip it because screenings are slow, invasive, or outdated.
We’re fixing that by turning smartphones into screening devices. 2 minutes. No hardware. 60+ biomarkers from face, voice, eyes, typing, accelerometers — and soon, passively.
This isn’t just an app. It’s the infrastructure for mass preventive care — powering clinics, insurers, and health brands. We connect digital screenings with labs, visits, insurance, and lifestyle plans.
Our Theses
1. Prevention is broken at the point of screening
2. Phones as the new stethoscopes: the 10x breakthrough fixing prevention
3. One app must do it all: owning the user platform > owning a specific IP
4. Tech will get commoditized. Trust and user experience don’t.
5. Digital and physical healthcare must converge
6. Control the gateway to reinvent the system
The Future We See
