Alumni Ventures portfolio company Bionic Health is developing a consumer health platform powered by GPT-4. With the help of Microsoft, Bionic plans to scale its services by augmenting doctors with AI to deliver optimal health guidance.

Empowering Doctors with AI Insights

While artificial intelligence (AI) is far from the first groundbreaking healthtech innovation, it’s positioned to be one of the most impactful. AI could help the healthcare industry save up to $360 billion annually by improving clinical quality and safety, detecting adverse events, and streamlining continuity of care and referral management. Some reports even suggest that patients prefer when ChatGPT answers their healthcare questions.

Bionic Health is building a platform that combines longevity medicine and AI through the capabilities of GPT-4, the latest edition of OpenAI’s popular chatbot. Users would have access to unique, AI-driven modules focused on identifying the best solutions for improving their performance and recovery, diet and nutrition, and mental well-being.

Bionic is working in partnership with doctors to complement in-person visits. This approach is intended to deliver a more scalable and customizable platform than a purely digital solution. Patients and physicians would pay a membership fee to access Bionic’s platform and reinforce the changes needed to optimize a patient’s health between visits.

Full membership features are expected to include:

  • Unlimited follow-ups via video, voice, and text messaging
  • Individualized treatment, medication, and/or supplement plans
  • Access to diagnostic testing for hormones, genetics, and more
