How would you create a system that offers more healthcare, to more people, at lower prices and high quality? What if you designed it purely around the needs of patients?

This question drove Dr. Adam Oskowitz and Matt Pavelle to build Doctronic. Not just another healthcare app, but a first-principles reimagining of direct-to-consumer care in an AI-native world. They've created a system offering private, personalized care available 24/7 across all states.

Today, we're announcing USV's investment in Doctronic.

Their core insight: healthcare works when it is personalized. This demands more sophisticated information processing and decision-making systems, not just a pleasant bedside manner or mining vast quantities of irrelevant data for patterns. By combining a delightful user experience with the right architecture, AI can drive exceptional medical decisions that are truly customized.

Doctronic's architecture is novel - autonomous AI agents coordinated through proprietary medical reasoning frameworks. A multi-agent, collective intelligence system where specialist AI agents engage in structured debate protocols. And feedback loops:

1. Every interaction adds to a proprietary dataset linking symptoms, diagnoses, and outcomes;

2. Their network of licensed physicians validate and improve the AI's decision-making;

3. Models which continuously incorporate new clinical guidelines and research; and

4. Patient navigation patterns that reveal optimization opportunities.

Doctronic may already be the world’s first, and #1, specialized AI "doctor." 50,000+ medical visits weekly. Ten million medical conversations in the past year. Care delivery at 1/10th the traditional cost. We’ve seen this pattern before at the edge of large markets being transformed by technological and societal pressures, the USV investment thesis

Doctronic’s approach is AI-native healthcare that is more accessible, consistent, data-driven and - counterintuitively - more human. They are building an ambitious patient-centric digital front door that may only really be possible with AI. Imagine healthcare so accessible and affordable that people engage with doctors as a part of their daily routine, not just 1-4 times a year.

Edge approaches start by asking what becomes possible when we let ourselves imagine a different future. This is the question that drives Adam, Matt and the Doctronic team. We believe their vision will redefine what's possible in direct-to-patient medicine.

first thing that comes to mind, if this is US based, is how is liability managed?

Any concerns about wearables being the primary quality service enhancement bottleneck?
