Bragging about health

This is my fourth newsletter where I share cool stuff with you that people are making on the internet.

You might remember me as the guy who made CatGPT… I made it in one day to show that you can make fun stuff with AI, and millions of people loved it!

Today, we are going to look at health apps! 🩺

Let's get into today's bragging! -Adam

PS — Did someone forward you this email? Join the crew here. Reply and tell me what you're building, I read every single email.

Imagine you build Spotify and transform the music industry. That would be enough for most founders. But not for Daniel Ek. He comes from a working class suburb of Stockholm and taught himself to code. Soon he was making more than his teachers. To me, it seems like he has something to prove.

Well, this crazily ambitious Swedish guy has just raised $700m for his new project, Neko Health.

The company delivers full body scans to look for health abnormalities and catch things early without having a lengthy MRI or CT scan. Your scan is comprehensive and covers everything from mole mapping and body fat measurements to blood checks. Then you talk over your results with a doctor.

Neko Health has already been operating for a while in Sweden and the UK but it’s brand new for America. There’s huge demand already with 300,000 on the waiting list for NYC.

I love it when founders build one world-changing company and then think “nah, I’m not done!” and go on to make another one!!

Two guys have made an AI health assistant app for people living with chronic diseases. Marshall Gould and Isaac Tolley, who both live with chronic illnesses, took their AI health app idea to YC. They named their app Juno and then leant on Claude Code and Cowork to build their idea into reality.

Users are able to use voice and text AI agents to tell Juno symptoms, upload their health records securely and say if they have taken their medication.

These two founders are now making $80k every month while making a mission-driven app that genuinely helps vulnerable people. I think that’s pretty cool.

Warris Bokhari is a British doctor helping Americans with health insurance disputes. 850 million claims are made every year in the US but only 1% of people dispute what their insurer tells them.

Warris saw this problem for himself while he was working in America as a doctor. So he created an app to solve this problem. Claimable uses AI to scan correspondence between American patients and their insurance companies.

He charges $50 per dispute. It’s a great offer because who wouldn’t pay $50 to solve this problem? If thousands of dollars are on the line and they don’t have to do any grunt work, this is a steal.

David Fajgenbaum was a medical student who was dying from organ failure. In fact, he almost died on five separate occasions. Using his medical knowledge, he found the cure to his condition from existing drugs. He is now working on EveryCure, a non-profit that uses AI to find new uses for existing medical drugs.

A guy vibe coded a connection between his Whoop wearable device and his OpenClaw AI agent. The result is a full view for all his health data. AI even generated a calories tracker as well. It’s awesome that people are taking control of their health with AI, and I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon, which I am SO excited about.

People are using AI to take charge of their health…. scanning their bodies, fighting their insurance companies, tracking their symptoms, and even building their own health dashboards. One of them cured himself. All this health and care is definitely something I think is worth continuing, and worth bragging about. keep trying folks, we’re off to a great start 🧡
