Healthcare has a visibility problem. Every day, millions of family caregivers observe changes in their loved ones that never make it into the medical record. They notice increased confusion, sleep disruptions, agitation, medication issues, falls, changes in routine, and countless other signals that may be clinically meaningful. Yet most of those observations are never documented, never communicated to the care team, and never become part of the information physicians use to make decisions. Not because caregivers don't care, but because the healthcare system was never designed to see what happens at home. Atenda is a voice-first AI companion designed to solve that problem. Available whenever they need it, Atenda provides real-time support, education, guided journaling, and meaningful conversation during some of the most difficult moments of the caregiving journey. But beneath that experience is a much larger mission. As caregivers talk naturally about what they're seeing and experiencing, Atenda identifies clinically relevant observations and transforms them into structured insights that can be shared with the care team. The result is a system that simultaneously supports caregivers, improves clinical awareness, and helps healthcare providers better understand what is happening in a patient's life between appointments. We believe this represents a new layer in healthcare — one that bridges the gap between the home and the clinic. For the first time, the observations, concerns, and experiences of family caregivers can become part of the clinical picture, helping providers make better-informed decisions while giving caregivers the support they deserve.

HEAL (Healmenow Inc.) is building the first screenless, voice-first companion for medication adherence and mental wellness. Instead of another app competing for screen time, HEAL lives as a physical device in your space — you talk to it, it responds, it helps you stay on track with your care. We sit at the intersection of hardware, AI, and emotional design, because behavior change doesn't come from reminders and gamification — it comes from feeling understood. What We're Building A screenless medication adherence device paired with an AI voice companion. Say "Hey HEAL" and it dispenses your medication, logs adherence, and has a real conversation with you about how you're doing — building the kind of clinical documentation that qualifies for Medicare Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) reimbursement. V1 is built and working; we're now developing V2 using real user data, targeting a significant jump in treatment effectiveness. Our voice companion also carries a crisis-escalation layer, built with clinical oversight from a psychiatry advisor with 15+ years of experience. Hard Problems We're Solving Medication non-adherence, especially for mental health conditions, is a massive and under-addressed problem — people don't stop taking their medication because they forget, they stop because no one is checking in on how they actually feel. Existing solutions (pillboxes, reminder apps) treat this as a logistics problem, not an emotional one. We're solving three hard problems at once: designing a voice AI that can hold a caring, clinically-sound conversation without a screen; building the crisis-detection logic responsible enough to flag real risk without false alarms (the single highest-risk, highest-scrutiny part of the FDA classification question); and proving this new adherence data can actually satisfy Medicare RTM reimbursement requirements, which is what will make this sustainable at scale rather than another wellness gadget.
