More proactive healthcare

Good morning, afternoon, or evening! Welcome to the Thursday edition of the daily digest. In today’s product highlight, I’m covering a YC startup that wants to use AI and real doctors to change healthcare. But first…

The headlines: 

🛍️ Telegram has launched a mini app store for users to discover native apps. 

💰The Reddit CEO says that Microsoft and others need to pay to scrape the site.

🤖 According to Zuckerberg, Meta will need 10x more computing power to train Llama 4.

Longevity and well-being have a new advocate in Mito Health, a new health startup founded by Kenneth Lou, Tee-Ming Chew, Joel Kek, and Dr. Ryan Ware. After leaving their successful personal finance platform, Seedly, Lou, and Chew launched Mito Health to focus on proactive healthcare.

The problem with conventional healthcare? It's reactive. You’re either diagnosed with a disease or given vague advice from annual physicals that leave you scratching your head. Mito Health flips that script by using regular blood work from Labcorp centers across 47 states. They leverage AI and doctor insights to create highly personalized health plans, catching potential issues decades before they become problems.

Here's how it works: After scheduling a blood draw, you will get access to the Mito digital platform, where you can view your Mito biological age, detailed results, and a custom action plan within a week. This plan includes recommendations on supplements, exercise, nutrition, and sleep strategies, giving you clear steps to optimize your health. From there, you can opt-in to repeat testing if you want to focus on specific problem areas and to try interventions you mightn't have before.

The core of Mito Health's service is diagnostic testing, analyzing 67 biomarkers to assess risks for critical diseases and early aging. The team, driven by personal experiences of losing loved ones to diseases, is committed to helping everyone live not just longer but healthier lives, and that message has resonated as the team is right now going through YC’s summer batch.
