Empirical Health for web - Comprehensive preventive heart health solution scaled w/ AI

by
Empirical Health
•
When Empirical Health first launched, it was centered around iOS and Android apps to help you optimize your heart health in your daily life. But sometimes you need a larger screen, especially when viewing blood test reports (there are 100+ biomarkers per test). Now, you can view all of your blood test results, check heart attack risk scores, message your doctor, and schedule lab reviews from your desktop or phone without downloading an app.

Hey everyone, Today we're announcing a new way to interact with Empirical Health through our web app. We took all the features we loved from our mobile app including viewing your test results, chatting with your medical team, predicting your heart attack risk, and more and brought it to our new web app. Our core value prop remains the same: Heart disease kills one in five people in the U.S.—but 80% of heart attacks can be avoided, and your risk is predictable using statistical models up to 30 years in advance. Measure We're offering a $190 test measuring 100+ biomarkers—available at 2,200+ locations nationwide. This includes key biomarkers like: * ApoB: every 10 mg/dL drop cuts heart disease risk by 9% * Lp(a): up to 6x more atherogenic than regular LDL * hs-CRP: an inflammation biomarker that predicts heart disease better than cholesterol Predict Next, we show how your heart attack risk could change by age 70— * If you do nothing * If you follow a tailored plan with medication, diet, and exercise Many people cut their risk by 50% or more with the right changes. Prevent Then, we help you build a personalized action plan with the help of our doctors. Make lifestyle changes to your diet and exercise routine, or start taking a new medication to help prevent heart disease. Check is out here: https://app.empirical.health/app...

@wyattchang11 what was the hardest part of building Empirical for web?

@bballinger We adapted our React Native mobile app iOS and Android to a web format. This allowed us to reuse most of the same code, but lots of the functionality didn't work on web out of the box. For example we had to integrate with stream chat react instead since it wasn't supported for React Native on the web. We opted to use react navigation for our navigation library instead of expo router as we thought the file based routing system was a little bit rigid and would force us to reorganize much of our existing code. But this made it so we had to build our own deep linking and routes to serve the web app from some nested pages. Just a few examples of why building on web using a React Native project can be a bit tricky sometimes :)

@wyattchang11 Hey Wyatt. This is brilliant! How do you validate that predicted risk reductions translate into real-world outcome changes? Do your models simulate intervention effects causally or co-relationally?

Great idea to combine medical care with long-term tracking. Since health data regulations are different here, do you have a roadmap for expanding to the EU market? We are definitely waiting for something like this in Europe!

@valeriia_kuna our platform can be used across many countries - people can upload their lab results, pair their wearable devices, and take steps toward improving their health outcomes. In the US we are also able to provide medical care and our year-long program includes doctor check-ins to ensure our members get a deep dive into their results and a customized action plan. We would definitely want to expand this component at some point so that it is available to people worldwide!

After a user gets results back, what does the end-to-end workflow look like from “numbers on a screen” to a concrete plan—how do you decide what to prioritize first, and how do you coordinate with (or complement) the user’s existing primary care/cardiologist?

@curiouskitty we have a few features that take the results from just "numbers on a screen" to actionable change. When results are back people receive an AI generated report for each biomarker. We also have an in-app tool that uses your biomakers to create nutrition recommendations. This can even prompt you when you enter a restaurant on nutrition choices that would be best for you. Our medical team is also available to answer any questions and our year-long members can access doctor check-ins to review the results, get their questions answered, obtain prescriptions if necessary, and ensure we support each individual roadmap toward a long and healthy life!

Love how Empirical Health brings the full mobile experience to the web. The ability to see how lifestyle changes is incredible. Currently researching such products for myself. How often do you recommend retesting biomarkers to track progress and can the web app adjust the personalized plan based on updated results?

Congratulations on the new launch! I’m sure the future of medicine is with AI.

Is your service available only in the US, or in other countries as well? With AI, you could add multilingual support, and all main functions would automatically work anywhere. In the most popular regions, you could then separately integrate doctors and provide additional localization.
