What Legion Health does
Legion Health is building autonomous medical care, starting with psychiatry. Our AI-native care-delivery platform currently automates 95% of the administrative work required for us to deliver direct patient care. We also became the first company ever to receive regulatory authorization to let AI prescribe psychiatric medications, allowing us to not only collapse health care’s admin costs but also its clinical labor costs - entirely shifting this industry’s economics from humans to tokens.

Company
Legion Health
Autonomous medical care
We're building an AI-native platform that delivers autonomous medical care, starting with psychiatry. Our product automates 95% of the administrative work involved in direct patient care and uniquely has regulatory approval to let AI prescribe psychiatric medications. This lets us drastically reduce both admin and clinical labor costs and reimagine how mental health care is delivered.
We are currently based in San Francisco, CA, and the company would continue to be based here after YC.
San Francisco is where all three founders live and work. It gives us direct access to talent and the healthcare tech ecosystem, which is critical for navigating regulatory and clinical challenges unique to our product.
