What Nirva does
Nirva is the lifestyle medicine layer for clinicians. For the first time, any doctor can offer daily care between appointments and earn recurring revenue. 87% of patients improve in weeks, and our system is discovering things like which foods trigger hot flashes, insights that no existing research has found.

Company
Nirva
The lifestyle medicine layer for clinicians.
We built a platform that lets any doctor deliver daily lifestyle medicine care to their patients between appointments. It helps clinicians monitor and guide patients with actionable insights - like identifying which foods trigger symptoms such as hot flashes - and patients see real improvement in weeks. This also creates recurring revenue for providers.
We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and would continue to be based here after YC.
San Francisco has the right healthcare and tech ecosystem, plus access to clinicians and patients for feedback. It's also close to investors and partners in digital health.
