What Reviving Mind does

Navigating chronic illness is an isolating and lonely process which ultimately reduces medical adherence and adversely impacts outcomes. There are over 100 deadly chronic conditions as 1 out of 2 Americans is currently living with at least 1 chronic condition. The US healthcare system has over $1 trillion dollars in direct costs. Medical adherence rates for therapeutic programs and medicine are only 50% because patients feel lonely, isolated, and unsupported in their chronic illness journey. Reviving Mind is an in-network telehealth provider that improves clinical outcomes and program adherence for the senior medicare and medicare-advantage population that is plagued with loneliness and chronic illness. This is done through a novel and proprietary clinical program and technology platform that integrates virtual, private, curated, and professionally led groups that scale up to 8-patients with individualized and goal oriented lifestyle medicine coaching that is automated but managed by a licensed provider. Scaling rapidly across the United States.

Addressing Loneliness and Isolation for Seniors

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an in-network telehealth platform that improves outcomes for seniors with chronic illness by reducing their loneliness and isolation. Our platform runs private, professionally led groups of up to eight Medicare patients, combining individualized lifestyle coaching with automated support managed by licensed providers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, Boston, and remotely. After YC, the company would remain based where the founding team is, mainly San Francisco and remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our distributed locations reflect our access to healthcare talent and the senior patient populations in urban centers. Remote work allows flexibility given the niche expertise we need and the senior Medicare demographics we serve across the country.
