What RTHM does
Current Description: RTHM provides virtual-first care for complex illness including Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS, and mast cell activation. Many clinics focus on teaching patients how to better cope with symptoms, which is helpful, but we don’t stop there. We develop collaborations & partnerships so our patients access to the most promising testing and root-cause directed early therapies for their illness(es) with the goal of simplifying and streamlining the most efficient and effective clinical pathways so they can be scaled in the form of low cost online modules overseen remotely by clinicians. In conjunction with clinical care, RTHM operates a clinical lab and collects deep molecular data with robust clinical context to develop AI-powered diagnostics and better ways of predicting which treatments may work best for whom.

RTHM
Simplifying complex illness care at scale
We provide virtual-first care tailored to complex illnesses like Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS, and mast cell activation. Our product streamlines clinical care by combining remote clinician oversight with scalable online modules that guide patients to root-cause testing and early therapies. We also leverage proprietary lab and molecular data collection to build AI-driven diagnostics and personalize treatment predictions.
We live in San Francisco and Redwood City, CA. After YC, the company would continue to be based in the Bay Area.
We are located in the Bay Area because it's where our team lives and where the healthcare and digital health ecosystem is strong. Being close to partners, clinicians, and tech talent is critical to building and scaling our product.
