AI avatars to scale healthcare training

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

We built SimCare to train clinical skills across healthcare fields using AI avatars you can converse with. Our product includes a feedback system used by leading training programs and tools to help trainees demonstrate skill and find placements. It supports counselors, social workers, doctors, and nurses in practicing real conversations and managing behavioral health scenarios, all without needing live actors or instructors.

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

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent pool we need for AI, education technology, and healthcare partnership development. Being here connects us to key networks and healthcare institutions interested in better training solutions.
