Hi HN, we built Vitalify.ai -started months before both ChatGPT and Claude Health announcements- because managing health data is fragmented and overwhelming.Here's a video of the product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLI_1xB22rcYou upload your lab results, add your conditions/medications, and Vitalify generates a personalized wellness plan with daily tasks in your calendar.While the value proposition might seem similar to others, we took a different approach with our UX. Instead of just a chat interface, we built a structured system with actionable plans, calendar, gamified goals, streaks and etc...Data is encrypted at rest and isolated per user. No data is used to train any models. You have full ownership to export or delete your records at any time.If you're not comfortable with how big health AIs handles your data, or don't want to wait on their waitlist/country restrictions, our early access is open.Happy to answer questions and feedback is super welcome!
