Our AI-enabled, physician-supervised model significantly expands access amid growing physician shortages, offering a safe, scalable path forward for U.S. healthcare.

Counsel recently met with members of @CMSGov, including current Administrator Dr. Oz, to discuss how AI is transforming care delivery.

We’re thrilled to share that Counsel has been named to @Redpoint's AI64, recognizing the top emerging enterprise AI applications shaping the future of technology 🎉 At Counsel, we’re building the responsible front door to modern care by combining medical AI with in-house physicians. We’re proud to be included on this list alongside many other companies driving AI innovation across various industries. Read the full report: redpoint.com/ai64/

@malagappan For employers and health plans, this milestone represents a new standard in care delivery, improving outcomes, reducing costs, and increasing member engagement. Read the full story: counselhealth.com/blog/how-we-go…

In our latest blog, CEO @malagappan shares the story behind Counsel and the three principles driving our model: • Care should feel effortless • Care should never start from scratch • Safety and quality must always come first

Healthcare’s biggest challenge isn’t demand, it’s capacity. At Counsel, we’re reimagining how care is delivered through an AI-enabled, physician-supervised model. Here’s how we got to our $25M Series A and what it means for the future of healthcare ⬇️

We're honored to be named to AI64! Thanks for the recognition @Redpoint 🎉

Over 100 million people in the US are without a dedicated doctor. But it shouldn't have to be that way. The technology to scale medical advice exists today. I’m proud that @a16z is doubling down to co-lead @CounselHealth’s Series A alongside our friends at @GVteam. On top of that, Counsel's medical AI is now available to anyone. Our healthcare system is designed to ration access to our scarcest resource – doctor time. And in a world where clinician capacity is scarce, people are forced to turn to Google or ChatGPT for answers. Consumers ultimately need clinical resolution: the prescription, the lab test, the specialist appointment, the follow-up, the ongoing guidance and encouragement to change their lifestyle. Counsel is building healthcare abundance for the AI era. We led Counsel’s seed financing last year because of our conviction in this bold idea: that we can build a world in which everyone has their own doctor for life. They’ve seen immense progress under the leadership of @malagappan, who was previously a Stanford-trained physician, AI researcher, and healthtech executive. I’m delighted to expand our support as Counsel redefines how we access healthcare. @julesyoo @a16zBioHealth

Today, we’re announcing a $25M Series A, co-led by @a16z and @GVteam, with continued support from @asymmetric_vc, @floodgatefund, and @pearvc. Two years ago, Counsel was started with a simple belief: the world needs many more clinicians, and safe, physician-supervised AI can help make that possible. Counsel is now available to everyone. Link and full blog in the comments.

Today we’re launching @CounselHealth to the general public. We believe Counsel is the most advanced combination of medical AI and human doctors in a single interface, and the easiest way to go from “I need advice” to “I’m getting care,” all from your phone. Learn more about Counsel ⏬

AI will be amazing for our health

“Infrastructure for physical care isn’t going away, it’s just inefficiently utilized. It’s not AI/virtual care OR physical infrastructure - it’s both.” -@khakrish #NYTechWeek

“As a doc, we designed healthcare to be constrained by supply of labor. I’m excited about that not being a constraint. Imagine a world where a doctor has 100 touchpoints a year with a patient? This takes care to where it should be - personal and empathetic.” @khakrish #NYTechWeek

“In the world of health, it’s easy to jump to the challenges… it’s indicative of the mindset around health where we talk about everything that could go wrong versus everything that could go right.” @maxmarchione from @superpower at #NYTechWeek

“In the oncology space, there’s a reason why the dissemination of AI needs to be different. Physicians used to learn about info that was thoroughly researched at conferences - I don’t think AI should be held to less of a bar.” -Anirudh Joshi, Co-founder @valarlabs #NYTechWeek

We'll be hosting a healthcare x ai panel at NY Tech Week! Join us on June 5th if you want to learn from founders and experts about what the future of healthcare will look like. Register here: partiful.com/e/g8eGfd089k4t…?

Unfortunately I’ve been on the other side of this — the ER doc apologizing to a patient for a 4 hour wait during which it felt like nothing happened. We’re trying to fix this @CounselHealth by giving patients near-instant access to a real physician (often ER-trained) for triage, guidance and treatment.

Great summary, and it's telling that Amy frames this as her advice to friends & family. Most docs do some version of this clinically-grounded, system-aware care navigation in their private lives. At @CounselHealth we're trying to democratize this type of first-touch care because we know it works.
