K Health

K Health is a privately-owned, clinical artificial intelligence (AI) company transforming the healthcare landscape by providing virtual primary care services. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in New York City, K Health leverages the power of shared medical knowledge and AI to offer accessible and affordable healthcare. The company's platform enables users to understand how doctors have diagnosed and treated individuals with similar symptoms and conditions, drawing insights from a vast database of anonymized medical records, including physician notes, lab results, and treatments. This data-driven approach aims to empower patients with information and connect them with board-certified clinicians for diagnosis, treatment plans, and prescriptions, often for less than a typical copay and without requiring insurance.

K Health's services cover a wide range of medical needs, including urgent care, primary care conditions, mental health (anxiety and depression), and medical weight management. The platform features an AI-powered chatbot, 'K', which guides users through a series of questions to identify potential diagnoses. While the AI provides a list of possibilities, the actual medical advice and treatment come from affiliated doctors who can review the AI's assessment while interacting with the user online. K Health has expanded its reach significantly, with virtual providers available in 48 states as of 2021. The company has also formed strategic partnerships with prominent healthcare systems and insurers, such as Cedars-Sinai, Mayo Clinic Health System, Elevance Health, and UnitedHealthcare, to integrate its AI-driven solutions and enhance patient care. K Health's commitment to innovation is further demonstrated by its development of peer-reviewed, clinical-grade AI for primary care, designed to optimize diagnosis, streamline physician workflows, and improve patient outcomes. The company continues to evolve, expanding its offerings to include services like K for Parents, a virtual pediatrics platform, and focusing on areas like hypertension management through collaborations with institutions like Mayo Clinic Platform.
