Is this actually useful? Early feedback from users:. "At the ER. Torch pulling in today's labs & connecting them to previous tests before the doctor can. Incredible stuff". "Amazing to see it take doctor notes and explain them". "App design is beautiful. Fun to play and explore".

So far, so good. But wait: I don't want a startup to have my medical records. Not even my own startup. Because of that, all the data I sync via Torch stays local on my phone, not on a server. Torch can't see any of it. Torch doesn't want to see any of it.

Like the rest of Silicon Valley, I read "Outlive" recently. It's a fantastic read, and I found myself wishing that @PeterAttiaMD could look at my particular medical records and give me his take. Torch can do that for me:

I'm not totally sure what Omega 3s are or how they relate to heart issues. When I tap into my Omega 3 record in Torch, I get a plain English explanation in the context of the rest of my data. It's not a wikipedia article about Omega 3 - it's about me and my health.

Here's what my aggregated trends look like in Torch. The LLM highlighted a few metrics for me to watch based on my records and family history. Because I'm on a statin, I'm keeping an eye on my LDL (still high 😓) and also watching my PSA for prostate cancer risk.

Torch solves my problem:.- connect UCSF, One Med, Function to Torch in <60 secs.- meds, labs, doctor's notes, etc. all in one place, organized and cleaned.- LLM has full context when explaining records & answering my Qs.- I get notifications when new things come in.- $0/month.

There are plenty of apps to show nice charts of Apple Health data. That's not good enough. I need to know what's happening to my blood sugar. I need to know whether I should switch from Crestor to a PCSK9. I need to know what a PCSK9 is. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

Thing is. my health data belongs to me, not to the hospital. I want it back! I want it all in one place. I want that place to be free, secure, and private. Fintech solved this a long time ago - why can I see all my spending in one nice app, but not my health records?.

I have genetically high LDL + family history of prostate cancer. I rely on LLMs for health advice, but they're missing context on me. My data's everywhere: four MyChart logins, PDFs in Dropbox, random lab co. portals. LLMs can't help when they can't see the full picture.

Your friend group should have:.- a getaway driver.- a safe cracker.- a loose cannon stickup man.- a menacing old guy pulling the strings talking about “one last job”. If you’re not heistmaxxing with your boys you are simply ngmi.

I once interviewed someone from Autodesk who said it took a year of meetings to get one line of JS added to their website to support the Facebook ad pixel.

I would pay 2x for a version of Rippling where I don't get a new weekly email from my account rep who wants to chat about emerging topics in payroll tax compliance.

Spotted in the Mission. AI or not AI?. AI:.- Ghibli yellow cast.- Chopsticks are holding the noodles & meat weirdly.- Different font sizing on the two lines at the bottom.- Doesn't match their brand.- Come on, everything is AI now. Not AI:.- Coherent and consistent text & labels

Ironic that the cold utility brand (chatGPT) is winning consumer and the warm, personified brand (Claude) is winning software engineering.
