Hi! Co-founder Derek here. I am super proud of my team for taking our first steps and launching Ruta - they have worked hard and passionately and continued to grind with me time and time again. 🤔 Problem 75% of people start their health search online and find it incredibly unproductive. Those without doctor friends or great insurance find unstructured and unclear information leaving them more anxious and confused than before. This often leads to worsened outcomes like mistreating, ignoring, and visiting the ER/doctor unnecessarily. Getting reliable support, information, and education on health concerns outside of an actual doctor visit is a privilege that millions of individuals do not have. ✅ Solution Being in startups and having HDPs limited my access to doctors so my solution was to just over utilize my doctor friends for everything - my parents health too! We found this superior to other options and wondered if we could scale it. Today, we want to provide you with access to a doctor friend. - Anonymously, 1:1, and at your own time post a question about your health concern - Fill out as much information as you feel comfortable providing - A doctor best matched to answer your question will respond and you can engage in a caring and informative conversation with them We don't diagnose, treat, or prescribe because we don't believe in replacing your doctor. We believe in empowering you with knowledge and a confident understanding of what is happening and what you can do about it. 👍 How to get started? Just sign up and make an account and start asking about all the questions you ever wanted. https://www.rutahealth.com/ So, join Ruta today, we are empowering individuals with health information and the confidence to make healthcare decisions 1 question at a time!

@derek_zhang interesting product! Access to the right information is key. What type of questions can you ask and do you have and is this just b2c??

@johnkyeremeh Thanks for the support and question! For questions, our doctors are amazing and really are able to support any health question within primary care. They use their resources like UpToDate to get you the best answers and next steps - in some cases they help empower you to see your doctor and talk about how to follow ups and the possible other options available. We are actively pushing B2B/2C conversations - but cycles are long, and we did not want that to stop us from learning from potential users and how to iterate on fundamental design principles!

Hello! Well done on getting Ruta Health on PH! Looks like you've done a great job! One of the most important products I've seen! I have a question. How do you plan to monetize your product? (If you plan to)

@ilyayaroshevichqa If we can validate some of our hypothesis, we may consider advertising, creating a freemium tier (some users want this)? and expanding into B2B/B2(clinic). We are trying our best to make the access as free as possible w/o compromising quality and doctor in the loop., and to do this at scale, we have big plans of leveraging supervised & reinforced machine learning. Hope this helps!

On Ruta's website I see that the service is free, but in the FAQ there are billing related questions. What is the upsell and why aren't the premium services listed as part of the offering? I'd love to better understand the full extent of the offering before I would give my information.

@product_at_producthunt First off, thank you for reading the documents and surfacing that! It is actually and update we need to make and change those items. We are fully free, there is no payment in the system. There are no hidden functions or tricks! So then how do you make money? Well, we are launching to learn, test acquisition, and measure value across segments. If we can validate some of our hypothesis, we may consider advertising, creating a freemium tier (some users want this)? and expanding into B2B/B2(clinic). Hope that helps!

This is really interesting! Would be cool to see this used for doctors and their own patients as a messaging system depending on the type of practice. But even so this is a nice tool to help patients from needlessly worrying from their incessant google searches. Excited to see the impact this makes!

@pongsakul YES! I love that idea and it is something we are looking into! Too often do we hear that rural communities have very hard access to basic primary care. For value-based clinics this becomes an issue in these communities since one of their core tenants is patient and physician communication & engagement!

I recently had the pleasure of trying out Ruta Health, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed! This innovative product is a game-changer for people who have barriers to accessing medical answers. Ruta Health offers a doctor-led, asynchronous, and anonymous approach to health, which means you can connect with a healthcare professional at your convenience and from the comfort of your own home. What I love most about Ruta Health is that they aim to be your trusted "doctor friend" and make health information accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyone. They truly prioritize patient education and empowerment, which is so important in today's complex healthcare landscape. The platform is incredibly easy to use, and I appreciate the anonymity it provides. I can ask any question or express any concern without fear of judgement or stigma. The doctors who work with Ruta Health are compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsive, and I feel confident in the advice and guidance they provide. Overall, I highly recommend Ruta Health to anyone who has barriers to accessing medical answers. It's a fantastic product that fills a crucial need in today's healthcare system. Thank you, Ruta Health, for making a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of so many people!
