Akira

Hey Product Hunters! Co-founder and CEO here. I'm really excited about opening up the kimono on Akira - we've been working on it for almost a year now! Akira is based on the radical notion that healthcare should work the way you do - i.e. it should be available to you on-demand, wherever you happen to be, and in the medium you prefer. Most of the world's population doesn't have access to great healthcare, but they do have phones, which is why text is at the heart of how Akira works. In fact, around 60% of consults on Akira are text-only! Canada has been surprisingly untouched by digital health in the past, so we're initially focusing our efforts there. Canada spends $220B on healthcare and has a fairly homogenous set of laws across the provinces - we think the opportunity to scale quickly across Canada is tremendous. We'll be expanding into other markets in the near future, so I'd love feedback on where you think a service like Akira could have the greatest impact! Our long-term mission is to bring high-quality healthcare to the world. We'll get there by progressively enhancing the abilities of medical professionals with narrow AI. We'll know we've succeeded when a young mother in Mozambique or Laos, or anywhere else in the world, can access world-class medical advice on her phone for pennies. I really hope you enjoy Akira! Cheers, Dustin
