Solving Values Misalignment in Healthcare

Building the only patient-first AI platform dedicated towards improving patient experience and outcomes by ensuring alignment with patient values across the healthcare ecosystem.

The Problem?

Patient values and medical preferences are not captured effectively and often lost amongst the complexities and various siloes within the healthcare system.

The Critical Moment

When a code blue (i.e. cardiac arrest) is called, clinicians have seconds to decide whether to resuscitate or not.

Lost Directives

Today, a legally signed advanced directive or a Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) form often sits in a filing cabinet, a family inbox, or lost in a patient-portal PDF that nobody can find at the bedside.

The Cost of Delay

The default is full resuscitation, even when the patient would have chosen otherwise. Each unnecessary resuscitation costs the system $30–50,000. Worse, the patient may die without dignity or respect for their choices, leaving families emotionally devastated.

Our Solution

Ara Health provides a comprehensive AI platform that automates and aligns complex and scattered patient data systems.

Real-Time Value Alignment

Continuous monitoring and alignment of patient values with care decisions, ensuring dignity and respect in every medical choice.

Patient-Specific AI Models

Advanced AI that learns from each patient's unique medical history and preferences to provide personalized care recommendations.

Patient & Family App

Securely capture advance-care choices, medical decisions, chronic condition treatment plans, and update medical documents.

One-Click SMART-on-FHIR

Embedded view for any clinician who opens the patient's chart—no matter which EHR the clinic or hospital uses.

No More Guessing

No more calling outpatient clinics for information, digging through scanned PDFs, or guessing at patient's wishes.
