Vita

Problem:

Many people lack clear guidance on finding the right healthcare provider for their symptoms, often resorting to guesswork or unreliable internet searches that can lead to misdiagnosis and delays in care. This gap not only impacts individual health but also limits access to timely healthcare, as clinics face inefficiencies from missed appointments and unfilled slots. Addressing this need is essential for improving healthcare accessibility and ensuring everyone can receive the right care.

Idea:

Vita is an AI-powered platform that guides patients to the right specialist based on their symptoms and offers real-time scheduling options. By reducing guesswork, Vita improves patient outcomes, fills clinic appointment gaps, and makes healthcare access more efficient and accessible for all.

Main Beneficiaries:

Vita benefits both patients and healthcare providers. For patients, it means a clear pathway to the right care, saving time and reducing stress. With over 60% of people experiencing uncertainty about which specialist to consult, Vita has the potential to assist millions globally. Clinics and hospitals also benefit, as Vita optimizes appointment bookings, leading to higher occupancy rates, fewer no-shows, and increased revenue by ensuring that patients are matched to the right care at the right time.
