/PRNewswire/ -- Triangle Health cofounder Arun Verma was on a business trip when his curiosity about health tech startups brought him to Prenuvo, an early-detection service that offers full-body MRI scans. His scan revealed an upsetting surprise: a Grade 2 Glioma. Brain cancer. 'After my diagnosis, I spent a year becoming an expert in my own disease.

/PRNewswire/ -- Triangle Health 联合创始人阿伦·维尔马在一次商务旅行中,因对健康科技初创公司的好奇,来到了早期检测服务提供商 Prenuvo,该公司提供全身核磁共振扫描。他的扫描结果揭示了一个令人不安的意外:二级胶质瘤。脑癌。 “确诊后,我花了一年时间成为自己疾病的专家。

I used ChatGPT, which was new at the time, to research my condition and scour the medical literature for the best treatment options. I eventually landed on two experimental therapies and brought them to my oncologist. He agreed, we started treatment, and I'm healthy today,' said Verma. 'That research may have saved my life, but most people don't have the time, background, or resources to do what I did.'.

我当时使用了还是新鲜事物的ChatGPT来研究我的病情,并在医学文献中搜寻最佳治疗方案。我最终找到了两种实验性疗法,并把它们推荐给了我的肿瘤医生。他同意了,我们开始治疗,如今我很健康。”维尔马说道,“那项研究可能拯救了我的生命,但大多数人没有我那样的时间、背景或资源来做我所做的事。”

So Verma built Triangle, an AI health navigation platform that gives patients their full medical history and a research team in their pocket. Its AI surfaces emerging treatments like newly approved drugs, off-label therapies, and clinical trials that patients and their doctors may not otherwise discover.

因此,维尔马创建了Triangle,这是一个AI健康导航平台,可以为患者提供完整的医疗记录,并且让患者拥有一个装在口袋里的研究团队。其人工智能展示了新兴的治疗方法,如新批准的药物、标签外疗法和临床试验,这些可能是患者及其医生否则无法发现的。

Central to Triangle's approach is its doctor-in-the-loop model: AI handles the research, but a licensed physician reviews findings and is available for telehealth consultations, ensuring patients never have to act on AI alone. Collaboration features enable family members to help loved ones navigate their care from a distance.

三角形方法的核心是其“医生参与”的模式:人工智能负责研究,但持有执照的医生会审查结果,并提供远程医疗咨询服务,确保患者不必单独依赖人工智能做出决策。协作功能让家庭成员能够帮助亲人远程管理他们的护理。

An MCP integration connects Triangle with Claude by Anthropic, and a ChatGPT Health integration is planned. Triangle is private, secure, and HIPAA-compliant..

MCP 集成将 Triangle 与 Anthropic 的 Claude 连接起来,并计划推出 ChatGPT Health 集成。Triangle 是私密、安全且符合 HIPAA 标准的。

For complex and overlapping health conditions, you need a purpose-built AI with a human expert in the loop.

对于复杂且重叠的健康状况,您需要一个有专人参与的人工智能系统。

To build Triangle, Verma recruited fellow tech veterans: Jonathan Grubb as CEO (Bird, OpenTable) and Justin Balthrop as CTO (co-founder of Bird, $2.5B IPO on NYSE). Verma, previously a senior leader at Shopify and Atoms, serves as COO. During his treatment, Verma sought out a physician who shared his enthusiasm for next-generation therapies.

为了组建Triangle,维尔马招募了其他技术资深人士:乔纳森·格鲁布担任首席执行官(曾任职于Bird和OpenTable),贾斯汀·巴尔特罗普担任首席技术官(Bird的联合创始人,公司在纽交所上市,市值25亿美元)。维尔马曾是Shopify和Atoms的高级领导,现任首席运营官。在治疗期间,维尔马寻找了一位与他一样对下一代疗法充满热情的医生。

He found Dr. Santosh Kesari, founder of Asthra Health and one of the country's top-ranked neuro-oncologists, who joined Triangle as founding medical advisor..

他找到了Asthra Health的创始人、美国排名前列的神经肿瘤学家之一桑托什·凯萨里博士,他以创始医学顾问的身份加入了Triangle。

The company today announced $4 million in pre-seed financing from Kevin Mahaffey at Signal Noise Ratio, Hannah Grey, Antler Criticality Fund with the State of New Mexico, John Hering of Vy Capital and x.ai, Marty Tenenbaum, and Kestrin Pantera.

公司今天宣布,已从 Signal Noise Ratio 的 Kevin Mahaffey、Hannah Grey、Antler Criticality Fund 与新墨西哥州、Vy Capital 和 x.ai 的 John Hering、Marty Tenenbaum 以及 Kestrin Pantera 筹集了 400 万美元的预种子轮融资。

'Patients today are already using tools like ChatGPT to research their health, but for complex and overlapping conditions, you need a purpose-built AI with a human expert in the loop,' said Grubb. 'We created a platform for that job: your full medical history in context, the entire body of medical literature at hand, and a doctor who partners with you to act on what you find.'.

格鲁布说:“如今,患者已经在使用像ChatGPT这样的工具来研究自己的健康状况,但对于复杂且相互重叠的病症,你需要一个专门构建的人工智能,并结合人类专家的参与。我们为此创建了一个平台:在上下文中整合你的完整病史,触手可及的全部医学文献,以及一位与你合作、根据你的发现采取行动的医生。”

'We're entering an era of agentic AI, where systems can act on your behalf. But their power depends on the context they have,' said Balthrop. 'We built Triangle so that patients own their health data and can connect it to the best AI systems as they emerge. That's what turns a chatbot into a true health agent.'.

“我们正在进入一个代理人工智能的时代,这些系统可以代表你采取行动。但它们的能力取决于所处的环境,”巴尔索普说。“我们构建了Triangle,让患者拥有自己的健康数据,并能将其连接到不断涌现的最佳人工智能系统。这才能将聊天机器人转变为真正的健康助手。”

Most health apps force patients to gather records themselves -- uploading documents or logging into each hospital's portal one at a time. Triangle partners with Particle Health to retrieve a patient's complete medical history with a single click, giving Triangle's doctors and AI a comprehensive picture of each patient's health from day one.

大多数健康应用程序迫使患者自己收集记录——上传文件或逐一登录每家医院的门户网站。Triangle与Particle Health合作,通过一次点击即可获取患者的完整医疗历史,让Triangle的医生和人工智能从第一天起就能全面了解每位患者的健康状况。

'The future of healthcare depends on democratizing access to health data. That's why we're so excited to collaborate with Triangle to help patients and doctors partner around a clear picture of the patient's health history,' said Jason Prestinario, CEO of Particle Health. 'When patients and care teams are empowered with complete, AI-ready health data, better health outcomes follow.'.

“医疗保健的未来取决于健康数据获取的民主化。这就是为什么我们对与Triangle合作感到如此兴奋,以帮助患者和医生围绕患者的健康历史清晰图景进行合作,”Particle Health首席执行官Jason Prestinario表示。“当患者和护理团队掌握完整、可应用于人工智能的健康数据时,就会带来更好的健康结果。”

'Triangle bridges the gap between what's published in the medical literature and what patients actually know is available to them,' said Dr. Kesari. 'It's the kind of tool I want my patients to have.'

“Triangle 弥合了医学文献中发表的内容与患者实际了解的可用信息之间的差距,”Kesari 博士说道。“这正是我希望我的患者拥有的工具。”

'Going through cancer changed how I think about time,' said Verma. 'We all have a limited window to leave a positive mark. AI is the breakthrough technology of our era, and we can use it to give millions of people longer, healthier lives. That's what I want to do with the extra time modern medicine has given me.'.

“患癌经历改变了我对时间的看法,”维尔马说。“我们所有人都有一个有限的窗口期来留下积极的影响。人工智能是我们这个时代的技术突破,我们可以利用它让数百万人拥有更长、更健康的生命。这就是我想用现代医学给予我的额外时间去做的事情。”
