AI-Powered Personalized Treatments
The United States is facing a mental health crisis, with stigma, lack of education, and a shortage of mental health professionals creating a significant gap in access to treatment. Traditional treatment often involves multiple visits, time, and financial burdens, and it’s typically based on a single provider’s experience. To resolve this, MedMatch aims to assist providers in identifying the optimal treatment for each patient, including the most suitable treatment formulation, dosage strength, and form factor. It is trained on anonymized historical clinical data, demographics, treatment types, and patient outcomes.
MedMatch is initially deployed for customers seeking support for anxiety and depression on the Hims & Hers platform. The platform is currently in Beta and utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning. It leverages an extensive dataset from the Hims & Hers platform, incorporating millions of anonymized data points from millions of customers.
Future Expansion and Development
As MedMatch’s development continues, the plan is to enhance its capabilities and expand it to cover additional health categories on the Hims & Hers platform. The goal is to provide personalized care to patients across various healthcare conditions. Hims & Hers promises further developments and updates on MedMatch in the coming months.
