FAQ
From Patient, 9:41 AM
Who are you?
OpenHand was born from our own frustrating experiences with healthcare—our CEO is a stage-3 cancer survivor who’s navigated the system firsthand. We are a team of experienced clinicians, AI engineers, patients, and industry veterans from Stanford Medicine, Cornell Tech, Apple, Snap, and more. We’ve developed software at companies of all sizes from early stage startups to public companies with experience in building in healthcare and launching AI products. Bringing all these perspectives together, we’ve crafted OpenHand to help empower patients with the latest technology to navigate their care and its costs, and aim for a fairer system.
How is AI using my health information?
Your privacy and security is non-negotiable. OpenHand’s AI uses your information only to help you prepare for visits and navigate costs. How we protect you: - You’re in control. You choose what to share and with whom; you can revoke access anytime. - No selling. No ads. We never sell your data or use it for targeted advertising. - HIPAA-aligned by design. We use a HIPAA-compliant architecture and sign BAAs with required partners. - No model training on your PHI by default. We don’t train foundation models on your identifiable health data unless you explicitly opt in. If we analyze usage to improve the product, we use de-identified and aggregated data. - Transparency. We’ll always tell you what’s being used and why. No surprises.
Does OpenHand give medical advice like a doctor?
No, OpenHand is not a medical-advice app. We don’t diagnose, treat, or prescribe. OpenHand is a care preparation and cost-navigation co-pilot that helps you communicate clearly with your clinician and navigate the costs of care (coverage, billing, lower-cost options) so you can save money and make better, informed decisions with your doctor. We organize your symptoms, questions, and meds into a concise summary; your clinician provides the medical expertise.
