The Problem

After every visit, patient care falls apart between systems.

Follow-ups, care plan adherence, and patient monitoring are manual, time consuming, and insufficient - leaving patients unsupported, nurses overloaded, and health systems losing billions to readmissions and other penalties.

‍

Their Solution

Kaigo Health builds an AI outpatient care workforce - autonomous agents that continuously follow-up, monitor, and advocate for patients, then report back to their human care teams with actionable insights. All of this is delivered through simple, accessible phone calls with a voice agent specifically designed for older adults.

Kaigo helps providers scale outpatient care management 100× without scaling headcount, driving fewer readmissions, higher quality scores, and stronger value-based performance.

‍

Vision

Kaigo aims to build a new infrastructure for healthcare beyond the 4 walls of the clinic - a layer of autonomous, scalable health monitoring, coordination, and delivery that seamlessly fills in the gaps between their current fragmented system, transforming healthcare into a continuous, ambient part of everyday life.

They are starting with providers: giving them powerful technology to dramatically expand their outpatient care capacity, thrive under value-based care, and ensure every patient has a proactive, friendly voice looking out for their health between visits.

‍

Their Story

The team started Kaigo after seeing how fragile recovery becomes once patients leave the hospital. Their families wanted to stay healthy, yet support faded the moment they got home. They are building Kaigo so care continues where life happens.
