ASTRID

ASTRID Healthcare AI Feature Announcement — Photo Analysis Skin cancer caught early has a five-year survival rate above 99%. If caught later, that number falls below 36%. Timing makes a big difference. ASTRID can already listen and speak. Soon, she will see. ASTRID can see your skin. Photograph a mole, a bug bite, a cut, or a bruise, and ASTRID tells you what she's looking at and whether it needs attention now or just watching. ASTRID can see your paperwork. Photograph a lab report or an after-visit summary, and she translates it into plain language before your next appointment. ASTRID can see your food. Photograph a meal, and she breaks down what's actually in it — estimated calories, protein, key vitamins, and more. One new sense. Many uses. Always guidance, never a diagnosis — and never a replacement for your doctor. This follows AI Medical Specialties and Weather Effects, launching alongside more to come. What would you photograph first — a symptom, a lab result, or a meal? Tell us in the comments. Launching soon.

New ASTRID AI Feature Announcement — Weather Effects Heat kills more Americans every year than hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods combined. Nature's silent killer. ASTRID now tells you how today's weather might affect your health, specifically — not generic advice, but guidance based on your actual conditions and medications. She notes the weather where you actually are — heat, cold, humidity, pressure changes, pollen, air quality — and connects them to what she knows about your health. Then she tells you what to do about it today. Asthma and a cold front moving in. Migraines and a falling barometer. Heart conditions and a heat advisory. A prescription that changes how you handle a hot afternoon. Not a forecast. Guidance, for you, today. Available worldwide, in every city. Always guidance, never a diagnosis — and never a replacement for your doctor. This announcement follows yesterday's AI Medical Specialties — 22 dedicated medical specialty AI agents, launching alongside this and more. What's a weather pattern that reliably affects how you feel? Tell us in the comments. Launching soon.

Most people don't open a health app asking "what's wrong with me." They often wonder "who do I ask about this?" That's the question ASTRID AI Medical Specialties answers. Instead of one general assistant handling everything, you choose the specialty that fits what you need: Cardiology · Dermatology · Ear, Nose, Throat and Head and Neck · Endocrinology · Fitness and Athletic Training · Gastroenterology · Hematology-Oncology · Infectious Disease · Longevity and Healthspan · Nephrology · Neurology · Nutrition · Obstetrics and Gynecology · Ophthalmology · Orthopedics · Pediatrics · Physical Therapy · Pulmonology · Recovery · Rheumatology · Sleep Medicine · Urology General Practice remains your starting point. Everything else goes deeper. Each specialty built and tuned for its own domain. Available to you at all times. More specialties to be added over time. Guidance, not a diagnosis — and never a replacement for your doctor. But a step towards meeting your doctor halfway with knowledge. Because healthcare belongs to the people. It always has. Coming soon. One of many new features. Spread the word.

ASTRID launched in February, 2026. In less than six months, she's been used in 1,363 cities. The 25 most active using ASTRID's healthcare AI are below. Some are the markets you would expect. Others — Lahore, Monterrey, Mexico City, Bengaluru, Dubai, Singapore — are not places health AI is immediately built for. That second group is the reason ASTRID was built as a global platform rather than a sole U.S. one. A person concerned for particular symptoms, whether in Karachi or Kansas City, is worried about the same thing. What differs is access to quality technology. 1,363 cities in six months tells us the need for access is universal. We're just getting started. Follow our growth, and spread the word. myastrid.ai — Team ASTRID

Health questions can occur in waves. A family might be handling a child's fever, a dog's limp, and a lingering toothache all in the same week. Three different concerns. Three fields of medicine. Households juggle separate apps and separate searches for each one. ASTRID brings all three into a single conversation. Open the app and choose your AI companion: Medical, Dental, or Veterinary. We built it this way for a simple reason. Health doesn't stay in one lane inside a real household. A single evening might include a parent's blood pressure reading, a kid's orthodontist appointment, and a worried check on the family dog. One platform. Three specialties. Clinical guidance behind every answer, across species and across domains. This is what AI Health Intelligence looks like when it's designed to be practical.

ASTRID today, since our launch in late Feb, 2026: 95 countries. Medical, dental, and veterinary intelligence in one platform. 100% organic growth, all word of mouth. 58% engagement rate. 44,193 ASTRID interactions. 40% of all activity outside the U.S. 12 countries post engagement rates above 65%. Sweden and Poland lead at 82%. Pakistan, Kenya, and Nigeria close behind. Healthcare access is a moral failure, in wealthy and poor markets alike. ASTRID was built to close the gap. It's working.

Let me tell you about a "10x-er" at our company. A 10x-er is a person who can do the job of 10 people. Dr. Tomás Iglesias is our CTO at ASTRID. After building alongside him for a while, I only wish I'd had met him sooner. In the multiple healthtech companies I’ve started, he is easily one of the hardest working people I have worked with. Tomás is both a compassionate family physician and a gifted AI software developer. He is one of two doctors creating the AI for us. Before ASTRID, Tomás founded and built one of the first healthcare super apps in Mexico, years before "healthcare super app" was a headline in the U.S. He teaches AI at local colleges, training the next generation of builders while shipping code with us late into the night. Outside work (which is rare) he catalogs insects as an amateur entomologist and collects Star Wars memorabilia. He also has a thing for fun t-shirts. He has won the respect of every single person on our team. Hungry for ASTRID's mission. Hungry for knowledge. Hungry to leave the world better than he found it. Pleasant. Intense. Focused. Tomás never asked to be CTO -- he earned it by demonstrating extraordinary leadership and work ethic every startup craves. ASTRID is on a one-way trip to change primary care forever, and I can't imagine this journey without him. In four short months since launch ASTRID found users in 90 countries. Including Tomás’ native Mexico. Proud to build this with you, amigo. Let's change the world.

Four months ago, ASTRID launched with a $0 marketing budget. Since then: 90 countries. 37,000+ ASTRID interactions. 57% engagement rate. 100% organic. No paid acquisition. No ads. A caregiver in Mexico. A physician in India. A parent in Kenya. People around the world crave trustworthy health intelligence. American health intelligence. Four months in -- and we're just getting started.
