Health doesn’t happen in the doctor’s office.It happens every day in between.

The gap

Most healthcare happens outside the healthcare system.

A doctor’s appointment may last 20 minutes. The decisions that determine what happens next unfold over days, weeks, and months.

Traditional healthcare systems weren’t designed to support and monitor a patient’s progress between visits.

That is the gap Hygia was created to fill.

A medical plan of care bridging into real life — medication, appointments, referrals, questions, barriers, and everything in between.

Introducing Hygia

A holistic platform for continuous healthcare relationships.

Hygia combines conversational artificial intelligence, healthcare-specific workflows, interoperability infrastructure, engagement intelligence, and clinical coordination capabilities in one relationship platform.

At the center is Gia, Hygia’s AI-powered digital health companion. Gia maintains natural, personalized interactions with patients while Hygia connects those conversations to the workflows, intelligence, data, and people responsible for care.

The Hygia relationship platform: Gia maintains the patient relationship at the center, connected to healthcare workflows (what needs to happen), interoperability (what the relationship knows), engagement intelligence (what Hygia learns), and clinical coordination (when people need to act).

Meet Gia

A familiar presence in an unfamiliar system.

Gia is the patient-facing expression of Hygia. She gives patients a natural way to engage with the healthcare organizations responsible for their care through conversational voice and video interactions.

Unlike a traditional chatbot that treats each question as a new interaction, Gia maintains relevant context across the patient journey so conversations can build on what came before.

Medications

Support follow-through, capture medication questions and barriers, and identify changes that may require attention.

Appointments

Help patients prepare questions, remember what matters, understand next steps, and follow through afterward.

Symptoms

Capture changes as they happen instead of relying entirely on the patient to reconstruct events at the next encounter.

Care plans

Reinforce what the care team asked the patient to do and understand whether they are able to carry out the plan.

Prevention and health goals

Support screenings, goals, education, and the actions that need to happen between formal encounters.

Navigation and questions

Help patients understand where to go, what comes next, and when another person needs to become involved.

Behind the dialogue

The conversation is only the beginning.

Every interaction can add to Hygia’s understanding of the patient and what is happening around their care. Hygia connects conversation, healthcare context, workflow, and prior interactions to determine what should happen next.

  1. 1

    Gia engages

    A natural conversation begins around the patient’s current needs and care.

  2. 2

    Context is assembled

    Relevant prior interactions, actions, barriers, preferences, and authorized healthcare information come forward.

  3. 3

    Hygia identifies what changed

    The system recognizes unresolved actions, new information, emerging barriers, and meaningful changes.

  4. 4

    The workflow responds

    Gia can reinforce the next step, gather additional information, or surface the issue for review.

  5. 5

    A person steps in

    The appropriate care manager, clinician, caregiver, navigator, or other team member receives relevant context.

  6. 6

    The relationship continues

    The outcome becomes part of the next interaction instead of disappearing when the episode closes.

For the organization

Gia provides ongoing support to patients.Hygia helps care teams see what needs attention.

Hygia helps distinguish routine engagement from situations that warrant attention, assembling relevant context before a person steps in.

Human judgment stays where it belongs.

Relationship Intelligence

Understand the person behind the healthcare data.

Relationship Intelligence develops through ongoing interaction, revealing the human context that traditional healthcare data often cannot capture.

Clinical data

What is happening with the person's health?

Claims data

What happened within the healthcare system?

Relationship Intelligence

What is happening with the person?

What do they understand, intend to do, worry about, or struggle to follow through on?

A more connected healthcare experience

Healthcare may be fragmented.
The patient experience shouldn’t be.

One patient at the center, connected to primary care, specialists, payors, pharmacy, caregivers and family, community resources, labs and imaging, and hospital systems.

Hygia helps create continuity around the individual, connecting ongoing patient interaction with the organizations and people responsible for care.

The larger idea

Building the relationship layer healthcare has been missing.

Healthcare has built systems to document care, transact processes, analyze data, and facilitate workflow. It has not yet built a way to maintain a relationship with individuals over time.

Hygia is building that layer: Healthcare Relationship Infrastructure.

A continuous patient relationship across visit, home, follow-through, change, and next step. The encounter is episodic. The relationship is continuous.

Healthcare should not disappear between appointments.The relationship shouldn’t either.

See how Hygia can help your organization extend its reach, understand what is happening between traditional points of care, and act when it matters.
