Carine Carmy shared thisEach morning I drop my daughter at preschool, I always take the same route home. There's one intersection where I always go straight. Turning right means entering one of the infamous bumper-to-bumper intersections in Los Angeles (and if you know anything about LA traffic, if a street is known for bad traffic, it must be REAL bad). This morning, I paused before defaulting. Looked right, and it was completely clear! That five-second pause saved me five minutes. I laughed at myself the whole rest of the way home. Because I do this in business constantly. Move fast, make the call, keep going. It's one of my best qualities as a founder, but a bias toward action can sometimes be at odds with quality decision making. So I've been trying to ask one question before committing to anything significant: Is time on my side, or is the time now? - "Time on my side" means sit with it. Let more information come in. Let a problem sometimes dissolve on its own. - "The time is now" means stop thinking and go. The whole game is actually asking the question instead of just turning the same direction out of habit. Happy Thursday from a happy, non-gridlocked mom.

Carine Carmy shared thisCall me crazy, but I'm still more optimistic than pessimistic about the future of women's health. And last week, I got to spend a few hours with the women who are why. Big thank you to Jessica Fisher and Cat Canada for bringing together a powerhouse group of builders and advocates last week. I left energized by what each person is building - especially in a moment when the legal ground keeps shifting under all of us. Especially you, Jessica. Launching Lavela Health right now takes guts. A platform creating space for the tough conversations around reproductive loss that the healthcare system largely refuses to have. There are so many resources handed to patients during pregnancy visits (pamphlets for days!), but when you experience a loss, you're left to swim in an ocean of grief alone. Whether that grief is shallow or deep, "see you at your next pap" isn't a care plan. Women deserve more than a system that shows up for the hopeful moments and disappears for the hard ones. Congrats on the launch, Jessica. 👏👏👏 cc Kiki Freedman Rachel Mandelbaum, MD, FACOG Elaine Welteroth Jenney Korasick Hannah Linkenhoker Anna Malaika Tubbs Melissa Goldstein

Carine Carmy reposted thisCarine Carmy reposted thisWhile the OB-GYN shortage and the maternal mortality crisis have rightly dominated the healthcare conversation, pelvic floor health is one of the most underdiagnosed, undertreated, and rarely talked about gaps in women’s health. That’s why we’re so excited about this new partnership with Origin to deliver an integrated pelvic floor therapy program for Carrot members. Integrated pelvic floor therapy supports: ✅ Healthier pregnancies ✅ Faster postpartum recovery and return to work ✅ Better long-term health outcomes. Simply put, it helps people feel better, stay present, and perform at their best. This partnership represents a meaningful step forward, bringing an underrepresented area of care to the forefront.

Carine Carmy shared thisI always have FOMO whenever my friends tell me about their Carrot benefits. From postpartum doulas to fertility specialists and so much more, Tammy Sun and the Carrot team have created a platform that embodies what holistic, end-to-end support should look like for women and families. So I'm thrilled to share that Origin will now be available to Carrot members starting this summer, bringing pelvic floor therapy into the homes and workplaces of millions. The future feels good! 🚀Carine Carmy shared thisPelvic health has been treated as a nice-to-have for too long — and the cost of that neglect shows up in every part of a woman's life. We're joining forces with leading global fertility and family care platform Carrot to make pelvic floor physical therapy accessible to members across the country. Together, we're bringing a long-overlooked area of care into the mainstream of employer benefits, where it belongs. 85% of Carrot members report symptoms related to pelvic floor health, and soon their benefits can cover treatment. Through this partnership, Carrot members can access Origin's virtual and in-person pelvic floor physical therapy and proprietary digital programs, covering the full spectrum of pelvic health needs: from fertility and postpartum recovery to bladder leaks, pelvic pain, and menopause support. Coming June 3, 2026. Check your benefits: if your employer offers Carrot, pelvic floor therapy coverage is coming soon!

Carine Carmy reposted thisOverwhelm over documentation was the biggest complaint we heard from Origin clinicians last year. So we built Athena, our proprietary clinical AI tool, trained on data from over 50,000 pelvic floor PT patients. It sits directly on top of our EHR, compiles patient history, assists with note writing, and surfaces payor-specific requirements in real time. Three months in, clinician NPS around documentation is up more than 50 points. More on how we approached it in our latest article.Carine Carmy reposted thisDocumentation burden is one of the leading causes of clinician burnout, and it was a top concern we heard from our clinicians last year. Meet Athena, our proprietary clinical AI tool that sits directly on top of our EHR to reduce documentation burden and give clinicians back the time and headspace to focus on patients.

Carine Carmy shared thisToday is Origin's 6th birthday! 🎂 Six years ago, Nona Farahnik Yadegar, David Yadegar, and I launched Origin in the middle of a pandemic, not knowing what the next month would hold. We saw something missing in the healthcare system: highly specialized care that women desperately needed but couldn't easily access. We set out to change that. Last week, we opened our 20th clinic. Over 10,000 providers have now referred their patients to Origin. We support women virtually in all 50 states. 96% of our patients use insurance, paying on average just $36 out of pocket (compared to $200–$300 at the cash rate). And pelvic health is finally part of mainstream conversations. I'm so proud of what we've built and grateful for everyone who's supported us along the way. None of this happened without our incredible team, who grew from a handful of clinicians to a powerful national network of pelvic and women's health experts. Without providers who trusted us to care for their patients. Without the patients who got better and told a friend. And without our investors who shared our vision from day one. There is so much work still ahead. We believe pelvic floor and women's health PT should be the norm across the country. We're not stopping until it is! #pelvichealth #womenshealth #pelvicfloor #startup

Carine Carmy shared thisThe great "build v. buy" debate is about to shift big time. When we launched Origin back in 2020, 9 out of 10 times it did not make sense to build. We were a rapidly evolving startup and there were relatively cost effective, off-the-shelf tools that could get us quite far. Over the years, we've of course built several of these products ourselves as our needs became more specialized and we could gain efficiencies in house. But in the last 18 months, the pendulum has swung dramatically to BUILD. Why spend $20, $50 or $200 per employee per month on features we can build in hours or days? Plus, our AI products are build on our proprietary data set and for our workflows, customization that would be truly impossible with a third-party in a time frame that would make any sense. Super bullish on the future of "full stack," likely with the exception of core EHR / billing features. Shout out to our amazing CTO Nick Kavassalis for making this possible at Origin. Thanks to Halle Tecco, MPH, MBA for sharing these use cases! PS - no AI was used in this post, I'm just pumped 😂Carine Carmy shared thisIn “Services: The New Software,” Julien Bek of Sequoia argues that the next wave of AI winners will come from companies that sell outcomes rather than tools. In other words, the value is shifting away from selling software and toward delivering the service itself. In that sense, healthcare is already there. The industry has always been built around companies that provide care, with third-party software increasingly layered throughout. Many of those tools have been valuable, but they are starting to look interchangeable, whether because incumbents (ahem, Epic) replicate and underprice key features, or because it’s becoming increasingly easy to build them in-house. That shift puts healthcare services startups in a strong position. They have something pure software plays do not: a full stack. They own the care model, the patient relationship, the clinical data, and the operations. When AI is embedded across that stack, it strengthens the core service and reinforces a competitive advantage. I wanted to share eight tangible examples of healthcare services companies putting AI to work in ways that already move the needle, including cases from: Honor Ro Akido Labs Everlywell Origin Cityblock Health Aledade, Inc. Virta Health Thank you to these founders for sharing your insights. Check it out today on my (entirely free) Substack. Link in comments.

Carine Carmy shared this📣 To all my friends in the East Bay, Origin is officially open in Berkeley! Elated to be expanding in the Bay Area and under the leadership of the exceptional Natalie Russell, PT, DPT, OCS. PS - we're hiring!Carine Carmy shared thisClinic #20 is now open in Berkeley, CA. 🎉 We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off our sixth birthday celebrations this month! Six years ago, pelvic health symptoms were still considered niche. Today, pelvic health is part of mainstream wellness conversations, and over 10,000 providers have referred their patients to Origin. The Bay Area community is proof of that momentum — 1% of SF’s population has already come through our doors, making our expansion to the East Bay a natural next step. Leading our Berkeley clinic is Dr. Natalie Russell, PT, DPT, OCS, who spent years on our SF team as physical therapist and Clinical Director. We're thrilled to have her build Origin's footprint in the East Bay. As always, in-person isn't the only option. Virtual and hybrid care are available so patients can get the support they need, wherever they are. Here's to six years of patients getting the care they deserve — and to everyone still on their way to us.

Carine Carmy reacted on thisCarine Carmy reacted on thisMeet Yuba, my excessively large Maine Coon. He’s been a sick guy over the last few months with some combo of GI inflammation and an unclear jaw/mouth problem. I’ve seen a few jokey posts recently about AI models for pets and generally making fun of startups working on pet health. Except the pets living forever one investors love that. But the failings in vet care track pretty closely to a lot of what we’ve been working on in human care, and their illnesses absolutely impact family stress and wallets. -> primary care that refers but doesn’t really follow up proactively or serve as the orchestrator of what’s going on, so I am doing it. Concierge pet PCPs are thriving in the Bay Area bc of this void. -> the subspecialist continuing down the path of assuming weight loss must be due to a mild finding on endoscopy vs clear cut behavioral factors - we kept him on a restriction diet too long + the dog was secretly stealing his food! I have to push on de-escalating care in this context. -> requires an office visit just for a weight check, requiring time off work and hundreds of dollars for a ten minute visit -> nobody was trained on dental/mouth stuff beyond the basics so we are waiting 2 more months for that specialist to be available But at least the costs are transparent! To the people working on this, Godspeed and I wish Scrub could invest in you. Perhaps fund 2.

Carine Carmy liked thisCarine Carmy liked thisUpdate on my AI productivity wishlist from 4 months ago. TLDR: the inbox problem is solved. The personal CRM problem dissolved, turned out I didn't need a separate tool, just the right sources plugged into the right action layer. The rest are still open. Feedback / ideas welcome. ❌❌ Linkedin search still terrible. A few tools can help (i.e. Happenstance) but fastest way it's still Googling "Name + Company + LinkedIn". Send help. ❌ Voice functionality on most apps is still mediocre (doesn't tap into same context / connectivity as text-based). Speech-to-text is the best compromise but doesn't solve my goal of wanting to talk to my AI while I drive to work to triage my emails / texts messages. ❌ GPT-style search across WhatsApp and iMessage: friends have hacked together working versions with Genspark or Claude, but they break constantly. Not an easy way to set this up yet ✅✅ Auto-drafted emails: CHECK. Wild how good this got. Saves me ~1.5 hours a day. Huge. ❌ Smart notification muting: not yet. Temporary workaround: Claude skills and routines that scan all my comms and flag the important stuff so I can ignore the noise. 💡✅ Personal CRM: turns out I don't need one. If the action layer already has my email, calendar, and messages, it already knows who people are, where I met them, and what we last talked about... and surfaces them at the right time when I need it (or when I ask it about it via chat). No separate CRM to maintain. Town is my current favorite system of actions (highly recommend trying it). 🆕 New, up for debate: I still use Superhuman Mail as my primary inbox, but their AI has fallen behind post-acquisition. I'm drafting and sending via Town and Claude more often, skipping Superhuman altogether. What would be magic: using that empty right-hand real estate to surface context from incoming emails. Affinity integration would be a game-changer 🙏. In the absence of that, email clients that don't pull in rich context will just go away imo.

Carine Carmy reacted on thisCarine Carmy reacted on thisThe hardest decision I've ever made as a founder turned out to be the easiest. Robyn is joining the Tot Squad family. Eight years ago, I started Robyn because I felt completely alone in my fertility journey. Over time, we built a beautiful community, a network of 300+ vetted experts, and an AI doula trained on thousands of real conversations between parents and doulas. When I met Jennifer Saxton, I realized we'd spent years building the same thing from two different angles. I built Robyn to give parents a guide. Jen built Tot Squad to give them the help itself. Same mission. Different doors in. Now, at Tot Squad, we can help moms in more ways than ever before. Our AI doula will join Tot Squad’s platform, which includes its footprint in Target stores nationwide and its Motherfund platform, which enables moms to add services and support directly to their baby registries at major retailers, supporting moms from pregnancy through the first year of motherhood. I'm staying on as an advisor because I believe so strongly in what we’re building. Robyn was my first baby, and I'm handing her to someone who'll take what we built and put it in the hands of so many more. The best is still ahead.

The $100B Opportunity in Male Sexual Health Tech View My Portfolio The conversation around sexual wellness has evolved significantly in the past decade, but male sexual health remains one of the least innovated categories in consumer health technology. Despite representing a potential $100 billion global market, male-focused solutions are still dominated by short-term pharmaceuticals rather than long-term wellness and data-driven innovation. New research in digital urology, endocrinology, and psychosexual medicine is opening opportunities for a new generation of products—ones that address not just function, but holistic health. These include smart performance monitors, hormonal tracking rings, circulation-optimizing devices, and platforms for stress and relationship management. Three trends are reshaping this overlooked segment: • Integration of biometric feedback: Wearables that monitor vascular response, recovery, and hormonal rhythm are helping men understand performance as part of total health. • Shift toward preventive care: Men’s wellness brands are moving from reactive solutions to proactive tracking, emphasizing sleep, fitness, and hormonal balance as core factors. • Cultural redefinition: Social stigma around male vulnerability and intimacy is beginning to fade, supported by research-based education and discreet, design-forward innovation. The lesson for investors and brands is clear: the next phase of growth in sexual wellness will be gender-inclusive and medically credible. Men’s health technology is not just an extension of traditional markets—it is a complete reinvention of how masculinity, health, and intimacy intersect. At V For Vibes, we see the future of sexual wellness as inherently inclusive. Addressing male health with the same scientific rigor and emotional intelligence long applied to female wellness is essential to advancing a balanced and sustainable global market. #SexTech #MensHealth #DigitalWellness #HealthInnovation #VForVibes

Exciting news! MoldCo is now live and available in California. Our clinician-led digital health platform standardizes mold detox as routine preventive care rising to meet the growing, often hidden health risks mold poses. A recent LA Times article perfectly captures the challenge: modern, energy-efficient homes can unintentionally trap moisture, creating an ideal environment for mold growth that affects both home durability and occupant health. At MoldCo, we combine advanced lab testing and personalized therapies to detect and prevent mold-related illness before it starts. Prevention is better than remediation. Californians now have a trusted partner in MoldCo to help protect their homes and health. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gxdkjyf5

In my work with healthcare startups, it’s easy to focus on product-market fit, regulatory pathways, and capital raises. The less obvious (and sometimes under-leveraged) lever: the alignment conversation. The essential question is: “How does what we’re doing fit with what you want to achieve?” Before we spend another round building features or planning our next hire, let’s ask: ❓ What does success look like for our user/hospital/payer partner in 12 months? ❓What will they stop doing, start doing, or measure differently because of our product? ❓How does our team align with that outcome, and what needs to shift to ensure alignment holds? Because the most sophisticated tech means nothing if it’s not built around the right conversation. #healthcare #innovation #communication https://lnkd.in/g8dRDyne

Oral health is finally getting its moment in the startup spotlight. The SMILE Health accelerator has just launched its biggest cohort yet, featuring eight startups from 15 countries that tackle everything from AI dental triage to kid-friendly crowns. Why it matters: - 3.5B people affected by oral disease - $400M+ in VC funding in 2024, but still underfunded compared to the rest of healthcare They’re solving real problems with access, prevention, and integration. Backed by CareQuest, MATTER, Cigna, Delta, and Colgate, a fundamental change is happening, and we're going to witness it. #DentalTech #HealthTech #OralHealth

Thanks Aaron Ferber! Just finished up a talk at HLTH on "Human Centered Design Principles in the Age of AI". Well attended, and well received. Couldn't have picked a better partner in Aaron Ferber @ Ascension, who has a background spanning startups and design consulting (IDEO) to mission driven health. We covered: 1. Funnels vs. Anti-funnels. Aka don't make patients download an app or you'll lose 70% of them. 2. Give value to get value. Make sure you have a "guest" experience - airlines & ecommerce figured this out long ago. 3. The power of "defaults". Aka when to use opt-in vs. opt-out and how radical a difference it made in say organ donation rates. 4. Test everything. You're wrong. You just don't know specifically how you're wrong until you test. Send your engineers into hospital/health facilities and have the sit in the waiting room for a couple of hours. 5. Using AI for a human touch. I.e. how to personalize at scale, what you know about education or reading level to alter the way you talk to patients. Full video in the next week or two. For now, here's what I said above in video format for those who didn't open this message :-) #HLTH25 and #HLTHUSA

Everyone's talking about AI and GLP-1s as solutions. I'm seeing them as symptoms of a bigger problem. I recently spoke with Martha Rosenberg for KevinMD about what happens to our brains when we reach for shortcuts instead of building real capability. Here's what 30 years of behavior change research and neuroscience has taught me: When tools do the work for us, our brain stops wiring the skills that create lasting competence. Whether it's AI writing our emails or GLP-1s controlling our appetite, we're bypassing hormesis: the strength built through struggle and overcoming difficulty. Think about how a baby learns to walk. No SMART goals. No performance targets. Just iteration. Practice, wobble, fall, get back up. That's our brain's natural learning system. But somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we learned to be performative. To chase results over practice. To look for easy buttons. The problem? • 71% of people discontinue GLP-1s (and regain weight with more fat, less muscle) • AI users develop weaker critical thinking and writing skills over time • Both create dependency without building the neural circuitry for lasting change Here's what most people don't know: The habenula—a half-centimeter structure deep in your brain—controls your motivation, dopamine, decision-making, sleep, hunger, and more. When triggered by failure or disappointment, it shuts down your motivation to keep trying. GLP-1s can help quiet the habenula temporarily. But they're a cast on a broken leg. If the bone never heals, you can never take the cast off. The iterative mindset is different. Our research shows it has a 300% stronger correlation with health habit formation than traditional goal-setting approaches. Look at the most successful people in any field. They didn't get there through shortcuts. They got there through iteration. For employers and health plans: This matters for your wellness programs. Easy solutions create short-term wins but long-term dependency. Building an iterative mindset in your workforce creates resilience, adaptability, and sustainable behavior change. Read the full interview on KevinMD: https://lnkd.in/eC9vfFRJ What's your take? Are we trading long-term capability for short-term convenience?

The journeys of Omada Health and Hinge Health show what it takes to move from vision to scale in digital health. IPOs like these aren’t just financial milestones — they represent years of navigating market shifts, refining leadership, and keeping patient outcomes at the center while building sustainable growth. Rock Health Summit’s focus on “Mission Meets Market” gets to the heart of the challenge for healthcare innovation: how to balance purpose with performance. It’s one thing to create solutions that work in pilots or niche settings, and another to build companies that transform care at scale. For emerging markets, the lesson is especially relevant. Scaling healthcare innovation requires models that are financially viable, clinically effective, and accessible across diverse systems. The intersection of mission and market isn’t just the path to IPO — it’s the path to impact. #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #ScalingImpact
