    Anybody on HN knows platforms to discuss this ?

      I’ve been waiting 10 years for articles like this on HN. I used to wonder why nobody here was discussing or building startups around health. Turns out they are, but those topics are discussed on specialized medical forums.

      Apparently, physical health isn’t something you’re going to talk about with investors and users, even though it affects everyone. Before AI, this field was too specialized and there were very few founders willing to work in it.

        Yeah makes sense. It might also be a different culture, software likes hacking and open source, while serious medicine not so much.
