Short Description: A digital platform that simplifies advance directive completion with accessible language and an AI chatbot, empowering patients to easily document their healthcare preferences.
Lessons Learned: 1) While the problem of completing advanced directives is recognized and our platform generates excitement, the greatest challenge is identifying a decision-maker willing to pay for the service. 2) Through interviews, we refined our target from broad healthcare providers to value-based organizations and Medicare Advantage plans that prioritize advance care planning and are incentivized to limit end-of-life costs.
