Real-world medical records quickly break common assumptions used to develop AI techniques in academic settings, and it’s these real-world issues that make our job difficult and interesting. They’re also the reason that “pretty good on a benchmark” has never translated into a great solution for the tasks we train on.

PicnicHealth’s AI strategy is focused on building personal medical AI that helps patients get better care and, through our research-focused products, eventually better therapeutic options. To do this, our approach to large language model (LLM) development introduces a distinctive dimension – we bring generalized medical knowledge together with a detailed understanding of a patient’s own medical journey by interpreting their records.

Today, PicnicHealth announces PicnicAI, the groundbreaking technology that unlocks the Universal Patient Record. PicnicAI collects medical records from everywhere in the U.S. and transforms them into meaningful data for patients and researchers. It is powered by a proprietary, industry-leading LLM that outperforms GPT-4 and healthcare industry-specific models in accuracy, efficiency, and cost on tasks that involve structuring or understanding medical records. ‍

This week PicnicHealth unveiled PicnicAI, an AI-driven platform designed to rapidly unlock universal medical records and deliver accurate insights for patients and life science companies.

Recruitment is essential for generating data on drug efficacy, which is crucial for the approval of new medical treatments. Clinical trial success hinges on the ability to recruit a sufficient and appropriate number of participants.

PicnicHealth is simplifying observational research by combining a direct-to-patient approach, industry-leading AI and technology, and world-class clinical expertise to capture the patient experience in an unprecedented level of detail.

As stakeholders increasingly seek more robust evidence from registries and observational studies, researchers must adopt innovative methods for generating data. Previously restricted by outdated study models, evidence generation can now be more efficient and flexible through the use of cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence. New technology-driven methods frees life science companies from historical constraints, enabling a deeper understanding of the course of disease, drug effectiveness, safety, and quality of life (QoL).

As the life sciences landscape continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to conduct highly efficient yet deeply insightful and reliable research is crucial. PicnicHealth Pulse is specifically designed to address the shortcomings of traditional observational study approaches

PicnicHealth launched its life science product today to enable high-quality, low-burden research for life sciences companies and patients.

PicnicHealth today announced it was ranked among the World’s Best Digital Health Companies by Newsweek and named the “Best MedTech Startup” by MedTech Breakthrough.

Nancy Dreyer, PhD, MPH, FISE, chief scientific advisor to Picnic Health, shares some of the ways that direct-to-patient approaches have improved observational research.

AI allows patients, doctors, and payers to make informed decisions based on evidence at a much faster pace.

In honor of Rare Disease Day, we dived into an insightful Q&A session with PicnicHealth's Chief Medical Officer, Daniel R. Drozd, an MD at the forefront of pioneering healthcare research.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize that Black history and the wellness of Black communities must be top of mind every day of the year. Despite the many contributions Black people have made to medicine and wellness, alarming health disparities due to structural and interpersonal racism, still exist for Black people.

PicnicHealth announced the launch of a new study portal to facilitate faster, more accurate observational research.

In honor of Rare Disease Awareness Month, we're thrilled to kick off our #ShareYourRare campaign. We believe that your stories matter, and through #ShareYourRare, we want to highlight the often-overlooked challenges and stories of those who are living with a rare condition.

In celebration of Rare Disease Month, we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on Change Champions, dedicated partners, and organizations making a lasting impact on rare disease research throughout the year. At the forefront of this movement is Rare Patient Voice, a remarkable resource founded with a singular mission – to provide patients and family caregivers a platform to be heard by actively participating in diverse research endeavors, including rare diseases.

Navigating the complex medical landscape is an imposing journey, and it becomes even more challenging when your child is diagnosed with a rare condition like Achondroplasia.

In the heart of Urbana, Ohio, Lydia and her husband Charlie embarked on an unexpected journey that began with the arrival of their daughter, Dagny. Diagnosed with achondroplasia, their story is one of discovery, resilience, and unwavering love.

In a world where each child's journey is unique, Brynn’s story stands out for its strength and resilience. Diagnosed with achondroplasia, Brynn, and her family, have navigated a path filled with challenges, discoveries, and immense love.
