SAN FRANCISCO — APRIL 28, 2026 — PicnicHealth, a health technology company, today announced it is rebranding as PicnicAI and introducing distinct brands for its two product lines: PicnicResearch, for sponsors, sites, and research organizations seeking patient-connected evidence generation; and PicnicHealth, for patients, and their caregivers and healthcare providers, who want a unified platform to take control of their health.
“Today's AI models already have the capability to radically improve human health. Realizing this potential requires bringing that capability to the real-world complexity of care delivery and clinical research,” said Troy Astorino, co-founder and chief technology officer of PicnicAI. “We've spent the last decade building AI that simplifies those challenging processes. Our new name, PicnicAI, recognizes that expertise and the acceleration that is now possible.”
The brand evolution reflects the company’s conviction about what AI can do for human health. It also reflects the organization's growth and the increasing need for the market to understand who the company serves with each of its brands and how.
PicnicResearch serves pharmaceutical and biotechnology sponsors who require rigorous standards of credibility, data quality, and research excellence. Built on direct patient relationships, PicnicResearch offers a differentiated evidence generation platform that drives confident decisions across drug development, label expansion, and long-term safety and effectiveness studies.
PicnicHealth provides health navigation tools and clinical services to patients, and their caregivers and healthcare providers, equipping them to understand diagnoses, treatments, medications, and patterns in their health over time. It gives individuals a full picture of their health history, empowering them to manage their care and access the latest research.
Each brand has a new website that features dedicated pathways for patients and research sponsors and updated product and capability descriptions. To learn more, visit Picnic.AI, PicnicHealth.com, and PicnicResearch.com.

List the names of all the doctors, hospitals, and other facilities your loved one visits regularly, along with those they have visited in the past. Try to go back as far as you can, striving for at least the last 5-10 years, but do your best. Even if you can’t remember them all, having a strong baseline can help you quickly identify gaps in records.
It is important to make sure that you are fully empowered to make decisions on behalf of your loved one with Alzheimer’s. Your relationship status with the patient may not be enough to legally give you access to your loved one's medical information. It is a good idea to talk to an expert about securing special legal status, such as Power of Attorney (POA), a legal document that allows an individual to name someone as their decision maker should they no longer be able to make decisions on their own.
It’s important to have all of your loved one’s medical records together in one spot. This makes it much easier for you and your loved one’s physicians to accurately map the patient’s medical journey and more easily share information between doctors. Fortunately, tools exist to make record management and access simple. A free resource like PicnicHealth helps you collect and organize all of this information. PicnicHealth’s intuitive timeline allows you to pinpoint data across the medical history, eliminating your need for keeping heavy binders filled with paper records or keeping track of multiple software portal logins.
The better you understand your loved one's medical history, the better you can advocate on their behalf. Access and understanding of this information will help you to ask informed questions with physicians. Through regular communication backed by the data in the medical records, you can help your loved one’s care team develop a more successful care plan.

Learn MoreWhen you’re juggling appointment times and insurance claims, putting a robust support system together might not strike you as the most urgent task. Investing the time to cultivate relationships with people can turn to in times of need will pay dividends. The next time you need a last-minute ride or just someone to listen, you won’t be on your own.
There are many condition-specific support groups and support groups for caregivers generally in person or online. In addition to the encouragement and empathy they provide, support groups can be a helpful source of tips, resources, and recommendations for navigating caregiving.
The backbone of effective caregiving is organization. Keep medical information, appointment schedules, and medication lists in order. Use a planner or a digital service like PicnicHealth to stay on top of your responsibilities. This attention to detail can prevent future complications and reduce day-to-day stress.
We’ve seen incredible breakthroughs in treatment over the past couple of years, powered by patients and their caregivers participating in research. Stay in the loop about the latest in medical advancements and available resources that could benefit your loved one. Whether it’s a new therapy option or a community service that aids independence, being informed can make a world of difference in the quality of care you provide.
It may seem self-centered to focus on self-care—but when you feel good, you can be a better caregiver. Whether it’s exercise, a mindfulness practice, a soak in the bath, or just time to rest when you need it, carve out those moments in the day when you can unwind, reset, and stay healthy mentally and physically. Think of it as building up your reserves of kindness, patience, and understanding—which can only benefit your loved one. No one can pour from an empty cup.
Easily manage all of your loved one's medical records and contribute to ongoing Alzheimer's research with PicnicHealth.
