What Buoy is

A second read on all of you.

You should not have to gamble with your own body to get a real answer. Buoy reads everything you have, weighs the real evidence, and names the few things worth trying that your doctors never raised. Safely, and always pointed back to your doctor.

The problem

Your story, lost in the noise.

A million data points from influencers, podcasts, and doctors. All of it louder than the one record that is actually you.

So you guess. And you keep missing what is already sitting in your own records.

Step 1

Upload everything.

Your notes, labs, records, and wearables. Every page, across every year and every doctor. The whole picture, in one place, for the first time.

Step 2

Buoy interviews you.

A few questions about what you have already tried and what you actually want. Your goals shape the read, so every answer is about you and your record.

Step 3

We surface what was missed.

Three things worth trying: what your doctors never raised, what is safe to test, and exactly how to tell if it worked. Each one graded on a 5-point evidence scale and screened against your current medications.

Step 4

Then we stay with you.

We follow up and watch how you progress, turn after turn. Your first read opens an ongoing case, reviewed again as your body and your records change.

The panel

Every specialty, edited by a physician.

A general chatbot hands you fifty ideas and no way to tell which are safe. Every Buoy specialty has a named, board-certified physician editor who keeps it current and safe. The reasoning is theirs. The accountability is real. Assembled by a Harvard physician.

  • CvCardiology
  • NuNeurology
  • EnEndocrinology
  • PrPreventive Medicine
  • PsPsychiatry

Each kept current by a named, board-certified physician editor.
