Healthcare AI Consulting

From LLM Hype to Agentic Reality

While LLMs are rapidly becoming a commodity, the path to a functional, agentic healthcare solution is steeper than ever. The "last mile" of adoption is often blocked by the friction of legacy workflows, rigorous regulation, and the high stakes of patient data privacy.

Bare Labs is a vertical AI incubation and consulting firm designed to bridge the gap between promise and production.

We don't just advise on AI; we help you build AI that survives the complexities of the US healthcare system.

As the co-founders of MyndYou in 2016 - acquired by Windrose Health Investors in 2023 and Arbiter in 2025 - we pioneered conversational AI for patient engagement while educating the market and navigating both contemporary complexities and emergent industry shifts. We mastered the art of trust creation with diverse healthcare stakeholders and patients, all while maintaining the clinical integrity and technical scalability essential for success within the US health system.
