Vol. 01 — Issue on agentic healthcare

Healthcare AI -
built, scaled, and sold.
Now we help you do the same.

The model is the easy part. Shipping it into healthcare is where things break — legacy workflows, regulatory friction, and a system that punishes mistakes in patient data.

We help you turn prototypes into deployed clinical products. ↓

§ 01 — About

Bare Labs is a vertical AI incubation & consulting firm built to bridge the gap between the prototype that demos well — and the product that actually ships into the US healthcare system.

We don't advise from the sidelines. We've shipped agentic products into payer contracts, EHRs, and clinical workflows — and lived with the consequences.

The work is unglamorous. It's the integrations, the security review, the rep training, the slow-burn trust with a Chief Medical Officer. That's where we earn our keep.

§ 03 — Why us

Healthcare doesn't move fast and break things.
It moves carefully and fixes them.

We bring the technical depth and the industry scar tissue to turn a promising model into a clinical tool that ships, scales, and stays bought.

§ 04 — Founders

Founded by builders, not advisors.

We co-founded MyndYou in 2016, and transitioned out after the 2025 second acquisition. We built conversational AI for patient engagement before the market existed, and earned deep trust from healthcare stakeholders who don't grant it easily.

You build the vision.

We'll help you land it.
