This isn't a Silicon Valley startup pitch. This is a father who watched his daughter suffer for nearly five years — and refused to accept "it's just anxiety" as the final answer.
“She would shake uncontrollably, her heart racing, dizzy, unable to stand. Doctor after doctor said the same thing: anxiety. But a father knows when something is wrong with his child.”
It started with episodes that came without warning. A fast heart rate that wouldn't slow down. Dizziness so severe she couldn't stand. Shaking that overtook her entire body. Anxiety-like attacks that felt like something much deeper than anxiety.
Doug's daughter saw doctor after doctor. Each one looked at their piece of the puzzle. The cardiologist saw the heart rate. The GI specialist saw the stomach issues. The primary care physician saw the anxiety. But nobody saw the whole picture.
For nearly five years, the answer was always the same: "It's probably just anxiety."
Nearly five years of appointments, tests, and referrals. Each specialist saw only their slice. No one connected the dots between symptoms that spanned multiple body systems.
One cardiologist suspected SVT — supraventricular tachycardia. She underwent heart surgery (ablation). They found nothing. Another doctor suggested bladder expansion surgery. They didn't go through with it. A homeopathic doctor ran tests for years but couldn't determine the cause.
The symptoms were real. Fast heart rate. Dizziness. Uncontrollable shaking. Gastrointestinal distress. Anxiety-like episodes. A positive ANA test. Elevated epinephrine. Each doctor had a fragment. Nobody had the full picture.
Doug and his brother Bruce, who has his own complex autoimmune conditions, decided to try something different. They built an AI medical companion. A system that could hold every lab result, every doctor note, every symptom entry — and reason across all of it simultaneously.
They uploaded everything. Years of lab work. Notes from every specialist. Every recorded symptom, trigger, and timeline.
Within the first analysis, the AI identified a pattern that no individual doctor had seen.
Elevated epinephrine with normal metanephrines — This specific combination matters. Elevated epinephrine alone could suggest pheochromocytoma, but normal metanephrines rule that out. The AI recognized this as a marker of mast cell degranulation.
Episodic attacks with multiple system involvement — The racing heart, shaking, dizziness, and GI symptoms weren't separate problems. They were flares of a single underlying condition, triggered by mast cell mediator release.
Positive ANA with systemic symptoms — The positive antinuclear antibody test, combined with the full symptom profile, pointed toward immune dysregulation rather than anxiety.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) emerged as the primary hypothesis, with secondary hypotheses for dysautonomia and SIBO. A pattern that explains the heart rate, the GI distress, the episodic nature, and years of being told it was "just anxiety."
“No doctor has ever connected those things before.”
After nearly five years, they finally had direction. Not a definitive diagnosis — that requires a physician. But a clear, evidence-based hypothesis that connected fragments no single specialist had been able to piece together. For the first time, they knew where to look.
Doug and Bruce realized that their family's experience wasn't unique. It was an epidemic.
Millions of patients are trapped in the same cycle Doug's daughter experienced. Fragmented medical records scattered across specialists. Fifteen-minute appointments that can't capture a complex history. Symptoms dismissed because they don't fit a neat category.
The problem isn't bad doctors. Most physicians are dedicated, skilled professionals doing their best within a broken system. The problem is that the system itself makes it nearly impossible to see the full picture of a complex patient.
Livaramed exists to be the persistent memory that the healthcare system lacks — a companion that holds your complete story, never forgets a test result, never runs out of time, and never dismisses what you're feeling.
Your entire health history in one place, not scattered across 7 patient portals.
AI that reasons across every lab, symptom, and note simultaneously.
An AI that starts from the position that your symptoms are real.
Livaramed wasn't conceived in a boardroom. It was built at a kitchen table by a family trying to save one of their own.
A family-founded company dedicated to using artificial intelligence to solve real problems in healthcare. Built on the belief that every patient deserves to be heard, remembered, and understood.
Doug's daughter starts experiencing episodes: fast heart rate, dizziness, shaking, anxiety-like attacks. The search for answers begins — and the cycle of misdiagnosis starts.
Multiple specialists. Heart surgery (ablation) that finds nothing. Proposed bladder expansion surgery. Years of homeopathic testing without clear results. Every path leads to the same answer: "It's anxiety."
Doug and Bruce build an AI medical companion. They upload every lab result, every doctor note, every symptom log from nearly five years. For the first time, a single intelligence holds the complete picture.
The AI connects elevated epinephrine + normal metanephrines + episodic attacks + GI symptoms + positive ANA into a coherent hypothesis: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), with secondary hypotheses for dysautonomia and SIBO. After nearly five years, they have direction.
Doug and Bruce realize this isn't just their problem. Millions of patients are stuck in the same cycle. They begin transforming their family's tool into Livaramed — a platform that any patient can use to find answers.
Livaramed is live with persistent medical memory, AI-powered diagnostic hypothesis generation, treatment planning, symptom tracking, and four communication styles. Built by patients, for patients. Every feature tested against the reality of complex chronic illness.
Every day, patients sit in waiting rooms with thick folders of lab results and years of notes — and leave with the same lack of answers they came in with. Not because their doctors don't care, but because the system makes it nearly impossible to see the whole picture in a 15-minute appointment.
"It's in your head." "Have you tried meditation?" "Your labs look normal." If you've heard these words while knowing something is genuinely wrong, you are not alone. 60% of patients with eventually diagnosable conditions are initially dismissed as psychological.
Your cardiologist's notes live in one system. Your GI specialist's in another. Your PCP uses a third. A critical lab value from 2022 sits in a portal nobody remembers the password to. The connections between them exist — but only if someone can see them all at once.
The average rare disease patient sees 7.3 specialists over 4.7 years before receiving a correct diagnosis. That's not a statistic. That's thousands of appointments, each one carrying hope and ending in frustration.
An AI that holds your complete history. That reasons across every data point simultaneously. That starts from the position that your symptoms are real. That generates evidence-based hypotheses you can bring to your physician. That never runs out of time.
We built Livaramed because we needed it. We're sharing it because you might need it too. Start with a conversation — your medical history deserves to be heard.
