01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
DailyDoctor was a San Francisco-based digital health startup (formerly known as AIRx Health) focused on older Americans aged 65 and up. It ran a telehealth clinic that used remote patient monitoring to manage chronic conditions such as hypertension, COPD, chronic heart failure and stroke risk, with physicians reviewing patients' daily check-ins and responding the same day. The company was founded by Vijay Rajasekhar, MD and Marlon Castillo, MBA, and was backed by Y Combinator (Winter 2019), ACME Capital, Floodgate, Village Global and Bling Capital.
