Knit Health

Clinically Intelligent Generative AI. Knit Health exists to redefine the future of healthcare by creating foundational AI that thinks and acts like the best clinicians. We bridge clinical expertise, machine intelligence, and human centered design to elevate care, expand access, and improve lives.

What We're Building

Clinical Foundation Models. We’re here to build AI models that reason, explain, and collaborate like great doctors do. We are aiming to pass the clinical Turing test and provide a backbone of clinical reasoning for healthcare. Our technology combines frontier research from deep reinforcement learning, causal inference, alignment, and behavioral cloning. We’re building with access to unique multimodal data assets and are pushing the boundaries of model scale and performance.

How we work

Science in Service of Care. We blend frontier generative AI, healthcare expertise, behavioral science, and human-centered design to scale the best quality health decision making for everyone. This is a fundamentally new approach that understands clinical decision making, doesn't hallucinate, and uses real-world evidence for how best to engage providers and patients.

Applied Design with Health Providers. We believe our technology should show real-world value. That’s why we work closely with providers, payers, and innovators from start to finish — designing, testing, and deploying together. This hands-on research helps us learn what works both technically and for the people who use our technology.

Trust and Safety. We prioritize safe and equitable AI. That means rigorous governance, bias testing, and deployment monitoring from day one.
