K Health came out of Israel in 2016 with a unique angle on digital health. The company licensed anonymized clinical data from Maccabi Healthcare Services — one of Israel’s largest HMOs with decades of patient records — and used it to train AI models that can suggest likely diagnoses based on symptoms and patient demographics.
The app starts with a free AI-powered assessment. Users answer questions about their symptoms, and K Health’s algorithm compares their case against similar patients in the database to show what conditions people like them were diagnosed with. If needed, users can then connect with a licensed physician through the app for a low flat fee or through their insurance.
K Health has expanded into mental health, pediatrics, and urgent care. The company partnered with Cedars-Sinai and has integrated with several major health systems. It’s raised over $400 million in funding and claims to keep visit costs well below traditional telehealth competitors. The data-driven approach — showing patients “people like you were diagnosed with X” — gives users context that most symptom checkers don’t provide.
