K Health

K Health is a US-based digital health platform that combines an AI symptom checker with telehealth access to real physicians. The idea is to make primary care more accessible: start with the free AI assessment, then upgrade to a telehealth visit if you need a diagnosis or prescription.

## What K Health Does Well

**AI symptom checker** analyzes a user's reported symptoms against a large database of anonymized medical records to show how similar patients were diagnosed and treated. Unlike typical symptom checkers, K Health shows the user data from real patient populations — "80% of people with your symptoms and profile were diagnosed with X" — which provides a more grounded perspective.

**Affordable telehealth** is built directly into the app. Users can connect to a licensed physician via text or video for urgent care, primary care, mental health, and chronic condition management. Visits are affordable compared to traditional telehealth: $35 for an urgent care visit, or a $49/month subscription for unlimited primary care.

**Prescription support** allows physicians on the K Health platform to send prescriptions directly to a user's pharmacy for common conditions: UTIs, sinus infections, anxiety, depression, and more. This makes K Health a viable replacement for in-person primary care visits for straightforward conditions.

**Mental health program** includes ongoing support for anxiety, depression, and ADHD with dedicated practitioners, medication management, and between-visit messaging.

## Who K Health Is For

K Health targets US adults who want affordable, on-demand primary care — particularly those without convenient access to a primary care physician, those with high-deductible insurance plans, and those who prefer digital-first healthcare. The symptom checker is free; telehealth requires payment or subscription.

## Limitations

K Health operates only in the US. It does not replace emergency care or the depth of an ongoing primary care relationship. Certain conditions requiring physical examination or diagnostic testing require in-person care.
