About ASTRID
ASTRID, designed by AstroDoc’s team of physicians and technologists, operates on multi-LLM (large language model) architecture. The platform emulates structured, evidence-based clinical reasoning, referencing various healthcare sources for accuracy. ASTRID’s primary role is to provide health information and knowledge. Future iterations will introduce personal health data features and tools to link users with clinical care providers, potentially filling the “biggest gap” in healthcare AI.
ASTRID prioritizes privacy, meeting the requirements of HIPAA, GDPR, and other global regulatory frameworks. It stores no user data, requires no account creation, and retains no conversation history after a session ends. Future versions will introduce optional account features while upholding privacy and regulatory compliance principles.
Founder Background
Dr. Samir Qamar, a seasoned family physician, and healthcare executive Samantha Rivera founded AstroDoc. Before developing ASTRID, the team established a text-and-video telemedicine practice across the U.S. to gain insights into patients’ needs and to shape ASTRID’s clinical design. ASTRID was then developed in-house over twelve months without institutional funding.
Market Context
AI-assisted health queries exceed 40 million globally per day, with most conducted on general-purpose AI platforms. ASTRID is the first healthcare-focused AI super agent designed for global consumer use. With over 5 billion internet users and 5.4 billion smartphone users worldwide, ASTRID has the potential to diminish healthcare knowledge inequality.
Availability
ASTRID is available for use, free of charge, on myastrid.ai. Users can access it without registration, subscription, or download.
