Vera Health

What Vera Health does

Vera Health (legal entity Veracity-Health Inc.) is a San Francisco-based, venture-backed private company founded in 2024 that builds an AI-powered clinical decision-support search engine for licensed healthcare professionals. The platform uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) over more than 60 million peer-reviewed papers, guidelines, and real-world care pathways, and applies a proprietary evidence-grading process to deliver concise, audit-able answers with in-line citations. Product modules include DDxTx Plan (differential diagnosis and treatment planning), Clinical Calcs (integrated medical calculators), Quick Curbside, a Voice Agent for hands-free point-of-care access, and Deep Research Mode for systematic literature reviews; distribution is via web, iOS, and Android. Vera is free for licensed clinicians and trainees, with no paid tiers disclosed, and is currently pre-revenue.

The company's go-to-market is product-led and community-led: it was shaped by emergency physicians as first users, and growth is driven through Scientific Advisory Board and International Clinical Council relationships with physicians from Harvard, Columbia, Mayo Clinic, and Brigham and Women's, alongside event presence (e.g., ACEP24) and a flagship March 2026 strategic partnership with the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). The company maintains HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, and NIST AI RMF compliance, reports 300,000+ users across 170+ countries, and is backed by Y Combinator, Gradient Ventures, and Pioneer Fund. Operating geographies include hubs in San Francisco and New York City, with global clinician reach.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 3 March 2026Partnership integrates ACEP's clinical policies directly into Vera's AI-powered search engine, enhancing emergency physicians' access to evidence-based guidance. Emergency physicians see ACEP guidelines as part of their answers with full ACEP branding and source attribution. Partnership is two-directional: Vera provides visibility into what clinical questions physicians ask most often and where gaps in existing guidance may exist, helping inform future guideline development and education priorities. Dr. Scott Silvers, Chair of ACEP Clinical Policies Committee and former Chair of Emergency Medicine at Mayo Clinic, worked closely with both organizations.
