Acolyte Health, founded in 2022 by Brad Bigelow and Bryce Helgerson, operates a health technology platform aimed at enhancing patient engagement and improving health outcomes. The company's inception was deeply influenced by the personal health journey of founder and CEO Brad Bigelow, who, after surviving a heart attack in 2020, experienced firsthand the complexities and communication gaps patients face. This experience motivated him to create a solution to address the common issue of patients struggling to recall and understand their treatment plans after a medical visit.
The core of Acolyte Health's offering is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to create digital twins of healthcare professionals. From a single video recording of a caregiver, the system can generate a vast amount of personalized, interactive video content. This content is designed to deliver crucial health information, such as pre- and post-visit education, medication adherence reminders, and preparation for appointments, directly to a patient's device. The platform is capable of producing videos in over 120 languages, significantly improving accessibility for diverse patient populations and helping to eliminate language barriers. Its interactive features include one-click access to appointment scheduling, educational materials, and patient portals, as well as the ability to embed surveys to gather patient insights.
The business serves clients such as hospitals, health systems, ambulatory practices, and health plans. By integrating with existing EHR, CRM, and patient portal systems, Acolyte Health delivers information at various stages of the patient journey. The company's business model focuses on providing a transformative approach to healthcare consumer activation through these personalized video experiences. Headquartered in West Linn, Oregon, the seed-stage company has secured $1.57 million in funding from investors including MOHARA, Portland Seed Fund, Techstars, and American Heart Association Ventures to support its product development. In 2024, Acolyte Health was selected for the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Health Equity Initiative, receiving computing credits and technical expertise to advance its platform.
