SimCare

Vrishank Saini and Tiko Bdoyan watched healthcare students struggle to get enough practice with real patients—because there's a finite number of sick people available, and regulations make hands-on training a nightmare. So they built SimCare, AI avatars that simulate realistic patient conversations so med students and healthcare professionals can practice clinical skills anywhere, anytime.

The problem is massive. Medical schools spend hundreds of thousands on standardized patients—actors hired to pretend to be sick—simulation labs, and manual training hours that barely scale. SimCare replaces all that with AI. Their avatars can simulate thousands of different patient scenarios, from difficult conversations to complex diagnoses, without the cost or scheduling headaches. They're YC-backed and already working with therapy programs and medical schools to help them meet accreditation requirements without the traditional bottlenecks. This is the future of medical education—where every student gets unlimited practice and schools scale without compromising quality.
