Revia
Building an Intelligent Recovery Companion from the Ground Up
Revia is a B2C AI health product designed to close the support gap in post-operative recovery — a $490B+ global opportunity sitting at the intersection of digital health, conversational AI, and patient experience.
It is a conversational AI companion for people recovering from major surgeries or illnesses. It helps patients understand what's normal at every stage of recovery, log their daily health data, and get medically grounded answers — all through a warm, memory-enabled chat interface that remembers their entire journey.

I Was Bedridden For Months, and I Could Not Understand my Recovery
26 December 2024
I was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, a rare, flesh-eating infection with a 30% mortality rate.
What followed were months of being bedridden, scared, and completely in the dark about my own recovery.
The biggest challenge was knowing if I was actually healing or not.
Is this swelling normal for week three? Should my wound look like this? Am I healing or getting worse? I had questions constantly during my recovery in the hospital and even after I was discharged. It wasn't the flu; nobody knew what to expect at what stage, and that made my journey to recovery hard.
Initial Research/Problem Validation
The Problem is Bigger Than One Patient
20 M
people go through long-term post-op recovery every year

The Market Has Data. It Does Not Have Answers
Nothing connects tracking + expected recovery knowledge + emotional support + persistent memory in one experience. That's the gap Revia fills.

Where We Are At Right Now
We are currently talking to patients and doctors to validate our assumptions and find a product-market fit before building further.
Health Data Is Personal. We're Treating It That Way.
Recovery data is among the most sensitive information a person generates. We're building Revia with compliance and trust as foundations, not afterthoughts.
-
HIPAA: End-to-end encryption, data minimisation, patient consent at every collection point — designed for US healthcare compliance from day one
-
India DPDP Act: Localised data handling, explicit purpose limitation, and user-controlled data deletion built into the architecture
-
Clinical Trust Medical information is cited, not generated. Revia surfaces verified recovery guidance — it doesn't invent it.
What Revia Could Change?
-
20M+
post-op patients supported annually at scale.
-
30-40%
estimated reduction in caregiver workload through improved patient self-management.
-
50%
projected improvement in recovery adherence

We're Currently Building. Come Back Soon.
-
Revia is live in design. The conversational layer is in active development. Wearable integration is being explored. A doctor-facing dashboard is on the roadmap.
-
This isn't a concept. It's a product in progress, built by someone who needed it and couldn't find it.
-
We have a team of backend engineer and a design engineer with medtech experience, and we are currently looking for a full-stack front-end engineer to support us.
