What we’re looking for:
- Passion and drive to simplify healthcare by building products that increase access to care and power every healthcare decision to be high-quality, cost-effective, and convenient
- Commitment to Ribbon Health company values, working on an exceptional team, and building an exceptional company

Yertis | 8 years ago | on: Launch HN: Life Bot (YC S17) – Voice app to help with daily activities
Right now voice is cool, but to me it's a little bit of a gimmicky feature that acts differently across devices from different ecosystems. It makes it that much harder to universally change my behavior toward voice across the different devices I use. I can see how Life Bot could change that.
Have you guys thought about the ecosystem dynamics for Life Bot? Do you think the big players will play nice if you start to own the voice relationship with the user, instead of AMZN/GOOG/MSFT/AAPL?

The more ways clients can hook the insights into their CRMs/workflow/user base, the more they can "operationalize it", as you eloquently put it, and make it a part of their workflows, the way the client you described does with their call center. I love it!
Yertis | 8 years ago | on: Launch HN: Thematic (YC S17) Customer Feedback Analysis via NLP
Do you guys see yourselves sticking to a model that spits out analysis, and let customers decide what insights to gain from the data? Or could there be a path where eventually it lets users take specific actions based on the data?
