Previsor AI · Seed opportunity
Your doctor sees you just one hour* a year. Pepper covers the other 8,759.
That gap — between what a person’s life reveals and what their physician can act on — has never been addressed at scale. The signals that precede a crisis are continuous, present, and invisible to the clinical system.
*Based on published primary care utilisation research. Range across studies: 60–90 minutes per year.
Pepper is a physician-prescribed device that lives in someone's home and turns their everyday life into clinical insights, so their doctor can catch illness before it becomes a crisis. To the person it feels like a companion. To the doctor it's a clinical instrument. And it pays for itself through existing CPT codes. Personal health data never leaves the device — clinical data moves through a secure, encrypted pathway to the care team.
And it generates a longitudinal health record the clinical system has never had before.
The problem
We are the most health-obsessed and the most health-confused generation in history. Yet the gap between people and their physicians has never been wider.
15 minutes
The average primary care visit. Most patients have less than four a year.
The data has always been there. The pathway from life to clinic is broken.
Invisible
The space between office visits is completely invisible and, until now, unmonetized.
The model
Physician-prescribed. Reimbursed. Aligned for everyone in the room.
Pepper is physician-prescribed and fits existing Medicare RTM reimbursement pathways (CPT 98975–98981). A Pepper program manager and clinical liaison support each practice, working alongside a designated staff member and physician.

The category
Pepper occupies a space the healthcare system structurally cannot fill.
Pepper does not compete with the healthcare system. That is not a feature gap — it is a category.
