About Caspia

Built by Pro-Patient Tech

Our mission is to make effective, evidence-based, non-pharmaceutical, lifestyle care accessible to everyone.

Why we exist

Caspia exists as a safer alternative to AI models for people who are interested in healthy behaviors and natural therapies. The science behind it is real, but unfortunately, most US medical schools do not teach it, leaving patients to seek the information out on their own. In doing so, they may end up coming across something harmful. We wanted to provide an alternative to that while still being helpful.

We also wanted to make expert holistic recommendations more accessible. We will always maintain a free version of this information, and we will keep iterating on the behavior-change tools that help people reach their health goals.

What Caspia does

You ask a question and Caspia answers with transparent provenance and actionable guidance.

The Ask Caspia screen on a phone: a question box with examples of what others are asking, like improving sleep without medication. — Ask Caspia at caspiahealth.com. Start with a question, no account required.

Our authors have written each action item in the database. The AI only rephrases them to match the context of your question. And your record builds as you go: signed in, Caspia remembers the health details you choose to share, so answers get more personal over time and the guidance gets even better.

We anticipate gaps in our content. When that happens, AI-supplemented material is produced using the latest frontier models and queued for expert review. We take the security of your information seriously. For that reason, we only use US-based AI models, from providers we can sign professional privacy agreements with.

How answers are labeled

Every recommendation tells you where it came from.

Expert reviewed means a clinician on our review team read, reviewed, and edited the recommendation. When a recommendation carries citations, the experts review those too, and that review becomes part of the citation’s provenance. We only use PubMed articles for now, though we may expand that if it makes sense.
AI supplement means our reviewed database did not fully cover your question, so AI filled the gap. AI-supplemented material will be reviewed by an expert.
Public sourced (coming) will mark recommendations proposed or validated by people in the Caspia community. We believe every person’s health experience is a data point. We can’t weight it the way we weight other types of evidence, but we want to give people the opportunity to help others with their own stories.

Of note, an expert-reviewed item may not list references yet, and an item with studies may still be awaiting our review, so you will sometimes see one without the other. The label always tells you who stands behind the recommendation; the citations show the underlying research.

Importantly, Caspia was designed to work with your clinician rather than replace them. Nothing Caspia tells you should ever supersede what your clinician has told you.

Acting on recommendations

We’ve added a set of tools to help people achieve their health goals through lifestyle changes. The icons next to each recommendation mean:

“I’m already doing this.” When you’re signed in, this is saved to your current health behaviors, and the recommendation won’t show up again.
“Add this to my health plan.” Items in your action plan keep the step and its resources together in one easy-to-review place.
“I’m not interested in this.” Caspia downgrades that recommendation and similar ones in future responses.

The signed-in Caspia workspace: a sidebar with health goals, an action plan, and recent chats, next to an answered question with recommendation cards labeled Expert reviewed and AI supplement. — The signed-in workspace: your goals, your plan, your chats, and labeled recommendations in one place.

What Caspia covers

Nine areas of everyday health: Diet & nutrition, physical & cognitive activity, sleep & cellular energy, emotional wellbeing, social connection & purpose, avoiding toxic substances & environments, supplements & bioactives, biometrics & screenings, and everyday acute-care questions.

What Caspia does not cover

Caspia does not diagnose and does not advise on medications or doses.
Caspia does not promise outcomes. We recommend evidence-grounded approaches; we don’t make quantified clinical claims.
Caspia is not for emergencies. If you may be in danger, call your local emergency number.
Caspia is for adults 18+ for now.

Working with your clinician

Caspia’s recommendations never supersede your clinician, and Caspia always encourages you to review your plan with them. Many people first meet Caspia through a poster in their clinician’s office. We are proud to be a partner so many clinicians trust for high-quality lifestyle recommendations.
