PicnicHealth CEO here and happy to answer questions. We're starting with the people who need the product most, so our customers tend to be pretty sick and have a ton of records going back and forth and sometimes multiple doctors appointments per week. We've brought the price down a lot from the companies that do record collection/aggregation for insurance and pharma (about $1000/patient just to start) but stay tuned for an even lower priced option for those with less intensive needs.

Since you're happy to answer questions:

* What about data export?

* Why no 2FA? (or sign in via federated identity?)

* What is my guarantee that your price doesn't dynamically adjust, potentially hitting me hardest when I can least afford it?

Is there a point for which you don't collect info? For instance is it possible to see records from my birth?
We get records as far back as we can. Unfortunately, records that are more than 10 or 15 years old are often destroyed. Offices are only legally required to keep records for a certain period of time (e.g., for 7 years in California), and so after a patient leaves a practice, the practice will typically clear out that patient's records at some point.

Long story short: we get records any records that still exist.
