What is Oatmeal Health:
Oatmeal Health is a tech-enabled clinical service focused on improving patient outcomes for underserved patient populations by providing AI-enabled early-detection cancer screenings and case management for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Health Plans.
Why did you create Oatmeal?
In 2013, Ty Vachon’s mother would have met the screening criteria to get a CT but she did not get scanned and in September of that year her stage 4 lung cancer was identified and she died shortly after. Jonathan Govette lost both his grandparents to lung cancer, and recently his mother died of another debilitating chronic disease.
The founders of Oatmeal Health decided it was time to change the status quo and make changes to how healthcare preventatively screens our loved ones so no one else has to die needlessly.
