Oatmeal Health is built to close this gap.
From Our CEO

A company built from personal loss, pointed at a solvable problem

Oatmeal Health is a virtual cancer screening platform. We work with Community Health Centers, hospitals, and imaging networks to find patients who are eligible for lung cancer screening, reach them, and get them scheduled. Year after year, not just once.

But the company did not start with a product roadmap. It started with grief. Our CEO Jonathan Govette has lost more than ten family members to cancer. His story, and the story of his adoptive mother Janet, shaped everything about why we exist and who we prioritize serving.

"We are dedicated to ensuring that no family has to endure what mine did. Not because of where they live, what they earn, or what language they speak."
Jonathan Govette, Co-Founder and CEO

The name Oatmeal was chosen deliberately to stand out, to start conversations, and to signal that we are not a typical healthcare company. We are not. We are a team that believes the tools to save lives already exist, and that the missing piece is the infrastructure to reach the people who need them most.

In 2022, Jonathan co-founded Oatmeal Health in Mountain View, California alongside Yuri Ahuja MD PhD, a Harvard-trained physician and biostatistician who spent nearly a decade publishing research on machine learning and EHR risk prediction, and Ashish Basuray PhD, a Northwestern-trained chemist and serial entrepreneur who previously co-founded PreScouter and Firstlook AI. Three people with very different backgrounds, united by the same conviction: the infrastructure to save lives already exists, and someone just needs to build the last mile.

How We Work

We go where the patients are, before it is too late

Most lung cancers are found late not because screening does not work, but because eligible patients are never told they qualify, never reached, or never make it to an appointment. Oatmeal Health is built to close each of those gaps, in sequence, for every eligible patient at the health centers and systems we work with.

1
We find every eligible patient in your system
We connect to your EHR and parse through clinical history, smoking records, age, and risk factors to build a complete, accurate list of patients who qualify for lung cancer screening. No manual exports. No guessing. Updated continuously so no one falls through the cracks between measurement cycles.
2
We reach out in the patient's language, on their terms
Our AI agents contact patients by text, voice, and email, in English and Spanish, at the times and through the channels they actually respond to. The message is plain and human: you qualify for a free lung scan, here is why it matters, here is how to schedule. No jargon. No friction.
3
We get them scheduled and through the door
When a patient says yes, we book the appointment directly with your imaging partner or in-house radiology team. We send reminders, handle rescheduling, and track completion so your care coordination staff does not have to chase each case individually.
4
We close the loop and come back next year
Results route back to the referring provider. Completed screenings are logged against your quality measures. And when the next measurement period opens, we start again, because lung cancer screening is annual, and the work does not stop after one cycle.
Who We Work With

We go where the need is greatest

Oatmeal Health was built for the care settings that carry the heaviest load: the health centers serving patients without easy access to specialists, the hospitals anchoring rural and low-income communities, the imaging teams that want to do more preventive work but lack the patient pipeline to do it. These are our partners, and this is the work.

Community Health Centers
FQHCs
The frontline of care for underserved patients
FQHCs serve the patients most at risk and least likely to be screened. We plug into their existing workflows, identify every eligible patient in their panel, and handle outreach so their care teams can focus on seeing people, not running reports. We also help close the UDS and quality gaps that affect funding year after year.

Hospitals and Health Systems
Health Systems
Reaching patients before they become late-stage cases
Health systems that serve diverse, mixed-income communities often have large panels of unscreened, high-risk patients who simply were never told they qualified. We help those systems find those patients, reach them proactively, and bring them in for the scan that could change the outcome.

Imaging Networks and Radiology
Imaging
Connecting scan capacity to the patients who need it
Many imaging centers have the equipment and staff to screen far more patients than they currently see. We work with imaging networks to build a consistent, referred pipeline of eligible patients, so that LDCT capacity is actually used for the communities it was meant to serve.

Pharma, Medtech, and Biotech
Life Sciences
Bringing clinical innovation to the communities that need it
Life sciences companies developing therapies and diagnostics for lung cancer need diverse, underserved patient populations in their research and clinical programs. We help bridge that gap, connecting companies with the community health infrastructure that already serves these patients.

Work With Us

The Problem Is Solvable. Let's Solve It Together.

Whether you run a health system, an imaging center, or a community clinic, we are looking for partners who believe early detection should reach every eligible patient, not just the ones who already know to ask.

Imaging Centers and Health Systems
Add LungAI to your screening program

We refer eligible patients to your scanner, integrate LungAI into your existing CADe workflow, and enable your radiologists to bill CPT 0721T on every screened scan.

See how it works
Community Clinics and FQHCs
Find your eligible patients

LungIQ mines your EHR to surface patients who qualify for lung cancer screening under USPSTF criteria, even when their smoking history lives in a clinical note rather than a structured field.
