Women's health advocacy

Dismissed.
Not done.

You know your body better than anyone. You were right. Now prove it. Viora gets you ready for the appointment and gives you what you need to keep going after, so you're never advocating for yourself alone.

You shouldn't have to explain it alone. Share a plain-spoken guide to what you're going through: what perimenopause actually is, and how the people closest to you can show up for it.

Your health information stays yours

Your symptoms aren't our data.

You're already sharing enough with too many systems. Viora was built to stay out of that.

How the AI works Your symptom data is sent to an AI model to generate your document. It isn't stored by the AI company or used for training. It's used to build your document and nothing else.
⚖️
That's a real tradeoff Because your history lives on your device, it doesn't follow you to another one. We think that's the right side to err on.

The problem

The appointment is in 20 minutes.
You still don't know what to say.

The medical system asks you to be articulate at exactly the moment you feel worst. You know something has shifted: sleep, mood, cognition, your sense of yourself. But you edit the conversation before it even starts. You soften it. You second-guess it. You leave without a plan.

Viora gives you the document you needed to walk in with. Specific to what you told it. In language you can hand to your doctor or read aloud in the room.

Why I built this

I've spent a lot of my life being dismissed by doctors. "That's normal." "You're fine." "It's just stress." Even "You can't be in this much pain." All when something was genuinely wrong.

So I started doing the work myself: tracking my symptoms, researching insurance codes, writing my own letters of medical necessity, and bringing them into the room. Something shifted. My doctors told me how helpful it was. I got taken seriously.

Then mid-life hit, and I watched my friends go through the same dismissals I had already been experiencing. That's when I knew this couldn't just be something I did for myself.

I've spent 20+ years building software products. I'm building Viora on my own, funded by me, not crowdsourced, not a replacement for your doctor. Just a way to turn what you're feeling into documented evidence and a clear conversation.

If you've ever left an appointment feeling unheard, Viora is for you.

Dismissed. Not done.

A document that helps you have the conversation you need.

Four sections, every time. Even the one for if you still feel dismissed.

Your Symptom Summary

You're managing severe hot flashes, major sleep disruption, and cognitive fog significant enough to affect your work. This isn't a minor inconvenience. It's affecting your daily functioning in a measurable way.

What to Say to Your Doctor

"I've been tracking my symptoms and they are getting worse, not better. My sleep is severely disrupted, I'm experiencing daily hot flashes, and I'm having cognitive difficulties that are affecting my work. I need us to take this seriously today and make a plan, not monitor it further."

Diagnostics to Ask About

  • Can we run a hormone panel (FSH, LH, and estradiol)?
  • Can we check my thyroid function (TSH and Free T4)?
  • Can we do a complete metabolic panel?

If You Feel Dismissed

  • "I'd like this documented in my chart: that I raised these concerns today and what the plan is."
  • "I've been managing this for months. I'm not here to keep monitoring. I'm here to investigate."

The work doesn't end in the exam room.

One good appointment isn't always enough. Viora keeps working, building the record and writing the paperwork the system keeps asking you for.

Evidence Log

Every symptom, every severity, every appointment, recorded over time. The pattern you can feel but couldn't prove sits in one place, timestamped and ready to hand to a doctor or an insurer.

  • Mar 3 Hot flashes severe · slept 4 hrs
  • Apr 18 Brain fog affecting work · cycle irregular
  • Jun 2 Symptoms worsening · no plan offered

Medical Necessity Letter

When insurance denies coverage, or demands you fail a cheaper option first, Viora drafts the letter that makes the clinical case, in the language a prior authorization or an appeal actually needs.

To the Utilization Review Department: This letter documents the medical necessity of hormone replacement therapy for the patient, whose moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms have not responded to conservative management…

Three steps.
One document.

01

Tell it what's been happening

Select from a curated symptom list, rate severity, and add anything the form doesn't cover. Uploads welcome: journal pages, lab results, prescription lists.

02

Get a document built for this appointment

Not a template. Every sentence reflects what you entered. A talk track in first person. Diagnostics phrased as questions. Language to use if the conversation stalls.

03

Walk in. Leave with a plan.

Copy it to your clipboard or save it as a PDF. Hand it to your doctor. Read it aloud. It does the work at the moment you're most likely to fold.

This isn't a chatbot.

You could describe your symptoms to a general AI tool and get something back. Viora does something different, starting with what happens to what you type.

Structured, not a blank box

You're guided through what actually matters for your appointment and your insurance case, not left to figure out what to ask on your own.

Your data isn't training data

General AI tools may use what you type to improve their models unless you find and change the right setting, and most people never do. Viora doesn't. What you enter builds your documents and nothing else.

Built for one thing

Not a general assistant that happens to answer health questions. Every question in the intake exists because it maps to something a doctor or an insurer needs to see.

It doesn't forget

A chat thread disappears. Viora keeps the record of every symptom and every appointment, so six months from now you have the timeline an insurer actually asks for.

"I used the Appointment Prep document before my OBGYN appointment and it was so helpful for collecting my thoughts and starting the conversation. My doctor is amazing, but this helped him target his responses to my individual needs — and helped me ask the right questions to figure out which hormones and combinations would be best for me."
