1. Project Zushi @tarstarr — STARRING — @guwhoa @wikichen
2. Electronic Health Records (EHR) are the holy grail.
3. EHRs focus on patients. What about everyone else?
4. Most people don’t know anything about their health until they get sick. @wikichen never knew he had anemia until he tested himself at 21.
5. We want to make self-testing more accessible and meaningful to people. SOLUTION?
6. Self-testing is significantly cheaper. $20 $60 AVERAGE COST OF A LIPID PANEL in a hospital self-testing More complicated tests can cost 10x as much in hospitals.
7. Self-testing is proactive. CHD can exist with minimal or no symptoms and can progress rapidly. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) 1,000,000 HEART ATTACKS PER YEAR 2 of 5 people DIE FROM HEART ATTACKS
8. Self-testing is empowering. Use your test results to: PERSONALIZE AND EVALUATE YOUR DIET BENCHMARK FOR YOUR MONITORING DEVICE LIVE BETTER AND HEALTHIER
9. We are the missing link to the quantified self movement.
10. How self-testing works now
11. 1) Search for online testing sites. FIND ALL THE TESTING SITES!
12. 2) Find the tests you want (assuming you know what to look for beforehand). HERP DERP, WHY DO THESE SITES OFFER DIFFERENT TESTS WITH DIFFERENT PRICES FOR DIFFERENT TESTS? WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LIPID PANEL WITH HDL:LDL RATIO AND ONE WITHOUT?
13. 3) Order the tests and wait for them to send you the requisition form. ...
14. 4) Print the requisition form and go to your local lab during open hours. Y U NO OPEN DURING MY LUNCH BREAK? Y U NO BRING YOUR REQUISITION FORM?
15. 5) Wait for your results, which you have to download as a pdf report of raw lab data. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS.
16. 6) Freak out over the flags in your results.
17. 7) Google what the flags mean. I DON’T WANT TO DIE.
18. 8) Learn that it’s not serious. There there, calm down and have a cookie.
19. 9) Move on with life, and the lab report sits in a folder on your computer and collects virtual dust.
20. Self-testing right now is a pain in the ass and has the potential to be much more. VERDICT
21. We’re building an online health platform for everyone. We provide a full-stack testing service that helps people understand their body and health better. We’re reimagining healthcare for everyone.
22. push collect analyze How Zushi works We recommend tests to our users based on their profiles. An in-home test kit or our phlebotomist is sent to the user for collection of the test sample. Results are posted to the user’s account. We algorithmically break down the results for the user.
23. [more product slides in progress]
24. Why would this be something people want?
25. People want to live healthy lives, but they don’t have an easy way to do so.
26. People don’t understand their health until it’s too late. What I don’t know is that I have naturally high blood sugar and eating sugary fruits is actually hurting my body.
27. People know that health starts with being informed, but it’s hard even with the Internet. I’m too busy to care about my health.
28. DESIRE KNOWLEDGE GUIDANCE We want to enable people to take charge of their own health.
29. Why should we pursue this idea?
30. I’m fucking passionate about this idea. 9ml of my own blood, motherfuckers. Suck on my blood next!
31. We can dogfood the shit out of this product. 好吃! our product yummy! 美味しそう!
32. There is an equal distribution of labor. web development product design computer stuff supply chain logistics external relations user testing operations more business buzzwords Basically, this is much more than a software product.
33. There is a built-in business model, which means we can be ramen-profitable quickly. 好吃! vandhi! 美味しそう! This is very unlikely to be the kind of ramen we can afford to eat.
34. It aligns with our company mantra. We believe in making health information more meaningful. Bitches love meaningful company mantras.
