About

Empirical Health was founded by a doctor and an engineer who share a deep passion for improving healthcare. Raquel Rodriguez Martinez was previously a Clinical Assistant Professor at UC San Francisco and a physician at Kaiser. Brandon Ballinger co-founded Cardiogram (machine learning for heart health) and Sift (machine learning for fraud detection), and worked on Risk Engineering at Brex, the HealthCare.gov rescue team, and machine learning at Google.

Our goal is to create the primary care experience that all patients deserve - affordable, proactive, and trustworthy.
