The follow-up work after the visit
After a clinic session, draft the letters, reminders, and chart work the visit created, and leave the decision with the clinician.

Difficulty is an editorial estimate of technical and operational complexity, not a score.
Startup idea analysis by Startup Ideas. Last reviewed Oct 6, 2026. How we read a launch.
The startup idea
Heidi’s post introduces Heidi II as a clinical agent. It describes a home screen that opens on the day, agents that work across the systems a clinic already uses, computer use with healthcare guardrails, memory for how a clinician likes the work done, and research the product can surface with citations. The story in the post is a doctor reviewing drafts of referrals and reminders after the notes are already done. The post is explicit that the clinician reviews and completes the work.
The opportunity for another founder is not a second medical chatbot and not a model. It is one kind of follow-up a clinic already does by hand after the visit: the referral, the callback, the form. The note is a crowded market. The hour after the note is still a pile of portals. A narrow product drafts that pile and writes down what the computer touched. A person signs it.
Do not claim a clinical outcome. The launch does not measure one in the text we have. Do not put a computer on a patient record until a clinician has used the draft on real work and said what it must never touch.
The problem
The note can be done and the visit is still unfinished, because the referrals and the callbacks are another hour.
Who would pay for this?
- Primary
- A clinician who finishes the note and then starts the paperwork.
- Secondary
- The person in the clinic who currently chases the referrals.
- Early adopter
- One clinic, one type of visit, one kind of letter.
How could it make money?
Possible models. Nothing here is a claim about what Heidi charges.
- A subscription per clinic, once the draft is part of the day.
- The launch does not publish a price. Do not invent one.
What would the MVP look like?
- One clinic.
- One kind of follow-up.
- A draft.
- A person approves it.
- A log of what the computer opened.
How to validate the idea
- Sit through one real clinic day and list every task that starts after the note.
- Draft five of those by hand. Ask the clinician what they would not let a computer send.
- That refusal list is the product. If they will not review a draft, they will not use an agent.
How to differentiate
- One specialty and one document, not the whole clinic.
- The clinician signs. The computer does not.
- Memory is a preference they can read and delete.
- Do not train a model. Use one, and keep the record of what it touched.
Why this could be interesting now
Computer-use agents can open the portals a clinic already has. The company is the follow-up a named clinician still has to approve.
Original product launch
This launch is inspiration and evidence that someone shipped, not a partnership. The idea above is our reading of the broader opportunity. Heidi did not write it.

Product that inspired this idea
A clinical agent that drafts follow-ups, uses the computer, and recalls how a clinician likes the work done. The post says a person still reviews and completes the work.
