Ari by Citizen Health

Hey Nasha 💛 Time for Amara’s nightly check-in! How was her day today? Any seizures, GI, sleep, mood, or med notes to log? Even “all clear” is great to capture.

0:32

“Tonight was rough — she had a seizure around eight, full body shaking this time, lasted about 45 seconds. Constipation has been bad too, hasn’t gone in three days.”

What types of specialists do kids similar to mine see?

Similar kids see epileptologists, movement disorder specialists, and GI specialists. I noticed John doesn’t see a GI specialist. Want me to recommend a few in your area who specialize in his condition?

Built by parents who’ve been there

“Before Ari, I was Amara’s medical secretary, case manager, advocate, and chief of staff. All at once. I want Ari to do that work, so I get to be her mom.”
Nasha Fitter, co-founder · FOXG1 mom
Nasha Fitter’s daughter started having seizures at seven months. A genetic diagnosis followed, but with no map or instructions. Nasha tracked every seizure, med change, and specialist visit, and still never felt sure she was doing what was best. She co-founded Citizen Health so families like hers have support, stay in control, and benefit from what other families have already learned.When a question needs a human, a real person answers, including genetic counselors on our team.
Thousands of rare disease families helped build Ari. Your family can start today.

Help that arrives before you ask

Ari checks your child’s logs and records and messages when a pattern shows up.
Every heads-up comes with the next step ready, so Ari keeps your child’s care moving.

Seizures went up after the dose change. Want me to add that to Thursday’s questions for Dr. Renner?

The medication increase from the last visit is due this week. Should I message the care team?

Good news! Your family may qualify for a respite grant. I can start the application.

Your child’s records stay yours

You decide who sees your child’s records. When you choose to share, those records help every family, including yours.

When a clinical trial fits your child, researchers can invite your family.

Ari keeps getting better

Every shared record improves Ari’s answers, and better answers bring more families.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ari really free?

Yes, Ari is free to use today. Citizen Health plans paid features later and will keep a free tier. Citizen Health also works with research partners, and your child’s records join a study only if you say yes.

Who sees my child’s records?

You decide. Research partners get a summary only with your consent, and the summary omits your child’s name, birthday, and contact details. Each partner agrees by contract never to try to identify your child. Deven McGraw, who helped write the federal rules on patient record access, leads our regulatory work.

Will Ari know my child’s condition?

Ari works from your child’s own records, so Ari starts from your child’s history, however rare the diagnosis. Ari also draws on thousands of families across 350+ conditions.

How do I get started?

Sign up with your phone number and text Ari one thing. With your consent, Citizen Health gathers your child’s records from every provider. Your first task takes about five minutes.

What if I fall behind on logging?

Ari still works from your child’s medical records, so the full picture stays intact through a gap. When you’re ready, one text catches Ari up.

Will doctors and insurers take Ari’s work seriously?

Yes. Every answer points to the exact page in your child’s records. Appeals use the insurer’s own criteria and the evidence already in those records.

Can Ari give medical advice?

No. Ari gets you ready for the doctor with trends and questions to ask. Ari doesn’t diagnose or give medical advice.

What does Ari do without asking me?

Ari reviews your logs and records on its own, then flags what’s changing and drafts what comes next. Ari waits for your OK before it sends anything or signs into a portal.

Why would I share records for research?

Shared records help studies bring treatments to kids like yours sooner. Sharing is never mandatory and always your choice.
