Boston, MA United States & Dubai, UAE— Feb 12, 2026

Massachusetts residents continue to face gaps in timely primary care: a 2023 CHIA survey found 41% reported difficulty accessing care, and roughly 40% of emergency-department visits are for conditions manageable in primary care settings. Many non-emergent ED visits occur because patients cannot secure appointments quickly. These access and affordability problems are increasing demand for alternative primary care entry points and reliable telehealth triage.

What the Startup Delivers?

My Couch Doctor provides an integrated, value-based telehealth solution that acts as a gatekeeper to primary healthcare (PHC) and specialist referrals, augmented by precision-medicine consultations. Core features include a HIPAA-compliant tele-consultation platform, blockchain-backed EMR, AI-driven personalized recommendations, transparent upfront pricing, subscription bundles, house calls by clinicians, and bundled payments across services. The platform is designed to reduce unnecessary ED utilization and improve timely access to care.

Why Now?

Policy shifts and changing patient behaviors have accelerated demand for flexible primary care channels. With payers and providers re-evaluating remote-care models, a subscription-enabled telehealth solution that offers clinician house calls and integrated EMR continuity addresses an urgent market need for accessibility and affordability.

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

Through EquityPilot, My Couch Doctor will focus on execution milestones including: strengthening regulatory readiness, refining subscription pricing tiers, expanding provider onboarding for house-call coverage, and improving AI personalization workflows tied to the blockchain EMR. The program will prioritize measurable traction goals and investor-facing materials to support next-stage fundraising.

Customer Validation

Early validation includes a minimum-viable product with a no-sign-up teleconsultation flow and NGO pilot testing. The team reports conducting more than 50 consultations per day on the current platform and validated appetite for crypto-enabled subscription payments via a Google Ads test that achieved 8–12% CTR.

Funding Readiness Note

My Couch Doctor is actively fundraising and has presented a capital plan: raising a 10% equity share for $125,000, with a minimum investment amount of $25,000. Use of proceeds lists app development, marketing, staffing, legislation and capex, with a 10% contingency.
