Trellis Health, a digital health platform designed to empower women with personalized, proactive care, today emerged from stealth. The company is launching with $1.8 million in pre-seed funding from Palette Ventures, Swizzle Ventures, NEXTBLUE, Suncoast Ventures, and Sundial Foundation, along with high-profile healthcare individuals like Care.com founder Sheila Marcelo, the co-founders of Flo Health, Yuri Gurski and Andrei Kouzel, Mike Prytkov – the founder and CEO of Simple, Naseem Sayani, angels and executives from ARM, Microsoft AI and others.
Trellis Health was created to address the major gaps in women’s health. Despite advances in medical technology and research, maternal mortality rates in the U.S. remain the highest of any high-income nation, postpartum care remains nearly nonexistent, and managing health through life’s pivotal stages remains an overwhelming and fragmented experience. With over 100 million people lacking a primary care provider, women are often left to navigate these challenges alone, turning to Google searches, urgent care visits, and fragmented records to manage not only their health but also their families’ health.
Estelle Giraud and co-founder and CTO Ryan Nabat are creating Trellis Health to address these challenges by providing an AI-driven digital health platform that acts as a modern-day family doctor, integrating medical data, providing intelligent insights, and ensuring continuous support through pregnancy and beyond. And by integrating years of an individual’s medical history, fragmented health data is transformed into actionable, easy-to-understand timelines. Connected to over 50,000 healthcare providers nationwide, Trellis’s platform provides a new depth of understanding, creating an avenue for women and families to establish generational health.
Estelle Giraud (CEO and Co-founder of Trellis Health) was motivated by her personal journey through pregnancy, combined with experience in genomics and digital health. Having spent a decade working with some of the largest consumer health data companies, she saw firsthand the sheer amount of health data being generated and how disconnected it is alongside outdated privacy and security practices. Ultimately, she realized that if we want to rearchitect the healthcare experience and outcomes, the full picture would be necessary. Through Trellis, she is redefining that relationship. Putting women at the center of their own health blueprint to ensure they have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to navigate their health at every stage of life.
Designed as more than just a pregnancy app, Trellis Health is creating an operating system for women’s lifetime health, bridging critical gaps in care with data-driven insights and expert support. Trellis will provide personalized and trusted guidance through special provider partnerships for women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond, eliminating the need for late-night Google searches.
Focusing on continuous care, Trellis is providing a new standard in digital health to empower women with the tools they need to put family health on autopilot while building their unique, foundational, and preemptive health model – to shift the statistics on women’s health, adding decades of health to their lives.
