K Health's main service is its primary care app. The app includes a chatbot called "K," which asks a series of questions to identify a diagnosis. It uses data from Maccabi Healthcare Services, a health maintenance organization (HMO) in Israel, and Mayo Clinic. The app itself doesn't provide medical advice but connects users with doctors. Its AI offers a list of potential diagnoses, which the doctors can review while chatting with the user online. == Partnerships ==

In 2019, K Health partnered with Elevance Health (formerly Anthem) for the Elevance mobile app, Sydney Health. Anthem also invested in K Health. In 2021, K Health, Elevance Health, and Blackstone Growth began a joint venture called Hydrogen Health to offer K Health through private employers and insurers. In 2020, K Health announced that it began working with Mayo Clinic Platform. In 2024, K Health entered into a know-how agreement with Mayo Clinic to develop a preventive cardiac solution. Cedars-Sinai launched its virtual care app in 2023, Cedars-Sinai Connect, which was built using K Health's AI. == References ==
