Meet Rani

Your brilliant friend who happens to know medicine.

For your doctor, this is Tuesday. They have done this a hundred times. It is routine, it is bread and butter, and they will move on to the next patient in ten minutes. For you, it might be one of the scariest days of your life. That mismatch is why Rani exists.

What your doctor thought

What else exists

What to ask next

Rani currently focuses on coronary artery disease, cardiac catheterization, stents, and bypass surgery decisions. This is a proof of concept. She is not yet trained on valve disease, arrhythmia, or other cardiac conditions.

Tell me what happened.
We will figure this out together.

What did they tell you to do next?

Did they explain why they recommended this? Even if it was vague or you only caught part of it — write what you remember.

Do you have any other health conditions? For example — diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney problems, a prior heart attack, obesity, smoking history, or anything else your doctors have told you that you have.

Was this appointment at a large university or teaching hospital, a smaller community hospital, or do you not know?
