At the TiE Women’s Program – Silicon Valley, we celebrate women founders transforming healthcare with science, empathy, and intelligent technology. Payal Bhandari, Founder & CEO of Thymos Health, is leading a breakthrough in how autoimmune disorders are diagnosed and treated — at scale.
The Problem
Autoimmune disorders affect millions — yet they are notoriously underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and difficult to treat.
The path to clarity can take years, requiring multiple specialists, fragmented data, and trial-and-error care plans.
Patient’s experience:
- Long diagnostic delays
- High symptom burden
- Sky-high healthcare costs
- A care experience that feels confusing and overwhelming
Clinicians are overextended, and traditional care models simply don’t scale.
Thymos Health’s Solution
Thymos Health delivers a proven AI-enabled virtual care service that diagnoses and treats 150 autoimmune disorders — faster and more effectively than traditional pathways.
The Thymos platform:
- Automates up to 90% of clinician data analysis
- Uses AI-driven health coaching and care enablement
- Supports patients with personalized data tracking
- Offers group and clinician visits for continuous guidance
This means:
