# inou health — Context for James
|
|
|
|
*Updated: 2026-02-20. Always lowercase "inou" — avoids L/I confusion.*
|
|
|
|
## What it is
|
|
Self-built medical advocacy platform. Born from Sophia's accident (May 2, 2022). Johan built it to fight the medical system — read MRIs, challenge diagnoses, build evidence for specialists. It's not a wellness app. It's infrastructure for people the system has failed.
|
|
|
|
## Current capabilities
|
|
- **DICOM viewer + analysis** — brain MRIs, CT scans, radiology reports
|
|
- **Genetic analysis** — SNPedia integration, variant interpretation
|
|
- **Lab data import** — MyChart integration, manual upload
|
|
- **Mobile health logging** — vitals, medications, observations (API)
|
|
- **Claude MCP integration** — Claude can query inou data directly
|
|
- **6-language support** — including Dutch
|
|
- **Sophia-specific tooling** — the original use case drives design decisions
|
|
|
|
## Business model
|
|
- **Monitor** (free) — basic access
|
|
- **Optimize** ($12/mo) — fuller feature set
|
|
- **Research** ($35/mo) — deep analysis tools
|
|
- **Free until July 1, 2026** — early access period, no active promotion yet
|
|
|
|
## Status: building phase
|
|
Not ready to promote. Johan's directive: focus on product, not word-of-mouth.
|
|
Do NOT suggest marketing, tweeting, press, or going public with suggestions.
|
|
|
|
## Where the code lives
|
|
- `/home/johan/dev/inou` — Johan uploads portions via SMB share (`inou-dev`)
|
|
- "Nibble" approach — James works on what Johan shares
|
|
|
|
## Known gaps / areas to explore
|
|
- Citation/reasoning transparency (Superpower does this well — show Claude's reasoning chain tied to sources)
|
|
- Better onboarding for non-technical users (doctors, patients)
|
|
- Wearable data integration (Superpower roadmap item — worth considering)
|
|
- FHIR/HL7 compatibility for importing records from other systems
|
|
- Sophia case: MRI analysis pipeline needs to stay current with new scans
|
|
- Mobile app (inou-mobile in Flutter) — thin shell + WebView, still early
|
|
|
|
## Key people
|
|
- **Dr. Neel Madan** (Chief Neuroradiology, Tufts) — reviewing Sophia's MRI → next step: neurosurgery
|
|
- **Johan** — the only user who matters right now. Every feature should serve his actual workflow.
|
|
|
|
## Design principles
|
|
- Evidence over opinion — everything citable
|
|
- Local-first for sensitive data (medical docs never hit external APIs)
|
|
- Built for advocacy, not wellness optimization
|
|
- Johan's night-shift constraint: usable at 2am, one-handed, while monitoring Sophia
