Details
Founded in 2022, Function has focused on comprehensive health testing and analytics. The partnership with Perplexity Health introduces an AI connector designed to aggregate diverse medical datasets, including lab results and clinical summaries. This system aims to transform fragmented medical information into structured, personalized insights. The core capability is the ability to unify varied data—from diagnostic reports to activity tracking—into a cohesive system. This allows the AI platform to generate context-aware responses tailored to individual health profiles. Jonathan Swerdlin, CEO of Function, described this as creating a “new intelligence layer.” Both companies emphasize compliance with established healthcare standards like HIPAA and FHIR, alongside encrypted data handling and opt-in access. Crucially, users retain control over their data, ensuring the information is not used for training AI models. The industry views the ability to unify information from labs, hospitals, and wearables as critical for moving toward proactive healthcare, supporting early intervention and preventive care.
