DOVER, DE / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2026 / Healz (healz.ai) is a platform for getting a cancer second opinion online. It brings strong AI tools and experienced oncologists into one chat. People can get answers without waiting as long as they would with usual steps. The service is meant to help reduce health mistakes. It focuses on where those errors matter most, in cancer care.

When a Single Diagnosis Isn't Enough

People with cancer have to make big choices fast. They also get mixed signals from different sources. A doctor might have only a short window to read test results, imaging, and long clinical notes. When patients still feel unsure, they often jump from one office to the next. They also look on apps and message boards. More appointments follow, and the cost adds up.

That is why many patients and families try to find answers. They ask, how often is cancer misdiagnosed? Healz was made for that exact kind of doubt.

A Second Opinion That Changed a Diagnosis

One early user, Atlanta psychiatrist Dr. Munjal Shroff, turned to Healz when his wife's symptoms went unexplained for months. Her doctors suspected an autoimmune condition. Healz recommended an opinion from MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she was diagnosed with a rare T-cell lymphoma. "I think without it, the diagnosis and treatment would've been delayed," Shroff said. He later invested in the company.

Healz is also backed by Alexey Dosovitskiy, cofounder of Recursive Superintelligence and a former Google researcher who authored a breakthrough 2020 paper on computer vision. "Now is the time to work on this: the underlying technology is largely there, and it needs to be made into products that help people," Dosovitskiy said.

Igor Demishev and Alex Plat, the company's founders, say they understand the fear. Plat went through nine endoscopies in nine months. He kept getting told it was one thing, then he learned his pain was not from the abdomen.

Before Healz, the founders worked on other efforts. They ran a delivery business worth $120M. They also helped improve how self-driving cars were made safer at scale.

How AI and Oncologists Work Together

People begin by sharing their records. This can include pathology notes, imaging, lab results, and past treatments. Healz takes PDF files, DICOM links, and long text summaries. It also supports reports written in different languages.

After that, Healz creates a "digital fingerprint" for the cancer. It pulls out tumor type and stage. It also checks markers like HER2, EGFR, BRAF, PD-L1, and MSI. It reviews the genomics and how treatment went. The goal is to reflect the patient's cancer, not a generic version.

Then the system runs its AI checks. It was trained using 40M plus studies. It compares the case with over 1M rare documented cases and with ongoing clinical trial data. The intent is to spot parts that other tools may overlook, and that rushed clinic workflows may miss. If the situation is serious, board-certified oncologists from leading hospitals in the US, Germany, Austria, the UK and Israel can review the case, and several doctors can join when needed.

Healz does not start over every time. It keeps a live case file. It tracks each scan, the dose, and side effects across treatment. It also carries this forward into survivorship.

97% of Healz users are cancer patients. Its root-cause mode asks up to 20 follow-up questions before drawing any conclusion, and its memory is built for large case files: one user has uploaded 1,500 documents.

Clearer Questions About Treatment Options

Healz does not replace a patient's own care team. It helps people grasp what is going on and come ready with better questions.

When patients are looking at lung cancer treatment options, Healz reviews the pathology report and biomarker results. It can include markers like EGFR. Then patients can talk with their oncologist about choices that match their tumor.

For people weighing prostate cancer treatment options, Healz follows PSA changes over time. It also estimates PSA doubling time. It flags times when imaging, like a multiparametric MRI, could be worth discussing. It can also point to periods when a clinical trial may be a good topic to bring up.

For metastatic breast cancer treatment, Healz keeps scan results, lab values, receptor details, and past treatments in one place. This way, decisions are made with the full history in view.

Private, Accessible and Built for Caregivers

Healz includes a tool that removes private data. People can hide names and other personal details before posting a question. In that way, the message does not need to show who they are. The same tool can be used by caregivers too, including relatives who are handling a diagnosis for someone they love.

Healz is offered in the United States. It is also available in 47 European countries and in Mexico. Medical specialists can respond in more than 50 languages. They also use local medical guidelines.

The company says Healz can save patients from paying for treatment that won't work, sometimes up to $100,000, and that imaging reviews and a cancer second opinion online cost less than repeat appointments at local clinics.

The PLUS plan starts at $69 per month. If you pay each year, the cost is $499. That comes to $1.37 per day. Subscribers can cancel whenever they want.

A Responsible Approach

Healz is an educational service, not a medical practice. It does not replace a doctor.

Every person using it is asked to talk about each choice with their own physician. It also admits that AI can be wrong at times. The goal is to help you show up ready for visits, ask better questions, and feel more sure about what comes next.
