I’m building Sandhiva: a clinical language safety layer for multilingual care.
It detects culturally loaded patient phrases in transcripts and turns them into likely meaning, questions, red flags, dictionary hits, and clean documentation.
Not translation. Clinical meaning.
I started my @ycombinator app today and submitted it with 2 minutes left on the clock.
the magic of it? I was able to connect with two YC founders (shoutout @Totzenberger and @MaruPelkar) who were able to look over my application in a crunch.
This is the magic of technology.
@Totzenberger@ycombinator Building Sandhiva, a clinical language safety layer for multilingual healthcare. It catches meaning loss in patient conversations before it becomes diagnostic error. Would love your thoughts if you’re still reviewing apps.
opened X for “two minutes”
saw a fellowship app closing in 30 min
sprinted to my laptop
submitted the entire application
returned to X
this app is ruining and building my future at the same time
Spotify, a $100B company, can’t even translate basic Bollywood songs correctly. (Pichkari means water gun btw)
If a $100B company can’t translate song lyrics properly, how do we expect doctors to translate cultural idioms properly?
This is why I’m building @JoinSandhiva
