FOUNDER AND Ceo of Thymos Health
Thymos Heath is the first proven AI-enabled telemedicine service that can address 150 autoimmune diseases at scale. 28 million Americans (80% women) suffer from autoimmunity, facing an average 7 year delay to diagnose, 76% misdiagnosed, only 1/3 responsive to pharmaceutical treatment, and more than 40% advancing to cancer and severe multiorgan damage. Dr. Bhandari has successfully treated more than 5,000 autoimmune patients and used these proprietary datasets to build 100s of proprietary algorithms that efficiently identify root causes, make precise diagnoses, and customize treatment based on a person’s physical, emotional, psychosocial, and epigenetic profile. Thymos Health is bridging technology, AI, and whole-person medicine to cut diagnosis time for 150 autoimmune disorders and other complex chronic diseases from years to weeks, drive 80% symptom relief in 3 months, and lower the total healthcare costs by 80% in one year. The service will be launched in Q1 of 2026, starting in California with plans to gradually roll-out nationwide and help address the autoimmunity epidemic at scale.
