ABOUT RHOE
The consultation ends. The care shouldn't.
Patients leave clinic with good plans and very little support at home. Rhoe gives every patient their clinician's plan as a voice they can talk to, in their own language, with the clinician still in charge.
WHY WE STARTED
It began in a physio clinic.
Our founder, Ademola, is an MSK physiotherapist. Again and again he saw patients leave with a clear plan, then struggle alone at home: unsure about an exercise, worried about a symptom, or unable to read a leaflet written in English.
AI assistants already help people shop, travel and work. Healthcare needs different rules: follow the clinician's plan, stay inside its limits, and call the care team in when something's wrong. That's what we're building.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Four rules we build by.
01
Clinicians stay in charge
Rhoe follows the plan. It never writes its own.
02
Voice first
Talking is easier than typing, especially when you're in pain.
03
Every language
Good care shouldn't depend on reading English.
04
Proven, not promised
We test with clinicians and patients before we scale.

Clinical care, AI engineering and health evidence.
