Sethealth — Medical toolkit for developers
Sethealth solves the hard problems of handling medical data, from parsing all kind of medical files, analyze them, anonymize, visualize, reconstruct in 3D, AR, traceability, encryption... We do the heavy lifting, so you can focus in building the best product.

@georges_gomes Thanks a lot Georges!! it's been indeed an good progress in weird times haha
Really cool product! A while ago I prototyped something similar to your AR portion using CT scan data. Mapbox for health data sounds way cooler that what I was doing haha. Good luck!
@averycarter thanks Avery!! yeah indeed, i tried to make a good analogy that most of the developers would understand, since the AR is just one of the possibilities, but there are many others! would love to see what you built though! is it online?
@manucorporat Yea I need to make this a bit more accessible. Been meaning to open source the code but I haven't gotten around to it.

Hey PH!
My name is Manu and today I want to show you a project I have been working on since I broke my leg last year.
Back in October 2019, I met with some friends around Kreuzberg, a vibrant area of Berlin. That night I broke my ankle in the most stupid way you can imagine. Everything I was doing stopped that day, everything I was working on.
After my first ankle surgery, I felt something was not ok, so I tried to get my health data and ask for a second opinion. After dealing with a very stressful process, I managed to get a CD with my data, I struggled to find a good patient focus app to make sense of the data myself, so I decided to open my laptop and see what I could do.
*Set.health* is my attempt to improve patient access to information by applying my background in API design, security, and computer graphics.
You can think of it, like a *Mapbox for health data*. The same way Uber or Deliveroo does not build their own maps, Sethealth applies to medical products. Hospitals, implant companies, patients apps, small clinics, students, or any healthcare company building products.
With Sethealth I want to solve the trickiest aspects of healthcare software while simplifying the legal and data security issues for other companies, so they can build faster and better products.
Ship health software in a different way, without those long sales processes and costly licenses, get as many people as possible building products that matter, keeping developers happy, and creating a new feedback loop to move much faster.
Oh! btw, there is free access to the technology today, but because of legal compliance, we would love to have personal onboarding!
📱 You can also try the augmented reality demo with your own iPhone ! 📱 It is not a generic 3D model but generated on-demand based on a real computed tomography!
Manu.
@manucorporat This idea is amazing MANU! I've been thinking for a while 1) How can I GET my medical data. 2) How can I process and understand it. I've tested out the prototype and set.health makes everything so easy! I'm curious, what would it be the next steps for the product?
@jgferreiro Thanks Jorge! We found reaching hospitals and doctors directly in step one was much harder than trying to work closely with software companies that have already built this relationships with the health industry. So today, we put all the efforts on this. However the plan is to keep improving the tech and building the relationships, in order to ship our product directly to health institutions, hopwfuly deprecating the old CD format as way to share this data!
@cory_m thank you!
I will try to do my best haha a computed tomography is basically:
- A x-ray machine takes multiple 1D radiographies, it's basically a rotating x-ray machine that takes N 1D radiographies of the same slice of your body.
- Then a "computed" algorithm takes all this set of 1D radiographies, an reconstructs a 2D image, which correspond to a cut slice of your body (one of this algorithms is called back-propagation)
- This process is repeated mutiple times creating multiple slices of your body, which ends up in a 3D texture.
- This 3D image/volume/texture can then be used to reconstruct in 3D using different algoritms, plan surgeries, detect lesions, and even measure chemical properties of your body (with something called dual-energy tomography, which takes advantage of quantum effects!)
It's really incredible technology, actually this is a great idea for a blog post!
