FOR INVESTORS
early stage. right moment. clear path.
Current status
Anchor is currently in prototype development. The platform is undergoing validation of workflow, legal, and technical assumptions prior to pilot deployment.
Anchor is not used for clinical care today, does not have paying customers or active health system pilots, and does not store real patient health information in production.

the missing layer in advance care planning
Advance care planning has historically been fragmented into separate tools for forms, storage, retrieval, care delivery, and compliance. Each piece addresses a real need. Together, they still leave a gap.
The missing piece has been completion — consistently converting patient wishes into completed, accessible advance directives that clinicians can act on. anchor exists to close the documentation gap between what patients want and what appears in the clinical record.
Today's market generally falls into four categories:
Documentation tools
Forms, templates, and static content that patients must navigate largely on their own.
Document repositories
Storage and retrieval for directives that already exist — valuable once the document is complete.
Clinical service providers
Human-led advance care planning delivered as a care program, not as scalable infrastructure.
Health system workflows
Charting, billing, and compliance processes designed to record and retrieve what is already documented.
Each category solves part of the problem. None directly addresses the challenge of consistently converting patient wishes into completed, accessible advance directives.
Anchor is the completion layer.
anchor guides patients through advance care planning, supports documentation, tracks completion, and is being designed to prepare records for integration into existing healthcare workflows.
anchor does not replace existing systems. anchor increases the value of those systems by helping ensure the documentation exists in the first place.
The completion stack
Most solutions operate at the bottom of the stack — storage, retrieval, and care delivery. anchor operates at the point where the process most often breaks: between patient wishes and a completed directive ready for clinical use.
Business model
Enterprise licensing — annual contract covering a health system's patient population. Predictable cost structure, designed for system-wide deployment, with onboarding and outcome reporting.
Per-patient licensing — scales with adoption. No upfront commitment. Intended for department-level pilots as the platform matures.
Additional operating and financial information — including unit economics and revenue assumptions — can be provided during diligence discussions with qualified investors.

Why now
Completion has not moved
Advance directive completion rates remain stubbornly low despite decades of awareness campaigns. The gap is not awareness — it is conversion from intention to a finished document that meets state-specific legal requirements.
Value-based care rewards documentation
Payers and health systems increasingly tie quality scores and contract performance to documented patient preferences and goal-concordant care. What cannot be documented cannot be measured — or reimbursed.
AI changes the economics of guidance
Modern AI can finally provide scalable, personalized patient education and guidance at a cost structure that was previously impossible. The technology now supports completion at population scale, not one session at a time.
Health systems need capacity without headcount
Health systems are actively searching for ways to reduce documentation gaps, improve care planning metrics, and expand access without expanding headcount. Infrastructure that closes the completion gap addresses an operational constraint, not a nice-to-have.
The opportunity is not to build another repository for advance directives. The opportunity is to become the infrastructure that helps those directives get completed.
NDA and confidentiality
Core technical features of the Anchor platform are patent pending. The full technical architecture is disclosed under NDA only. If you are interested in seeing the prototype, reviewing the patent specification, or discussing investment, please reach out at anchoradvancecare@gmail.com.
