Architect Health is a digital health aggregator and navigator that makes digital health more accessible to health insurance companies and their members.

Our Vision

We believe data can unlock ways to improve health outcomes and optimize cost savings for health plans. That telehealth and digital health solutions should be the first point of contact for non-acute care given that it is convenient, affordable, and effective.

Since the pandemic, dozens of these telehealth solutions have been adopted by health plans but engagement and utilization is low, resulting in no ROI for health plans.

Our goal is to maximize engagement for efficacious solutions that health plans are already spending money on, so that they can finally see an ROI, educate members on the virtual care options available to them, and optimize health plan virtual care strategies with performance data along the way.

Our History

Co-founders Sohum and Sidd have known each other for over a decade, starting from the depths of high school summer camp. After careers at the intersection of health insurance and digital health, they realized just how crowded the landscape had become. So much innovation and potential for good, but no easy way for people to cut through the noise.

On a personal note, Sidd was our first use case. As a patient with multiple chronic conditions and a medical history littered with surgeries, Sidd struggled to find convenient, affordable ways to manage his chronic pain and behavioral health challenges. Even after working his whole career in healthcare and digital health, he couldn’t easily find a virtual care solution that was right for him.

For all the other patients like Sidd, who didn’t have the privilege of working in healthcare, we know finding virtual care would be an impossible task.

Co-founder & COO

Siddharth (Sidd) Hariharan is the Co-Founder & COO of Architect Health. Sidd first discovered the health plan challenges around leveraging digital health and point solution fatigue when working with Humana, where wasted spend and limited ROI were far too common. As Chief of Staff at an early-stage health-tech startup, he lived the problem from the other side, including challenges getting in front of members, employers and health plans, and differentiating an effective solution from a very crowded field. As our in-house, professional patient, Sidd is managing multiple chronic conditions. Even as a healthcare insider, he couldn’t easily differentiate between digital health solutions that could be a good fit for him. 

Sidd graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, along with a Master of Arts in Bioethics & Medical Humanities. In his free time, Sidd finds any excuse to be active, whether it's as being a Certified Personal Trainer, playing soccer, or hiking the newest trail he found.
