After a year of development, Hale's HIPAA-compliant AI health intelligence platform is seeing its approach validated as major publications raise concerns about consumer AI tools handling health data without legal protections. Hale was designed from the ground up for chronic illness management, with features like medication management through photo recognition, health tracking, and caregiver support.

Why it matters

The recent media coverage highlighted the importance of HIPAA compliance in healthcare technology, as consumer AI tools that handle sensitive health data without legal protections can provide inconsistent and potentially harmful information. Hale's focus on HIPAA compliance from the start sets it apart as a reliable platform for managing chronic conditions.

The details

Hale was developed by Jason Camp, a heart attack survivor who manages 21 medications for himself, his wife with MS, and his autistic son. Camp spent a year building Hale with HIPAA compliance as the foundation, unlike general-purpose AI chatbots adapted for health questions. Hale provides personalized answers to users' health questions, manages medications, tracks health data, and supports caregivers.

  • Hale launched on December 21, 2025.
  • Camp started building Hale in early 2025 after his second open heart surgery.

What they’re saying

“I spent a year building Hale with HIPAA compliance built in from day one because that's how you build healthcare tools.”

— Jason Camp, Founder

“Every feature exists because we needed it. Photographing prescription bottles instead of typing helps when you're managing 21 medications. Medication interaction checking? Because I need to know if I can take over-the-counter medications with my blood thinner.”

— Jason Camp, Founder

What’s next

The recent media coverage has validated Hale's approach, and the platform is now available with a 14-day free trial. Individual plans start at $15/month, and Family plans start at $50/month.

The takeaway

Hale's focus on HIPAA compliance from the start sets it apart as a reliable platform for managing chronic conditions, in contrast to consumer AI tools that handle sensitive health data without legal protections. The platform's features, developed by someone living with chronic illness, address the real-world needs of the 133 million Americans with chronic conditions.
