We use AI to help adapt long-form, medically reviewed content into short-form videos. AI helps with the translation of format, not the creation of medical information. The underlying health content comes from trusted, medically reviewed sources, and AI is used to make that content more accessible, engaging, and native to the app experience.
We don't sell personal data. What we look at are patterns, not people. We use de-identified, aggregated signals to understand what patients are actually experiencing—so we can learn from it without ever tying it back to you.
Drops was created to fill a gap in the health space.
