Promptd makes the search for healthcare more accessible. Our mission is to raise the quality of online healthcare provider information and make it easy for anyone to find the best possible care for their needs.

The problem with current healthcare marketplaces

Searching for a healthcare provider isn’t always simple. There’s a lot to consider—location, specialties, availability—but also things that are harder to define, like trust and fit. Today’s marketplaces make people work around rigid filters, while information remains fragmented, jargon-heavy, and rarely localized or translated.

  • Discovery is inefficient: people want to ask in their own words and get meaningful options back.
  • Information quality is inconsistent: profiles are incomplete and not designed for clarity or translation.
  • Clinics are underrepresented: most tools are built for solo providers, not teams with roles and shared assets.
  • Transparency is missing: providers can’t see what affects visibility or how to improve.

Our solution

We combine a better search experience with a structured, trustworthy profile layer—human by design, powerful under the hood.

  1. Natural‑language search: describe needs in plain language and get relevant matches.

  2. Structured profiles that express what matters: qualifications, specialties, languages, and communities served—clear and comparable.

  3. Team accounts for clinics: onboard the whole team, manage roles and permissions, and maintain shared ownership safely.

  4. Transparent ranking feedback: understand what drives visibility and get actionable steps to improve quality.
