Born from six years of R&D and clinical validation at UC San Diego.

The journey

How CIPRA.ai started.

CIPRA.ai is the accumulation of six years of R&D and clinical trials at UC San Diego — supported by Kaiser Permanente, UC San Diego Population Health, Altman Clinical Translational Research Institute, Samsung, Teradata and other industry leaders — which focused on using AI to precisely diagnose and treat patients with chronic conditions.

The impetus for this work came from founder Sujit Dey, after a series of self-experiments determined that sleep was the greatest contributor to his hypertension. These findings motivated Sujit to develop a data-driven, intelligent solution to untangle the complex relationships between lifestyle and chronic conditions, joined by former PhD students and co-founders Jared Leitner and Po-Han Chiang. Assembling a distinguished team of physicians and experts, the company launched in July 2022 and has expanded its AI-based platform to cover chronic cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases, with supervision provided by CIPRA.ai’s own expert clinical team as well as its partner health systems.

At the core of CIPRA.ai is our understanding that healthcare is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We understand how disorienting managing chronic conditions can be on your own — a series of trial and error, or varying opinions from different people.

Our mission: to empower care organizations to guide every patient with precision and continuity, so chronic disease becomes manageable rather than a life sentence, and no one faces it alone.
