Consumer AI health companion for individuals, usage-priced, not a clinician documentation tool.
Pricing from from USD 1/mo.
Bottom line
Iris, at iris.health, is a consumer health companion that runs inside WhatsApp or Telegram. A user logs symptoms, asks questions and shares lab results, and Iris keeps the history in context. It costs $1 a month plus usage, typically $5 to $10, with a $5 starting credit. It is not clinician software and it makes no regulatory claim. The site does not name the company behind it.
What is Iris?
The page headline is "Stop googling your symptoms. Start understanding them", and the pitch is that Iris "remembers your full health history, connects the dots between sleep, food, stress and symptoms" (iris.health). It works by text or voice. It sends "Autopilot" results through WhatsApp notifications and prepares a summary for a doctor's visit. One testimonial says "his doctor gets a real summary".
The page positions Iris against general chatbots and names ChatGPT and Claude as the comparison. Iris says it uses "the best AI models, routed to the right task, cross-checked every time". It names no models. The testimonials on the page carry first names only and no dates, so they function as marketing. Several unrelated companies share the Iris name.
What does it cost?
The pricing page states a platform fee of $1 per month plus usage, with no subscription and no tiers. It gives three typical monthly totals including that fee: $2 to $3 for a light month, $5 to $10 for a typical month and $20 to $30 for an intense one. The balance is prepaid and does not expire, auto top-ups come in $10, $25 and $50 amounts and a monthly spending limit can be set. New users get $5 free without a card. Per-action prices appear only in the usage history, and a way to get unused credit back is not listed.
Privacy and regulation
Iris mentions no HIPAA compliance, BAA or SOC 2 report. Messages travel through WhatsApp or Telegram, and the vendor does not address whether that is compatible with health-privacy rules. Where data are stored and how long they are kept is not stated on the vendor's pages. Iris claims no regulatory clearance and describes no EHR integration.
Who is it for?
Iris targets a person who wants a running symptom log and a summary to bring to appointments, and the usage pricing keeps that cheap. A physician cannot document, order or bill through it.
The verdict
Iris suits a patient who wants a low-cost symptom diary with a summary for the next visit. Clinicians, and anyone unwilling to send lab results through a consumer messenger with no stated retention rules, should skip it.
