Launching in Boston and New York

Verified health status,
shared only when you choose.

Rayl reads your test results from your own healthcare provider and turns them into a status you can share with a partner in seconds. No records change hands.

How it works

From your lab
to a status you can share.

Four steps. The longest one is signing into your health provider.

1

Connect your provider

Sign in to your health system through MyChart. You authorise the connection directly with them β€” Rayl never sees your password.

2

Your status is computed

Rayl reads your STI-related lab results, works out a status and how long it stays valid, and keeps only that. The results themselves are not stored.

3

Share with a handshake

Show a QR code that expires after three minutes. Both people confirm before anything is exchanged, and each sees a status β€” never the other's results.

4

Stay informed

If someone you handshaked with later reports a verified positive result, you're notified, along with places to get tested.

Your signal

Three states.
No diagnosis, ever.

Your orb says whether your testing is current β€” not what you were tested for, and never a condition. Nobody you share with sees more than this.

Clear

Recent testing, nothing flagged. Shows how long the status remains valid.

Test soon

Your results are approaching the end of their validity window. Time to retest.

Action needed

Either you haven't connected results yet, they've expired, or something needs following up with a clinician.

Prevention

"On PrEP and doxy."
Now you can check.

It's one of the most common things people say and one of the least verifiable. Rayl reads prescriptions from your provider records, so it isn't a claim β€” it's a record.

  • You choose whether to show itEach is off until you switch it on, and you can switch it off again at any time.
  • There's no red lightNot being on PrEP isn't a failing, and most people aren't. An indicator is on, or it's neutral β€” never a mark against you.
  • Off doesn't mean noAn indicator that's off may mean not prescribed, or simply not shared. That ambiguity is deliberate: it means choosing not to share costs you nothing.
  • A prescription isn't protectionRayl can confirm a prescription exists. It cannot confirm it's being taken, and PrEP protects against HIV only β€” not other infections.
PrEP
Prescribed Β· provider verified
Doxy-PEP
Not shown

Doxy-PEP is recommended for a specific group, so showing it can tell a partner more about you than you may intend. Rayl says so before you turn it on, and leaves it off by default.

Exposure notification

The conversation
you can't always have.

Sometimes you lose touch with someone. Sometimes it ends badly. Rayl reaches the people you can't, without either of you having to make the call.

  • Only from verified resultsAn alert can only be triggered by a result from your healthcare provider or one reviewed by a clinician. Nobody can start one by claiming something.
  • Your name is never sentRecipients are told someone they exchanged a handshake with reported a result. Rayl doesn't record who sent an alert.
  • Only people actually at riskAlerts reach people you saw within the relevant window for that infection β€” not everyone you've ever met.
  • Always paired with a next stepEvery alert arrives with testing options, including free public clinics. A warning without a route to act on it is just anxiety.
Possible exposure

Someone you exchanged a handshake with has reported a positive test result. Testing is recommended.

What Rayl keeps,
and what it doesn't.

Stated plainly, including the parts that are less convenient to say.

Your results aren't stored

Rayl reads your lab results to work out a status, then keeps only the status, the date and how long it's valid. No lab values, no diagnoses.

Provider keys stay on your phone

The credentials that let Rayl read your records live in your phone's secure hardware, not on Rayl's servers. Disconnect at any time and they're deleted.

Your partner sees a status, not records

A handshake exchanges a colour and a date. Never a result, never a condition, never a document.

Connections are kept 90 days

So an exposure alert can reach the right people, Rayl stores a record of your handshakes for 90 days, then deletes it automatically. It's also what restores your connections if you change phones.

Uploaded documents are reviewed by a person

If you upload a result rather than connecting a provider, a trained reviewer reads it before your status changes. They can see that document. It's deleted after review.

Prescription status is yours to share

If you connect a provider, Rayl can see whether you have a current PrEP or doxy-PEP prescription. Neither is shown to anyone unless you switch it on, and both are off by default.

Delete your account any time

From inside the app. It removes your account, status, connections and submitted results. Records of who accessed health data are kept, because a safety log a person can erase isn't a safety log.
