Welcome to MAIA: the private medical AI that you control

What is MAIA? MAIA is a private medical AI paired with a health record that you control. Your records and your AI live in one place, hosted by a group you choose and movable whenever you choose. Requests for your information are decided by rules you write; your AI can answer for you, and anything your rules don’t cover comes to you as a question.

Who runs it? MAIA is free, open-source software developed by Adrian Gropper, MD and collaborators as a public, volunteer-driven initiative. Everything is open for inspection:

Why this forum exists. This forum is the single public place where patients, clinicians, and experts discuss MAIA as peers — readable by anyone without an account, searchable, and governed by one rule: no personal health information, ever (see the Guidelines). Substack essays will mirror here, one topic per post, so discussion stops fragmenting across comment threads.

Introduce yourself below — pseudonyms welcome. (One reminder: your forum, MAIA, and Substack logins are three separate accounts.)
