Balayu
Our mission

Preventive care for every child on earth.

At-home, app-guided well exams, reviewed by real pediatricians. Balayu is the continuous standard of care that has never existed at scale, built for the attentive families who have been doing this work alone.

Darius Monsef

I am the father of three children. The system Balayu is building is the system I wished existed for my own kids. Height marks on the doorframe. Milestones logged in a family chat. The pediatrician call when something felt off. Every attentive parent does the parts of preventive care they can do alone, and accepts that the rest does not exist.

I have spent the last decade building pediatric care at scale. I founded Brave Care, a pediatric urgent care and primary care brand that treated more than fifty thousand children across five clinics, raised forty million dollars, and proved what a parent-first pediatric experience could feel like inside the four walls of a clinic.

Balayu is the next attempt at the same problem at a different scale. The clinic model can never reach every family. The preventive standard of care belongs in the home, in the parent's hands, with a pediatrician on the other side of every reading. That is what we are building.

“The preventive standard of care belongs in every family's home. Not in a clinic schedule. Not behind a phone tree. Not for the children who happen to live close to the right hospital.”

For pediatricians.

Practice at the standard you trained for.

You trained to give children world-class preventive care. The system you work inside has never let you deliver it at the cadence, depth, or clinical standard you were trained for. This is the network where you finally get to.

Async review, on your time.

Structured clinical packets you read between clinic sessions. Six to eight per hour at your own cadence, not an appointment book somebody else manages.

Protocol you'll respect.

AAP Bright Futures, WHO growth standards, validated screens (ASQ-3, M-CHAT-R, SDSC). Pre-screened for quality before you see them.

Preventive scope, defined.

Wellness screening with clear referral triggers. You recommend in-person follow-up when warranted. No diagnostic ambiguity, no liability creep.

Meaningful per-review earnings.

Competitive rates paid monthly. Transparent earnings dashboard. Income independent of any single clinic or hospital.

Every child you review is reviewed.

Nothing submitted to Balayu goes unread. You see the full record, not a snapshot. Your note is the closing word on every check.

Give-One built in.

Every paying family funds a full year of pediatric care for a child who otherwise wouldn't receive one. You review both.

For builders. For every child, everywhere.

If you have been waiting to build consumer health software at a standard parents trust and pediatricians respect, this is that team. Consumer-grade mobile, clinical-grade physician tooling, and ML on the longitudinal pediatric dataset Balayu is the first to build.

Founding engineer.

React Native and Supabase. You ship the parent app and physician portal. Architecture decisions made early become the data layer the whole category gets measured against.

Founding designer.

Product and brand, premium consumer register. Parents keep the app open between visits because the interaction feels worth keeping open.

Clinical product lead.

Translates AAP Bright Futures, WHO standards, and validated screening protocols into software that pediatricians read in minutes and parents complete in one sitting.

ML engineer.

Personal baselines, anomaly detection, cross-signal pattern recognition. You build the layer that flags a child's deviation months before a population chart would.
