Gleb Tsipursky: How a Personal AI Health Agent Helped Avert Disaster

Gleb Tsipursky, CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts, LLC, Advisory Board Member at RampLane, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“AI may have helped save my life recently.

And I do not say that lightly.

It started with what felt like a persistent calf cramp.

For about five days, my left calf was tender, a little swollen, and getting worse.

I assumed it was a muscle issue, and when I went to my chiropractor, he treated it that way too.

But after it kept getting worse over the next two days, I turned to the AI health agent I had built for myself.

Nearly a year ago, I had uploaded my medical records, lab work, medications, visit notes, and genetic data into it.

I did that because I teach companies how to use AI effectively and build practical AI agents, so I had applied the same approach to my own health.

That decision turned out to matter a lot.

When I described my symptoms, the AI health agent raised deep vein thrombosis, DVT, as a real possibility and pointed me to the key diagnostic step.

I needed an ultrasound.

That was the critical insight.

I had not considered DVT before the AI brought it up.

I did not know enough about the symptoms, and everything initially looked like a muscle problem.

But DVT can become life-threatening if part of a clot breaks off and travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

Later, I learned that my wife’s grandfather died from a pulmonary embolism, and so did the mother of one of my wife’s close friends.

So this risk became very real, very fast.

I messaged my primary care office, described the calf pain, swelling, and DVT concern, and was advised to either schedule an appointment or go to urgent care.

That sounded reasonable at first.

But the AI agent had already explained the problem with that path.

Urgent care would not have had the ultrasound needed to diagnose DVT.

My primary care office would not have had it either.

I likely would have lost time scheduling an appointment, only to be sent to the ER later anyway.

So I went to the ER.

The ultrasound found four blood clots in my left leg.

Not one. Four.

The doctors considered admitting me and inserted two IV ports in preparation.

After consulting specialists, they fortunately sent me home on blood thinners.

I am stable now, and I caught it in time.

But this could have ended very differently if I had delayed or followed the wrong diagnostic path.

If one of those clots had broken off and caused a pulmonary embolism, I might not be writing this.

My takeaway is simple.

AI gave me more actionable guidance on a life-or-death issue than the initial advice I received from the traditional medical workflow.

I strongly recommend that everyone set up some version of a personal AI tool for themselves, especially for health.

Having your key information in one place can make a major difference when something unexpected happens.

I am including a video in the comments showing a training I do for companies on the AI agent approach I teach.

I hope it helps you set up agents for your personal or professional life.”
