Medicine is built on
conversation.
Every diagnosis, every treatment plan, every moment of healing starts with a physician and a patient talking. We built Myxis because that conversation deserves to be as good as it can possibly be.
Why We Built This
The problem isn't knowledge. It's connection.
Physicians spend years mastering clinical knowledge. But patient satisfaction — the thing that drives outcomes, adherence, and trust — depends on something different: how a physician communicates.
Research consistently shows that patients who feel heard are more likely to follow treatment plans, report better outcomes, and rate their care highly. Yet most physicians receive little to no structured feedback on their communication after residency.
Myxis was founded to close that gap. We use AI to do what a skilled coach would do — listen to real interactions, identify specific moments of strength and opportunity, and give physicians the kind of feedback that actually changes behavior.
Patients don't remember what you said. They remember how you made them feel. That's what we're helping physicians get right.

What We Stand For
Our mission and values.
We're a small, focused team with a clear purpose: make every physician-patient interaction better than the last.
Our Mission
To improve patient satisfaction by helping every physician communicate with more empathy, clarity, and confidence.
Patients first, always
Every feature we build is evaluated against one question: does this help patients feel more heard and cared for? If the answer is no, we don't build it.
Physicians as partners
We build with physicians, not at them. Feedback should feel like a trusted colleague, not a performance review. We design for growth, not judgment.
Evidence over intuition
Our coaching framework is grounded in validated research on patient satisfaction, communication science, and behavior change. We don't guess — we measure.
Honest about where we are
Myxis is in pilot. We're learning alongside our partners, iterating fast, and being transparent about what works and what we're still figuring out.
The Team
Founded by a physician who lived the problem.
Myxis was built from direct clinical experience — not from the outside looking in.
Matt Riester, MD
Founder
Emergency physician with 10 years of clinical experience, including several years as Medical Director of a high-volume, high-acuity emergency department. Matt built Myxis from the inside out — having lived the gap between clinical expertise and communication feedback firsthand.
