How Carte Sets the n-of-1 Standard

A clearer path. A deliberately different process.
To see what others miss.

Why do patients -- even those who have seen leading specialists or concierge physicians -- keep telling us:

Medical care is built for the average patient with a straightforward issue

It's a system designed to churn out widgets of low-variation, low-effort answers:

- Appointments are rushed.
- Specialists see one slice of the picture.
- Guidelines are written for populations, not for your unique case.

If your question isn't straightforward, you need a depth of thought that today's efficiency-focused, insurance-based medical system simply isn't designed to give.

Your complex questions need a different approach

If surface-level advice you're getting doesn't fit something happening with your health, you don’t need more doctors appointments, more apps, or more trackers. You need n-of-1 medicine.

At Carte, our physicians bring methodical, rigorous thinking, previously only practiced in ICU and academic research settings, to patients' important decisions - wherever and whenever they arise. 

No other practice design delivers Carte's caliber of physician time and attention — focused on you, and on what matters most.

Instead of thinking fast in rushed back-to-back appointments, our doctors think slow about your case between appointmentsand push others to do the same. 

The Carte n-of-1 Method

Not more appointments. More strategy.

STEP 1: RESEARCH

Our doctors gain a holistic understanding of you to get your health affairs in order.

  • We collect and review your health data across all records sources
  • Both prevention and illness care are included in our evaluation
  • We identify the true questions: what's not figured out that's holding your health back?
  • Then we go deep on research and domain experts custom to you
  • We personally convene with doctors and experts involved to review your case
  • Our vetted in-house experts covering >60 specialties check recommendations
  • Your Carte physician lead is on-call 24/7 to help along the way
  • We constantly review all results and recommendations so nothing is missed

STEP 2: ADVOCACY

Then your lead physician keeps full context as they stay with you to keep things on track.

STEP 3: IMPLEMENTATION

Our health concierges take the busywork of health management off your plate.

  • We handle scheduling doctors’ appointments and get off waitlists
  • We transfer medical records and relevant context to specialists
  • We nudge offices to ensure orders and requests keep moving along
  • If there's a blocker to your health, we identify and remove it

End-to-end involvement by a doctor who knows you. That’s why our medical decisions meet a higher standard than anywhere else.

What n-of-1 medicine looks like in real life

“Dad’s health was worsening, with several ER visits a year. Carte stabilized him then helped him make consistent improvement on long-term health goals, like regaining his mobility.”

Colleen, 37, Senior Policy Advisor


“I trusted Carte with my Dad’s complex health issues. A year later we have their team to thank for his beautiful recovery.”

Rohan, 32, Sales Leader

Having a Carte physician

Most patients navigate medicine alone, trying to make sense of fragmented advice from specialists who don’t see the whole picture. That’s where missteps happen — and where clarity is lost.

Carte changes that dynamic completely.
With our physician-led team, you gain:

This isn’t more healthcare.

It’s better healthcare — with physicians who take responsibility for the whole arc of your decisions.
