HHS TOPx Tech Sprint · People's Choice
Your vote tells HHS that patients' own knowledge counts.
Chrysalis Health Spaces is a patient advocacy and care management tool for people with complex chronic and invisible illness, and the people who care for them. It's up for People's Choice in a national HHS tech sprint, and the public picks the winner.

Watch the demo
Our MVP showcase for HHS, in under six minutes.
Brittany Martin, our president, walks through Nora’s Health Space. Nora is a fictional patient, and the demo uses fictional data.
What you're voting for
Put all the pieces of your health together.
Between visits, a lot happens. Health Spaces captures it as it happens, so patients can bring the whole story to the people who care for them.
Your illness, in your own words
Symptom and Condition Expression Cards make room for your own description of illness. Conditions are labeled clinician diagnosed, self diagnosed or candidate, so a condition you’re investigating can be carried through dismissals and misdiagnoses until you get real clinical answers.
Just talk or type
Chrysalis asks focused follow-up questions, so you don’t have to be your own data clerk.
Patterns over time
Your updates are routed appropriately, surfacing patterns over time. Weather and air quality are added to your evidence, and wearables like Apple Watch are coming next, so patterns show up alongside what you report.
More than worked or didn’t
A treatment can help one problem while worsening another, or become impossible to continue because of cost, access, or tolerability. Things Tried captures what actually happened, and playbooks help you remember what works when symptoms hit.
A handoff you review first
A baseline holds more history and context for someone new to your care. An interval holds what’s changed since the last visit. You review and approve it, then share a readable PDF.
Screens from the Health Spaces MVP, with fictional patient data.
Built with patients: six patient and caregiver interviews, one practitioner expert session, and four patients who came back to review our beta before the MVP.
Why your vote matters
Some of what you've lived through has never been on the form.
We mapped all 626 variables in the 2024 National Health Interview Survey against what patients highlighted as important. Eight areas are missing measures, including:
Health Spaces tracks those missing measures. With separate consent, these histories could help researchers see the real journey from first mystery to clinician diagnosis.
People's Choice is the part of this sprint the public decides. Every thumbs-up tells HHS that tools built on patients' own knowledge are worth backing.

Questions about voting
What does pledging mean?
It means you're with us. Your pledge counts today, we send your voting link as soon as voting opens, and we keep you posted through launch. The vote itself happens on Crowdicity.
I already pledged. Do I still need to vote?
Yes. Your pledge through our website wasn’t the actual vote, so we still need you to take this step on Crowdicity. Go straight to the vote.
Why do you ask for my email first?
So we can tell you how the vote goes and when Chrysalis is ready for you. We never sell your information, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
Does voting cost anything?
No. Voting is free, and so is the Crowdicity account if it asks you to make one.
Do I need a Chrysalis account?
No. Voting happens on Crowdicity, and you don't have to sign up for anything of ours.
Can I vote more than once?
No, and please don't make extra accounts. One vote per person is the rule, and it's how we want to win.
When does voting close?
We'll post the exact date here as soon as the sprint confirms it.
Can I use Chrysalis now?
Not yet. We're starting with free beta groups, then broader access in early 2027, after full safety testing. Everyone who pledges will hear when it’s ready.
Is Nora a real patient?
No. Nora is a fictional patient, and everything in the demo and the screens on this page uses fictional data.
Chrysalis was a Phase 1 winner in a federal challenge. That is not an endorsement by HHS, NIH or FDA. Nothing we offer depends on whether you vote.
