# Lineage Health

> Lineage Health is the healthcare handoff platform for young adults ages 18–26 and their parents. It moves insurance, records, and the context only a parent knows from the parent who has held it for 18 years to the young adult who now has to use it — at the exact moment healthcare gets hardest: the transition from parent-managed to independent care.

Young adults are the worst-served age group in American healthcare: the highest uninsured rate of any age group, the lowest health insurance literacy, the fewest established doctor relationships, and the least experience navigating the system. At 18, HIPAA cuts parents off from a young adult's records. At 26, the young adult is cut off from a parent's plan. Nothing moves the knowledge from one to the other. Lineage Health is that handoff.

How it works, in three steps:
- **Connect.** A parent extends a view of their insurance and records to the young adult — like adding an authorized user to a credit card.
- **Capture.** The parent shares the context only they know: family history, childhood vaccines, allergies, medications, the doctors who saw their kid grow up.
- **Decide.** Lineage Health surfaces the next decision at the right moment — the refill before it runs out, the in-network doctor near campus, the plan choice at 26.
