Tanzeem Choudhury

Tanzeem Choudhury is a Cornell professor in computational health and information science, co-founder of HealthRhythms, and a New York-based solo angel writing under-$25k checks at pre-seed and seed in mental and behavioral health and AI/ML in healthcare. Her academic and operator credentials in computational behavioral health and mobile sensing make her one of the most technically credentialed angels at the intersection of AI and mental health, and her HealthRhythms operating context gives her direct pattern recognition on building behavioral health products with AI-driven sensing. Founders building AI-native mental health, computational behavioral health platforms, mobile sensing for clinical applications, or companies where her academic-and-operator credibility adds meaningful technical and clinical value are the natural fit. She is the wrong audience for biotech, devices outside the digital-sensing stack, consumer wellness without a clinical angle, or B2B healthcare software outside the behavioral health space. The under-$25k check size means she is a high-signal advisor-with-check rather than a meaningful capital source, and her real value is academic credibility and access to the Cornell Tech and computational health research community. Outreach via LinkedIn is the primary channel; warm introductions through Cornell Tech, the digital mental health research community, or HealthRhythms networks materially outperform cold notes. Best treated as a high-signal academic-operator advisor angel for AI mental health founders.
