SONATA vs. Private Medical

SONATA ($2,500/year) includes 140+ biomarkers, whole-genome sequencing, and biological aging analysis, with unlimited access to physicians who prescribe and coordinate your care. Private Medical (a reported $40,000/year per adult) is an in-person concierge practice with offices in six cities; it doesn't list genetic testing.

SONATA also has its own engineering team building clinical AI for its doctors, so your genetics and history shape your care.

Private Medical gives you a doctor's office. SONATA gives you care built for your biology, for a fraction of the price.

01SONATA offers more testing for a fraction of the price

Private Medical doesn't publish pricing. Clients told CNBC it charges $40,000 a year per adult, covering visits and in-office tests. SONATA includes three layers of testing for $2,500 a year:

• 140+ blood biomarkers, retested every six months.
• Whole-genome sequencing, with polygenic risk scores for 19 conditions.
• DNA methylation testing for biological age and pace of aging.

02SONATA builds your care plan based on your genetics

Private Medical builds a health road map and yearly plan from your exams, blood tests, and imaging. It doesn't list genetic testing. SONATA's membership includes clinical-grade whole-genome sequencing, and your genetics and medical history inform your care plan.

Take two people with the same cholesterol. If one has a higher inherited risk of heart disease, SONATA may set a lower ApoB target, start preventive medication, or order an earlier coronary calcium scan.

03SONATA's AI-empowered doctors

SONATA's clinical AI helps physicians connect thousands of research papers to your genetics, biomarkers, and history, work that could otherwise take days.

An in-house engineering team, led by a CTO who previously led engineering at Ramp, builds these tools and the member experience, from booking to iMessage. Private Medical uses AI in imaging, not for its physicians.

04Private Medical has offices and a global network

Private Medical has offices in six cities, asks for two in-office visits a year, and offers travel kits, medical evacuation, and 4,000+ specialists in 200 cities. SONATA is virtual: same-day appointments, at-home blood draws, and 24/7 messaging via iMessage or email. It isn't urgent care.

Private Medical may be a better fit if:

• You want in-person exams and house calls from an office.
• You want urgent and travel support worldwide, including medical evacuation.
• You want care for your children. SONATA does not offer pediatric care.

SONATA may be a better fit if:

• You want more testing for a fraction of the price.
• You want your genetics to shape your screening, treatment, and targets.
• You want doctors backed by clinical AI.
• You want same-day appointments and at-home blood draws.

SONATA gives you more, for a fraction of the price:

• More testing: 140+ biomarkers retested every six months, whole-genome sequencing, and biological age, all included.
• Care built on your genetics: your genes and history shape your targets, treatment, and screening.
• AI-empowered doctors: clinical AI, built in-house, connects the latest research to your biology.
• Care on your schedule: unlimited visits, same-day appointments, at-home blood draws, and 24/7 messaging via iMessage or email.

If you need a doctor's office and worldwide urgent care, Private Medical is a strong option. For everything else, SONATA does more for $2,500 a year, vs. a reported $40,000 at Private Medical.
