Start your own longevity practice. Keep your job.
Longevity is one of the fastest-moving cash-pay fields, and one of the least served by purpose-built software. Openwell launches your independent practice and gives you the operating system to run it, built around biomarkers, wearables, and advanced labs. Stay employed while you prove it out.

The operating system, built for longevity medicine.
The practice you would run if the busywork ran itself. You keep the panel, the medicine, and the relationship. The system does the rest.
- Multi-omic and genetic intake
- Epigenetic-age and biomarker dashboards
- DEXA and VO2max ingestion
- Continuous wearables (CGM, Oura, WHOOP)
- Algorithm-assisted protocols: nutrition, training, sleep, recovery
Asked by every physician who got this far.
Can I start a longevity practice while staying employed?
Yes. Launching on the side is common and runs alongside your current job in roughly ten hours a week. You keep your salary while the practice proves itself, it is reversible, and you can cancel anytime.
Does my contract allow me to start my own practice?
The free check reads your employment terms in plain language: whether you can start a side practice now, or need to wait out a notice period first. A red result is an honest not yet, with the date you can revisit. It is a directional read based on your answers and common contract patterns, not legal advice, so have your specific agreement reviewed by counsel before acting.
What if my contract says no?
We will connect you with a network of healthcare attorneys who can review your contract and your situation in more depth. Book a time with us and we will make the introduction.
Will patients pay cash for longevity medicine?
The demand is already there. Longevity is one of the fastest-moving cash-pay categories in medicine, and these patients already pay out of pocket for advanced labs, wearables, and performance protocols.
Can the OS ingest wearables and advanced labs?
That is the core of it: multi-omic and genetic intake, epigenetic-age and biomarker dashboards, DEXA and VO2max ingestion, and continuous wearable signals from CGM, Oura, and WHOOP. It is the product vision we are building and testing with founding clinical advisors, and you watch it run on demo patients before you go live.
Do I need to form a company first?
No. We set up your physician-owned entity for you, structured to your state's rules, along with the rest of the launch checklist.
Who handles malpractice insurance?
It is handled as part of activation. Your practice holds its own policy through a licensed broker, so the carrier bears the risk and Openwell coordinates it without being your insurer.
Is the contract check legal advice?
No. The contract check is a tool that gives a directional read based on your answers and common contract patterns. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship, so have your specific agreement reviewed by counsel before acting.
