What does Rhem Labs do?
Rhem Labs is a robotics company based across San Francisco, Germany, and Tokyo building AI-powered home companion robots for family health care. Its first product, Rhem, uses onboard sensors to measure vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, SpO2, ECG, body temperature) and home air quality, running an on-device AI engine to explain readings and take action like scheduling appointments. Founded in 2025 by CEO Jacob Shen and CTO Huey Schink, the company is part of Y Combinator's Fall 2026 batch and launched Rhem on Kickstarter in July 2026.
