About Us

MyClearStep is on a mission to improve access to care and clinical outcomes.

Our Story

MyClearStep was founded in 2020 by CEO Nati Lavi, identifying a clear gap in quality of virtual care for eating disorder recovery. With his extensive history in data and innovation, he recognized the traditional method of capturing blind weights was outdated, stressful, time consuming, and expensive for both clients and clinicians. MyClearStep launched the first HIPAA and privacy compliant numberless scale to solve these problems early in 2020. Since the onset of COVID-19, MyClearStep has been the go-to solution for capturing blind weights and blood pressure in eating disorder treatment and continues to innovate and expand the products and services provided on the platform.
