Mental health delivery remains anchored to a weekly, 50-minute appointment, even as other sectors have adopted continuous, adaptive models that scale. The prevailing cadence offers at best 52 hours of structured therapeutic contact each year, creating long gaps in support while daily stressors accumulate and insights fade. A shift is gathering...Read more

A global healthcare workforce crisis is on the horizon, with projections estimating a shortage of at least ten million healthcare workers by 2030. This shortfall poses severe risks not only to individual well-being but also to global health systems and economies. While expanding the workforce supply is crucial, it is no longer sufficient. The path...Read more

Despite the availability of effective treatments, accessible strategies for heart failure (HF) risk stratification remain limited. Current clinical risk scores (e.g., PCP-HF, PREVENT, Health ABC) require comprehensive clinical evaluation, which can exclude individuals without access to healthcare. Similarly, biomarker testing (e.g., NT-proBNP, troponins)...Read more
