In America, more than 80% of deaths related to pregnancy are considered preventable. The top cause (nearly 1 in 4) is from mental health conditions. 1 in 5 pregnant patients report mistreatment during maternity care, and nearly 30% face discrimination. These troubling statistics disproportionately affect Black, multiracial, and Hispanic individuals. Often, bias in healthcare starts with labeling—whether a patient is deemed "non-compliant". For instance, a patient struggling with transportation might not be able to attend critical prenatal classes but is judged as non-compliant. And without supporing their mental health, the patient's ability to take on the huge changes in life is hindered. Addressing these gaps starts with acknowledging our own biases and recognizing that health is shaped not only by medical care but by the conditions in which people live. Technology can play a crucial role in reducing bias by identifying the touch points in patient interactions when providers can create more trust and less judgement. Emotivo’s technology supports this by analyzing patient-provider conversations, to identify gaps in social needs and improve culturally competent care. Rebekah Dailey, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, LSSGB thoughtful insights into this pressing issue highlight the importance of addressing these disparities head-on. By integrating tools like Emotivo, we can take meaningful steps toward more equitable, empathetic care for all patients. What are your thoughts on how healthcare can better address biases and support diverse communities? #emotivohealth #SDOH #MaternalHealth #HealthcareInnovation

Can you imagine providing an intense, emotion-filled 50-minute therapy session and then needing to spend 15 to 20 minutes documenting your services? And not being paid for it? And to do that for five to eight sessions every day? Mental health providers are essential to supporting individuals with psychological, emotional, and behavioral challenges, yet they face a significant burden with documentation. From session notes to treatment plans, insurance paperwork, and other administrative tasks, providers are spending hours each day on work that isn’t reimbursed. This unpaid work eats into personal time, contributes to burnout, and creates a sense of inequity in the profession. It’s clear that we need solutions. At Emotivo, we’re working on tools to reduce the time spent on these administrative tasks, so mental health providers can focus more on what they do best, caring for their patients. #emotivohealth #MentalHealthSupport #ClinicalDocumentation #MentalHealthProviders

Everyone has its own unique way of celebrating Thanksgiving—whether it’s a perfectly dry turkey attempted by a family member, or a vegetarian dish passed down for generations from another country. While traditions may differ, one thing connects us: the opportunity to pause and give thanks for who and what we have. Take a moment to reflect on honoring tradition and diversity in our experiences. It’s the beauty of these shared moments for listening and reconnecting that makes this season special. How are you giving thanks this holiday? Let's pause and spread that feeling with others. #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #Tradition #Community #Diversity

For millions of patients across the U.S., language barriers complicate healthcare experiences and outcomes. When patients struggle to communicate symptoms or comprehend medical advice due to language differences, the risks are high: missed symptoms, delayed diagnoses, low medication adherence, and less trust in the care system. Research indicates that language-concordant care—where patients and providers communicate effectively—can significantly improve health outcomes. Without it, vulnerable populations, particularly non-native speakers and multilingual communities, face challenges that often go unnoticed in clinical settings, from unvoiced concerns to untreated symptoms. For healthcare executives, addressing these barriers is not just an operational goal; it’s an ethical imperative. To provide inclusive care, the ability to integrate language-access solutions in all parts of the patient journey, and nourish multilingual healthcare teams are critical steps toward quality outcomes. Solutions designed to handle more than just English, analyze patient-provider communication, track rapport, and recognize social needs can be transformative, ensuring that patients are fully supported in expressing themselves. Investing in strategies to bridge these gaps reflects a commitment to a healthcare future that’s measurable and effective for all—where every patient feels seen, heard, and understood.

As a founder, it's so important to have a supportive community who understands the ups and downs of that journey. The Company Ventures Boost Founder Fellowship made those ups happen through connections and partnerships that I had not even imagined. And Emotivo Health still continues to benefit from being part of this cohort and the New York City Economic Development Corporation founder fellows. If you're a founder that feels like you've been going at it alone, I highly recommend applying!

Did you know that where someone lives can sometimes predict their health outcomes more accurately than their genetics? A community's zip code can reveal insights into health that DNA alone can't capture. Data on social factors—like access to nutritious food, stable housing, and transportation—enables health plans to uncover opportunities for cost-effective, impactful interventions that truly matter. Take, for example, an initiative in rural Appalachia: an insurer funded school-based mental health programs. This strategic investment supported students, lifted the well-being of entire families, and even helped school staff, strengthening the resilience of the community as a whole. So, what’s your perspective? Do you think zip codes can have a stronger impact on health than genetics? We’d love to hear your insights in the comments!

What happens outside the clinic can significantly impact our well-being. Here are essential ways we can promote health equity and support healthier lives: 1. Prioritizing Stable Housing - For individuals with chronic health conditions, having a stable place to call home can be life-changing. It serves as the foundation for their journey toward improved health. 2. Nutritious Food Access - Healthy eating is fundamental, yet many face barriers to accessing nutritious food. Community programs can help bridge this gap, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive. 3. Addressing Transportation Barriers - No one should miss out on healthcare due to transportation challenges. Providing reliable rides can empower individuals to seek care when they need it most. 4. Community Resource Hubs - Care hubs bring together healthcare services, social support, and community resources, making them easily accessible in people's neighborhoods.

As the ACA enrollment period starts, it’s crucial for health plans to understand the importance of starting members off on the right note, particularly for underserved communities. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Expanded Coverage: After Medicaid unwinding, the ACA has made significant strides in keeping people covered, including with mental health services and related benefits. This year, it’s essential to communicate these options effectively to ensure that those who need care know how to access it. 2. Focus on Inclusivity: Many individuals in diverse communities may still face barriers in trust with their insurer. Consider outreach strategies that address language and cultural differences to foster a more inclusive environment. 3. Screening for SDOH: Create workflows for your teams to screen for not only medical conditions, but also health related social needs, which can be met to curb costly hospitalizations. 4. Community Resources: Partnering with local organizations can enhance outreach efforts. Collaborating with community groups ensures that potential enrollees receive information about their options in familiar and trusted environments. 5. Follow Up and Support: Post-enrollment, it's important to continue supporting patients as they navigate their coverage. Providing resources and information can help patients understand how to utilize their benefits effectively. As we head into this crucial period, let's work together to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to access quality mental health and alleviate social risk factors. #emotivohealth #ACA #affordablecareact #healthcare #HealthPlanExecutives #marketplaceplans #sponsoredinsurancefunds #sdoh #hrsn #memberengagement
