When Research Leaves You Out: The Real-World Impact of Narrow Data in Clinical Trials Imagine you’re prescribed a medication for a serious condition—maybe a rare disease or a certain type of cancer—only to find it was tested on a limited portion of the population. How can anyone be sure it’ll work for you? This is the real cost of narrow clinical trial data, where entire groups are left out and treatments may not be effective for everyone who needs them. What if we could change that? In our latest blog post, we explore how Geno.Me is addressing this critical challenge by linking a person’s genetic data with their health records, making it easier for researchers to develop more inclusive, more effective treatments. Curious to learn more? Don’t miss this timely discussion with Britt Gottschalk MBA, MIO on creating a future where every patient is represented.

We’re beyond proud of our colleague Chris Thompson, founder and CEO of Sober Sidekick, for recently being featured on a TED Talk! 🎤👏 Chris has revolutionized the recovery landscape by creating the world’s largest digital recovery platform — Sober Sidekick by Empathy Health Tech — an app that gamifies peer-to-peer support, forming meaningful connections around conversations that are often too difficult to have elsewhere. Chris relocated his company from California to #NWArk and believes the region is becoming an emerging hub for healthcare innovation — and we couldn’t agree more! 🚀✨ #HealthTech #StartupSuccess #SocialImpact
