    What did Luis teach us?

    1. 01

      Behavioral health relies on language, not just data. Voloch saw early AI prototypes and realized the field was ready for a new care model because language is central to diagnosis and treatment.

    2. 02

      Clinicians are valuable assets, not just costs to cut. Jiminy built their AI, Sage, to support clinicians because the connection between a patient and therapist is crucial for good outcomes.

    3. 03

      Millions of conversations show a huge unmet need for mental health support. Voloch points to people seeking help anywhere they can as a sign that we urgently need proper, clinically supervised options.

    4. 04

      The real challenge is helping patients stick with their care, not just diagnosing them. Sage's main success has been helping patients stay engaged with appointments and exercises between therapy sessions.

    5. 05

      There is no existing blueprint for how to price AI in healthcare. Jiminy has tried different pricing models because their AI is a new kind of tool, not just an improvement on existing ones.

    6. 06

      AI creates more demand for human expertise, it does not remove jobs. Just like in radiology, AI can handle routine tasks in behavioral health, allowing clinicians to focus on the most complex cases.
