The assignment.

Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. These were the rewards following my once-fruitful career within the military intelligence community. My story varies little from millions of veterans and first responders before me and those still serving today. It's a story that resonates with a growing majority battling mental health or chronic illness — despite record-breaking spending, year over year.

Conventional tactics are fundamentally failing. This prevailing sentiment forces the question — why does the malfunctioning system continue to preside in defiance of majority will? That is the five-trillion-dollar-per-year question hiding behind century-old entrenchments and administrative hyperinflation. As automation advances, nearly every industry has reduced its administrative overhead. Medicine is the obnoxious outlier demanding attention.

It's being presented by a collective of veterans and industry leaders acutely aware of the problems. These problems sprawl through industry, government, and demographic; so must the solutions. This is not a proposal to fix the current system. It is an assignment — a conviction to bring precision, integrative medicine to the individual.

AI, like money, is a powerful tool and can be leveraged for either good or evil. It is a good, loving thing to leverage AI for the prevention of disease, the reduction of suffering, to reduce provider burnout, and increase access to precision medicine. Conversely, leveraging AI to increase earnings under the guise of benevolence — would be evil.

This is the first time in history that technology allows mass deployment of individualized, precision medicine, seamlessly integrated across industries. Now we can; so now we should. I extend my deepest gratitude to those lending their time and expertise to turn these ideas into outcomes.
