Sweet Bee

Hello BeeMee Friends!

Some of you have been here since the beginning. Some of you are just finding me. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Last year at this time when I had just announced BeeMee to close friends and family, I was at the salon getting my hair done and talking with my stylist about my new idea.  In that conversation we uncovered an innovative advancement into what BeeMee could offer Therapists and other behavioral professionals: A dashboard for them to see an overview of the users mood fluctuations, data showing calendar tasks that spark, or dim with completion, and the tool for keeping hold of what to take into the next therapy session.  TheraBee

Now, a year later -  with the help from those closest to me I packed twenty goodie bags filled with BeeMee swag and information about TheraBee.  I mapped a route across Salt Lake, Summit, and Wasatch counties to speak with Therapists, Clinical Directors, Recovery Centers, and Sober Living Facilities.  The day starte

d early.  I had a few setbacks and I pivoted.  The conversations were genuine. The people were wonderful and I drove home knowing I had done exactly what I had planned to do.

Here's What We Know

BeeMee

The problem: Mental Health

(Anxiety, Grief, Addiction, Depression, ADHD, Insomnia, PTSD, etc.) 

What BeeMee Solves:  BeeMee is your life management tool.  The task and emotional tracker of all the day-to-day things you do that can range anywhere from feeling like thriving, mundane, routine, or meaningless. 

You tell your therapist what you remember.  BeeMee shows you what you live. 

TheraBee

The problem:  Gaps in Therapist Visits

What TheraBee Solves: BeeMee gives patients a daily summary they don't have to reconstruct from memory. TheraBee’s dashboard puts that data in the hands of the trusted professionals who need it and when they need it.  

Take a little walk with me :)

• Kids are at school, you leave work, and step away from whatever real life is demanding.

• You sit with your therapist for an hour. You leave feeling lighter. Clearer.

• Then you get in your car.

By the time you hit the freeway, real life is already creeping back in. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a thought forms that every person who has ever been in therapy knows by heart:

I wish I could tell my therapist this.

That moment is real. And by the next appointment, it's gone.

The hippocampus has a particular way of storing memories.  It reconstructs, rebuilds, and then shapes them by cortisol levels, current emotional state, and what's happened since that moment. High stress compresses memory and low mood colors it darker- which is why after having a good day it makes the bad ones harder to access.

Someone shared this with me recently, a spouse who has watched her husband navigate bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety, and OCD through years of treatment. She wrote:

"On a good day, he couldn't accurately remember the bad, severe days. And when he was having a bad day, he couldn't remember that things hadn't always been terrible. If the psychiatrist and psychologist could have had his daily record, they could have made an earlier diagnosis and prescribed medication more accurately."

She also noted that as the spouse, she could see things her husband couldn't, but HIPAA laws meant the doctors couldn't hear from her. She has had critical information and no bridge to share it.

THIS is the gap. THIS IS EXACTLY THE GAP.

Now, a new challenge- one that appears it can think like you, but isn’t human.  

The 21st century Problem:  AI

The feedback about AI from the field is mixed. Some embrace it. Some are skeptical. Some are waiting to see.

The University of Utah just created a brand new title: Chief Health AI Transformation Officer  and Dr. Kensaku Kawamoto is the first person to hold it. He's also Vice Chair of Clinical AI and Informatics and a Top 25 Healthcare Innovator. He said it plainly: clinical informatics is "a core enabler for the types of fundamental changes required" in healthcare today. https://medicine.utah.edu/faculty/kensaku-kawamoto

The most forward-thinking minds in the field have already been pointing this direction.    

The conversations from Loveland Colorado, to Cache County, SLC, and neighboring Summit, and Wasatch counties in Utah have provided notable market research in this region of the USA.  

Simply put, AI is not going anywhere soon and AI still needs to be understood by many.  Healthcare leaders, Educations leaders, and governments are utilizing AI’s capabilities for improving their services to the general public.  

What do you think?  How has your experience with AI changed since the first time you used it?
