    What Happens When You Believe In AI Before Everyone Else? with Yan-David “Yanda” Erlich

    What if building great AI isn’t just about data and models—but about the mindset of the people behind it?

    Why Can’t Mental Health Innovations Reach the People Who Need Them Most? with Dr. Amber Childs

    What if the data you collect could actually make mental health care more human? Dr. Amber Childs, Yale psychologist and expert in adolescent mental health, says measurement-based care isn’t just about numbers—it’s about connection. When done right, it strengthens the therapeutic alliance, empowers patients, and helps clinicians catch what they might otherwise miss. In episode five of Neural Compass, Dr. Childs shares how we can use data to close equity gaps, personalize treatment, and design systems that actually serve the people in them. They cover: - What measurement-based care really looks like in practice - How Dr. Childs built a tool to reduce clinician burnout and improve outcomes - Why the future of behavioral health must include caregiver voices - The entrepreneurial lessons she learned turning a “flip-flop budget” into system-wide change Learn more: jiminihealth.com

    What Happens When a Patient Works with Both a Therapist and AI? with Jon Tippens

    "What if therapy didn’t just happen once a week—but became something you practiced every day?" In this episode of Neural Compass, host Mark Jacobstein (co-founder and president of Jimini Health) sits down with Jon Tippens, a software engineer, musician, and Jimini patient, to explore how technology is reshaping the way we experience mental health care. Jon shares his deeply personal story as one of the first Jimini patients to go public about his experience—what changed when he started using Sage, Jimini’s AI companion, alongside human therapy, and how that shift transformed his understanding of what “effective therapy” can look like. With humor, insight, and a powerful metaphor from music education, Jon offers a new model: one where real growth comes from daily, meaningful engagement, not just 45 minutes a week. They cover: - Why real therapeutic change can happen between sessions—not just during them - The power of conversational journaling and AI-augmented reflection - How lowering friction can make mental health care more consistent and effective - Why it can feel easier to open up to a machine than a person - A new way to think about therapy as skill-building, not just storytelling Learn more: jiminihealth.com
