We will help create a future when humans can avoid and overcome pain and emotional suffering, improving the quality and length of life, deepening human connection, and replacing the current healthcare system with “new growth” products and services rooted in charity and kindness, better decision-making, quality care for all, and moral financial incentives supporting vitality and longevity versus the perverse current system which incentivizes and worsens sickness and disease.
Since the mid-1990's, there has been a Universal Diagnostic Tool for all manufacturers of cars, a car owner does not need to seek a "second opinion" as every auto mechanic can uniformly diagnose what is wrong with an automobile. Sadly, in the "practice" of medicine, we still rely upon "second opinions" and no uniform or universal diagnosis. At Profound, we believe that we should have universal forms of diagnosis using advances in data, artificial intelligence, and more. We are creating, funding, and building ventures to deliver on the promise of Predictive & Personalized Health for human pain and emotional suffering. Pain is the #1 reason why patients visit the doctor, and exists at the nexus of healthcare.
Technology has been used to "de-humanize" our healthcare system. Patients feel like just a number. Clinicians are burned out. Despite being the 3rd largest GDP in the world (after the nations of the United States and China), the U.S. Healthcare System is failing as life expectancy is falling, childhood mortality is increasing, and chronic diseases are worsening. Chronic pain is the nation's most prevalent and expensive health condition. At Profound, we are creating, funding, and building ventures to deliver a concierge-level loving care for all people. Those who currently have concierge care really do not need it, and those who need cannot afford it. We can do better and will do better.
The U.S. healthcare system is unfortunately filled with "perverse incentives" where the system profits on sickness rather than vitality. Healthcare providers make money treating sickness, not keeping people healthy. The government intentionally keeps laws and regulations confusing. Insurance companies call themselves "payers" but we know that they are actually "deniers", and the costs escalate every year. At Profound, we want to reverse the perverse incentives so that healthcare providers can make money by doing the right things, participants can comply with laws and not be extorted by the government, and insurance companies can protect their profits without denying quality care.
