Excellent innovation! Very reminiscent of South Central Foundation and their goal of specialty access in 5 min (via phone consult) - nice pursuit of 2nd order vs 1st order change.

This. Is. My. Life. We don’t have hearing loss hoops, but we have plenty of other hoops. The health system and government need to seriously reckon with the burden of care, i.e. the burden placed on people to receive care or service.
