Nearly 20% of insured patients arriving for a first mental health appointment report having thoughts of suicide. Among teenagers, closer to a third. We looked at 189,225 first visits in all 50 states. Our new peer-reviewed study is out in @jmirpub. Our Head of Clinical Product @nicolebensonmd on the findings and why they matter: headway.co/blog/peer-reviewe…

Building a mental healthcare system everyone can access comes down to a thousand small things: page speed, test reliability, dead feature flags, the backlog that's always one sprint away. So we built a pool of AI agents to take it on. They triage the backlog, write the fix, and see their own PRs through CI and review. It shipped 250+ PRs in 8 weeks; zero human-written code, every line reviewed. A writeup on how we built it and what we learned on the Headway tech blog: medium.com/p/7b10cd18dc99

Our CTO shipped 60 PRs last month. Not by clearing his calendar, but by working with AI agents between meetings. We didn’t want to use AI off the shelf, so we built our own. Now 80%+ of the company uses Eddy, our internal AI platform, every day. The biggest shift isn’t speed, it’s how we work. People are attempting things they would’ve previously filtered out as “too heavy.” Engineers and non-engineers alike are building and shipping. The gap between idea and execution is getting very thin. Our CTO Arnaud shares the full story: medium.com/headway-tech/buil…

Mental health care is deeply human, but too much time is lost to admin, and patients still struggle to find the right care. Applied thoughtfully, AI can change that by freeing clinicians and patients to focus on what actually matters. That’s why we’re excited to welcome the team behind Tezi: builders who share our belief that the hardest problems in healthcare require humans and AI working together.

Mental health care is one of the defining challenges of our time. Millions of people are trying to find care, understand their insurance, and navigate a system that’s often confusing and fragmented. Solving that isn’t just a clinical challenge, it’s a technical one too. At Headway, our engineering and product teams are working on the infrastructure behind a better mental health system: helping patients find the right provider, making insurance more predictable, and reducing administrative burden for clinicians. The pace and impact of that work has never been greater, so we decided to start writing about it. So we’re launching the Headway Tech Blog, offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to build a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. Our first post dives into how we used machine learning to improve healthcare billing accuracy, moving from a massive rules engine to a production ML system that reduced billing interpretation errors by 40% across the platform. Check out the team's first entry here: medium.com/headway-tech/impr…

Behind many mental health providers are lived experiences that shape why they show up for others. For Robert, breaking generational cycles meant learning to see vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness. Robert shares how his own history shaped the way he shows up for others, and why expanding access to care matters to him now more than ever. This is Purpose in practice.
