What happens when life asks us to open a new door?

In this episode of Aperture, I’m joined by my dear friend Anne Devereaux Mills, founder of Parlay House, to explore the transitions that reshape us—illness, loss, motherhood, aging, identity, and the unexpected paths that emerge when life doesn’t go according to plan.

We talk about what it means to feel truly cared for, the power of human connection, and how we can choose what makes us whole rather than allowing what hurts to define us. Anne’s story is ultimately one of courage, reinvention, and the belief that there is always another door waiting to be opened.

What happens when technology can measure almost everything about a patient, but still miss the story behind the data?

In this episode of Aperture, Kelvin Summoogum, CEO of MiiHealth AI, explores the intersection of healthcare, technology, and narrative medicine. He shares how caring for his father shaped his approach to data, dignity, compassion, and personalized care.

The conversation explores responsible AI, the importance of deep listening, and why older adults must be seen as people, not just data points. At the heart of Kelvin’s work is a mission to help older adults live safely and independently at home while using technology to keep the human story at the center of care.

In this debut episode of Aperture: Widen the Frame, I talk with Jane Sarasohn Khan, a health economist, writer, trend weaver, and human-centered healthcare visionary to explore the enduring story of health and what it means to be a “health citizen” today.

We journey from ancient herbalists and community pharmacies to digital therapeutics, exploring how technology, culture, economics, policy, and community shape our collective well-being.

I invite you to listen as we widen the frame on health and explore how technology, economics, art, history, and human connection intersect to shape our collective health story. Join us as we widen the frame on health and discover why seeing the bigger picture matters now more than ever.
