According to Accedian’s vice president of cybersecurity strategy, Mike Rezek, the $800 billion set aside for 5G in the federal infrastructure bill lays the groundwork for closing the digital divide; yet, the access won’t become meaningful until people have access to digital tools that actually make their lives better.

What if software could help us prevent migraines or severely limit their frequency? 

Migraines are a debilitating form of headache disorder affecting nearly one in six Americans, especially women.

In this episode, you’ll meet the head of research at Happify Health as they talk to Brendon and Murray about the promise of digital medicine to help people who suffer from migraines.
