If you had a theme song, what would it be and why?

“With a little help from my friends” by the Beatles. At Braid.Health , we put the consumer at the center of the healthcare experience and promote greater and more timely collaboration among providers. By making people our priority, we hope to radically transform the healthcare industry from the currently outdated and frustrating system into one that is more well-connected and secure. These connections are needed most at the edges of the healthcare system, not only in rural areas, but also in clinics within major metropolitan areas. As is often the case, you only get one chance to diagnose early and this requires expert and timely care.
