Arvra is Keeping Human Connection Rooted at the Heart of Digital Wellness

On today's show we're diving into wellness and mental health. We are told AI is the future of healthcare, but can algorithms truly handle mental health?

Georgie Spurling, founder of Arvra, argues they can't.

After a childhood heart operation defined her limitations, Georgie built a platform that defies the industry’s obsession with pure scalability. She joins David Savage to discuss why "hustle culture" is a false narrative, why preventative health is failing, and why she deliberately limits automation to protect human connection.
