In this episode of the StartUp Health NOW podcast, Unity Stoakes sits down with Mitul Desai, co-founder of The Care Hack, a member of StartUp Health's Caregiving Moonshot Community. Desai opens up about the decades-long journey that began when his younger brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and his family became full-time caregivers – with no support, no training, and no roadmap. Drawing from this lived experience, Mitul partnered with psychiatrist Dr. Eli Shalenberg to launch The Care Hack, a platform purpose-built for cognitive caregivers – those supporting loved ones with long-term brain and mental health conditions. Together, they're on a mission to bring caregivers into the center of the healthcare system, not just as recipients of support, but as key contributors to better outcomes and lower costs. You'll hear why Mitul left a successful career in law, policy, and tech to pursue this mission, how The Care Hack is partnering with providers and payers to scale what already works, and what it means to create infrastructure for the “second healthcare system” that families already power every day. Listen to learn why The Care Hack isn't just another health app – it's a movement grounded in empathy, evidence, and a belief that caregivers can change everything when given the right tools.

Dean went and spoke to asylum seekers and homeless sleeping in tents, and to young men from working class communities involved in the protests. Dean explains how we need to come at this through finding our common humanity, understanding and responding to the scale of abandonment and exclusion of working class communities, the housing crisis, and being honest, about it all, as Dean is in this conversation about his own mental health.

This weeks episode is nothing to do with music or arts. This weeks podcast is a compilation of interviews with those who have been sleeping on the streets of our capital on a regular basis. To hear straight from the mouth of those affected the worst by our nations homelessness. This sleepout was for FOCUS Ireland and thanks to everyone who donated I raised €400 on the night. These interviews were recorded by myself and later in the night Lauren took over while I slept out. Shortly after this sleepout the homelessness crisis was thrown into the limelight with Apollo House. There's a lot left to be done but every little helps. Listen to these stories and thank you all for your support throughout this campaign.
