On World Mental Health Day, Kate Spade New York brought together an inspiring mix of advocates, creators, clinicians, and thought leaders for its fourth Global Summit on Women’s Mental Health at The Times Center in New York City. The day-long event explored how women — and especially Gen Z — are reshaping the way we think about community, resilience, and mental health. 

Across powerful conversations with speakers including Kenneth Cole, Tara Davis-Woodhall, Masai Russell, Alyson Stoner, and Joy Woods, the summit highlighted a shared belief: that mental health is not separate from empowerment, it’s the foundation of it. Topics ranged from navigating digital pressures and financial anxiety to redefining authenticity and friendship in today’s world. 

The gathering also marked another milestone in Kate Spade’s decade-long commitment to women’s mental health. Through its Global Fund for Women’s Mental Health, launched in 2024, the brand aims to reach 250,000 women and girls with access to community-based care by 2030. Backed by more than $35 million invested to date and supported by partners like Lululemon, Pinterest, and Adyen, the fund reflects Kate Spade’s belief that purpose can create measurable impact. 

“As a brand rooted in joy, we know that good mental health is essential to helping women access their authentic voice, choice, and power,” said Taryn Bird, Executive Director of Social Impact at Kate Spade New York. 

Through initiatives like this summit, Kate Spade continues to show what it means for a fashion brand to lead with heart by turning optimism into action and proving that joy can be a powerful force for change.

Stakeholders of world-class equipment, technology and services company, CNH, including agricultural brands Case IH and New Holland, brought together conservation experts, policymakers and farmers to a one-day workshop. Held at the New Holland Campus Farm in the Chesapeake Bay area of Pennsylvania, USA, in July 2025 attendees shared best practices and innovative ideas.

Opening the event, CNH’s leadership highlighted that sustainability is a shared journey — one that may look different for each participant but ultimately connects everyone involved. “When we innovate, we think about how we can help customers raise productivity and reduce inputs,” said Chun Woytera, CNH’s Chief Quality & Customer Advocacy Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer. “Sustainability isn’t something any one group or company can achieve alone. By coming together, we can learn, grow and create solutions that make it easier for farmers to adopt conservation practices — because when our customers and local partners succeed, so do our industries and communities.”

This shared success goes beyond farming operations. Conservation practices not only protect soil, water and biodiversity, but also contribute to healthier and more productive crops and, ultimately, healthier food. Strengthening these connections is key to building resilient crop and food systems for the future.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 16, 2025 /3BL/ – ReliefAI Health Inc., a newly-launched connected care company that addresses the most pressing challenges in mental healthcare, announced how it aims to enhance the client experience, reduce early patient drop-out rates and improve communications between mental health practitioners and their clients.

ReliefAI Health is the latest venture backed by LG NOVA, LG Electronics’ North American Innovation Center. ReliefAI has collaborated with startups in the LG NOVA Innovation Program including Canary Speech, a voice AI technology for healthcare that can screen for cognitive and behavioral conditions; VeeOne, a technology platform for virtual healthcare; and Continicare Corp, a platform technology for the broader treatment and care of clients managing mental illness.

Atul Singh, CEO of ReliefAI Health, explained that, despite the demand for mental healthcare, 44 percent of clients discontinue therapy within the first four weeks.^[1] “This represents a critical breakdown in the therapy process, leading to poor outcomes for clients and significant revenue loss for clinics,” he said. “We’ve created a solution that strengthens the connection between therapist and their clients and provides a bigger picture of the experience beyond the traditional session. By integrating our AI-powered tools, we are not just going beyond therapy; we are creating a new paradigm of digital empowerment for mental health that drives better results for everyone involved.”

An AI-driven, digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) platform, in the form of a mobile app, ReliefAI Health is built for mental healthcare practitioners to provide to their clients, enabling them to track their progress in their mental health journey, on a daily, even hourly basis. By adjusting the communication method and engagement frequency, mental healthcare providers can gather more data and analysis on a client’s daily challenges and progress, thereby providing a more comprehensive picture of the client’s mental health and well-being. With more insights, providers are better enabled to manage ongoing issues and triggers while uncovering the underlying causes of behavior, resulting in more effective care and lasting improvements.

For providers, ReliefAI Health also boosts patient engagement, improves retention, and opens new revenue streams through remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) services. The technology and AI capabilities enable providers to become more efficient, potentially take on more clients to meet the growing needs for mental health care.

“Our experience deploying technology-driven recovery solutions laid the foundation for truly innovative support. By integrating the ReliefAI Health app into this comprehensive platform, we’ve taken another step forward, enhancing the recovery experience and strengthening long-term outcomes for individuals on their journey with substance use disorder,” said Raj Masih, CraveAlert Co-founder and Project Director of RPM at Potomac Highlands Guild, West Virginia.

“Through our brand values, LG has always been a proponent of improving people’s well-being through our products and brand mission of ‘Innovation for a Better Life.’ At LG NOVA, we’re building new ventures that tackle significant societal challenges and contribute to a better future,” said Dr. Sokwoo Rhee, Executive Vice President of Innovation at LG Electronics and Head of LG NOVA. “We see a crucial opportunity for technology to transform mental healthcare by strengthening the vital relationship between therapists and their clients. ReliefAI Health answers that need.”

In a competitive landscape of digital mental health solutions, ReliefAI Health is uniquely positioned as the only platform delivered through existing outpatient clinics, rather than creating a separate network of providers, according to Singh. This model ensures that the trusted, existing relationship between a therapist and their patient remains at the center of the care journey. The low adoption rate of digital CBT tools (or web-based intervention tools) presents a significant opportunity for providers to enhance patient retention and, consequently, outcomes. Guided web-based intervention tools have been shown to reduce patient dropout rates, by close to 2.7 times (72% over 26%) compared to unguided web-based intervention tools ^[2] and currently show an adoption rate of only 16 percent.^[3]

The ReliefAI Health platform is a HIPAA-compliant platform that includes:

• A Patient-Facing Mobile App: A user-friendly application that encourages patient engagement through features like mood tracking, voice journaling with AI insights, and therapist-assigned CBT goal setting.
• An Integrated Provider Dashboard: A comprehensive dashboard that syncs with a practice’s existing electronic health record (EHR) platform for ease of use. It provides therapists with real-time patient activity trends, AI-driven alerts, and tools for assigning and monitoring CBT activities.
• Revenue Enhancement: Automated delivery and billing of new RTM services, creating a 66 percent revenue upside for practices based on proprietary research provided by a third party.
• Advanced Security: End-to-end data encryption, role-based access control and continuous risk assessment to ensure HIPAA compliance.

Backed by LG’s leadership and expertise in building, user-friendly and intuitive HealthTech solutions, ReliefAI Health is led by an experienced team in the healthcare and technology sectors. CEO Singh brings 25 years of experience in digital healthcare, having built and scaled digital health businesses for major companies like Teva, AbbVie and Walgreens. Davide Di Censo, Head of Engineering and Product, has a 15-year track record of innovation in emerging technologies and human-centered design, including building LG’s first Telehealth platform.

ReliefAI Health is supported by a distinguished panel of clinical and AI advisors, including Dr. Brian Shaw, the co-creator of CBT; Dr. Dan Lieberman, Senior VP of Mental Health at Hims & Hers; and Kimberly McManus, Deputy CTO of AI at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

“At Canary Speech, our mission has always been to empower providers with objective, actionable insights that transform clinical decision-making. By working alongside innovative collaborators like LG NOVA for ReliefAI Health, we can advance a future where ambient voice biomarkers and real-time engagement tools give clinicians the clarity they need to intervene earlier, personalize care, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Together, we’re helping providers not only meet today’s challenges, but proactively shape the future of mental and cognitive health care.” – Henry O’Connell, CEO and Co-Founder, Canary Speech

“Continicare stands for continuity of care. We’ve always believed that effective mental health care begins with a deep understanding of each client, creating a personalized journey tailored to their unique needs. ReliefAI Health represents an exciting step forward in making this vision a reality. By extending support into daily personalized digital therapeutics, we strengthen the connection between therapists and their clients, improve engagement, and reduce the drop-out rates that have challenged the field for decades. We’re proud to be a key collaborator in this venture and look forward to shaping the future of digital mental health together with ReliefAI Health.” – Don Waugh, Chief of Strategy and Corporate Development, Continicare

“At VeeOne Health, we understand that effective post-acute care requires a seamless extension of treatment, especially in behavioral health. Our collaboration with ReliefAI is a perfect example of synergy in action. By combining our robust care management framework with ReliefAI’s data-driven cognitive behavioral health app, we are creating a more intelligent, proactive, and unified system. This means better support for patients and more streamlined workflows for providers focused on relapse prevention.  The ReliefAI team has been great to work with in this collaboration.” – Shaji Skaria MD, EVP Clinical Solutions, VeeOne Health.
