Unlisted, a real estate technology company focused on the 98% of homes that aren’t for sale—yet, today announced its selection to TechCrunch’s 2025 Startup Battlefield 200, the highly competitive showcase of the world’s most promising early-stage companies.

Chosen from thousands of applicants across the globe, only 200 startups earned a place in this year’s cohort—recognized by TechCrunch as “THE cohort to watch.” Unlisted will be featured alongside other groundbreaking ventures at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 in San Francisco.

Most real estate companies showcase homes that are listed for sale, which typically represent approximately 2% of all homes. Unlike these traditional approaches and even unlike private-exclusive listings or “coming soon” listings, Unlisted is the first real estate platform to make every home discoverable regardless of its for-sale status. The platform empowers buyers and homeowners (and their agents) to connect with each other even when a home is not for sale. As a result, Unlisted surfaces interest, unlocks opportunities, and proactively sets the stage for future transactions. 

Backed by HearstLab, Hearst Newspapers, VC414, StageNext Fund, and prominent angel investors, Unlisted gives buyers a competitive edge in today’s challenging housing market. Buyers can find ideal properties that aren’t for sale, explore vastly expanded inventory, and signal interest early by joining Waitlists for their favorite homes. At the same time, homeowners, who are increasingly seeing their days on market tick up, gain a list of interested buyers and insight into how their property resonates, shedding new light on their real estate options before they decide to sell. Real estate professionals serve as local experts on Unlisted, standing by to provide market-specific support across Unlisted’s national footprint.

“Being named to Startup Battlefield 200 is both an honor and a powerful validation of the solution we’re building,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “Real estate has not meaningfully changed in decades. Who isn’t craving a better real estate experience? Unlisted is a $31 trillion real estate market-maker focused on the 98% of homes that aren't for sale—yet. We’re primed to increase information, remove friction, and create all-new opportunities for buyers, homeowners, agents, and more. We’re thrilled to bring our vision to the global stage at TechCrunch Disrupt.”

Startup Battlefield alumni include category-defining companies such as Dropbox, Mint, and Cloudflare. This year’s cohort continues the tradition of highlighting ventures with the potential to reshape industries.

About Unlisted

Unlisted unlocks the potential in homes that aren’t for sale—yet. The company empowers home buyers to join the Waitlist for homes they love that aren’t for sale—in other words, unlisted. At the same time, homeowners collect a Waitlist of interested buyers for whenever the time comes to sell, giving everyone a head start. Unlisted also allows homeowners to control how their home is presented online; they can create a stunning up-to-date property profile that shows off the home’s best features and attracts more interest. With more time and more connection, Unlisted is a more human way to explore real estate that drives better outcomes for all. For more information, visit UnlistedHomes.com.

In the global landscape of medical tourism, one country has emerged as an undisputed leader, blending world-class medical expertise with unparalleled hospitality: Turkey. And within the realm of aesthetic procedures, hair transplant in Turkey is its crown jewel. For millions of men and women worldwide, hair loss is more than a physical change; it's a gradual erosion of confidence. The search for a permanent, natural-looking solution has led them to the vibrant city of Istanbul, and more specifically, to the doors of Esteworld Health Group, a beacon of excellence in the field for over 31 years.

If you are considering a hair transplant, you’ve likely encountered the "Turkey option." But what does that journey truly entail? What sets one clinic apart from another? This comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process, focusing on why Esteworld has become the gold standard for hair transplant in Turkey, delving deep into the advanced technologies they employ, and outlining the seamless patient journey they have perfected.

Thanks to a network of representatives spanning 35 countries, thousands of international patients each year embark on a safer and more structured treatment process. Esteworld prioritizes patient satisfaction by developing a communication and service model tailored to each country's cultural landscape.

Why did open offices in 35 countries?

Esteworld always aims to make life easier for our patients. The primary goal of these international offices is to:

• Offer patients the opportunity to take their first steps in their own country.
• Provide pre-treatment counseling and information.
• Facilitate the preparation process for surgery.
• This ensures that patients don't just board a plane; they feel safe throughout the entire process.

Note, however, that pre- and post-operative checks are always carried out in the same country.

Why Turkey: The Esteworld advantage

The "why Turkey?" question is answered by a powerful combination of quality, technology, and affordability. The country is home to several major hospitals, surgeons with extensive experience across a wide range of procedures, and medical technology investments that rival, and often surpass, Western countries. This high standard comes at a fraction of the cost one might expect to pay in the US, UK, or Western Europe, making world-class results accessible.

Within this competitive landscape, Esteworld distinguishes itself not just as a clinic, but as a comprehensive health group guided by its founding motto: "Healthy Beauty." This philosophy permeates every aspect of their work. It means that an aesthetic outcome is never pursued at the expense of patient health and that the goal is always a natural, harmonious result that enhances the individual's unique features.

With over two decades of dedicated experience, Esteworld isn’t just following trends; they are often setting them. Their investment in the latest technology and continuous training for their medical teams ensures that every patient receives a procedure that is not only effective but also minimally invasive, with faster recovery times and superior results.

Decoding the technology: Sapphire FUE and DHI explained

Modern hair transplantation is a tale of artistry and precision. Gone are the days of unnatural-looking "hair plugs." Today, it's about transplanting individual follicular units (natural groupings of 1 to 4 hairs) from a donor area (typically the back of the head) to the balding areas. Esteworld excels in the two most advanced methods available today: Sapphire FUE and DHI.

1. Sapphire FUE: The pinnacle of precision

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the foundational modern technique where individual follicular units are extracted one by one using a micro-motor. Esteworld elevates this method with Sapphire FUE.

The key innovation lies in the tool used to create the recipient channels where the new hairs will be placed. Instead of traditional steel blades, the procedure is performed using blades made from pure, medical-grade sapphire. This isn't just a marketing gimmick; it is a significant technological leap with tangible benefits:

• Ultimate sharpness and precision: Sapphire blades are exceptionally sharp and smooth. They allow the surgeon to create finer, cleaner, and more precise micro-channels.
• Reduced tissue trauma: A sharper blade means less friction and trauma to the scalp tissue. This results in significantly less bleeding, scabbing, and a much faster, more comfortable healing process.
• Higher density: The V-shaped channels created by sapphire blades are smaller than the U-shaped channels from steel blades. This allows the surgeon to place the follicular units closer together, achieving a much higher and more natural-looking density.
• Better graft angle control: The precision of the sapphire blade gives the surgeon superior control over the angle and direction of each implanted graft. This is crucial for mimicking natural hair growth patterns and achieving an undetectable result.

In essence, Sapphire FUE is a refinement that turns a great technique into an exceptional one, prioritizing both the final aesthetic outcome and the patient's recovery experience.

2. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): The implanter pen technique

DHI represents a different, equally advanced methodology. In this technique, the extraction phase is similar to FUE, but the implantation phase is what sets it apart. The DHI method utilizes a specialized, pen-like instrument called a Choi Implanter Pen.

Here’s how it works: Each extracted graft is carefully loaded into the hollow needle of the Choi Pen. The surgeon then directly implants the graft into the scalp without needing to create a pre-made channel. The pen punctures the skin and deposits the follicle in one single, fluid motion.

The main advantages of the DHI technique are:

• Maximum graft survival: Because grafts are implanted moments after being extracted, the time they spend outside the body is minimized. This significantly increases their survival rate.

• No-shave procedures: DHI is the ideal method for patients who do not want to shave their entire head. The surgeon can work between existing hairs to increase density, making it a popular choice for women and for men who need to return to their professional lives quickly.

• Precise control: The Choi Pen gives the surgeon complete control over the depth, angle, and direction of every single hair follicle, contributing to a very natural-looking final result.

The choice between Sapphire FUE and DHI depends on the patient's specific pattern of hair loss, the desired density, and whether they wish to shave their head. The experts at Esteworld conduct a thorough analysis to recommend the technique that will yield the absolute best result for each individual.

The Esteworld patient journey: A seamless, all-inclusive experience

Understanding the technology is one thing; experiencing the process is another. Esteworld has meticulously designed its patient journey to be stress-free, comfortable, and transparent from start to finish.

• Step 1: Remote consultation: The journey begins from the comfort of your home. You’ll connect with an Esteworld patient coordinator, share photos of your hair, and have a detailed online consultation with a specialist. They will assess your donor area, discuss your goals, and provide a transparent, all-inclusive price quote.

• Step 2: Arrival in Istanbul: Upon landing in Istanbul, the VIP experience begins. An Esteworld driver will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your pre-booked 5-star hotel. A dedicated patient host, fluent in your language, is assigned to you and will be your point of contact throughout your stay, ensuring you feel supported and informed at all times.

• Step 3: In-clinic consultation and hairline design: On the day of your procedure, you will have an in-depth, face-to-face consultation with your surgeon. This is the most critical stage of planning. They will perform a final analysis of your hair and scalp. Then, collaboratively, you will design your new hairline. The surgeon’s artistry is key here; they design a natural, age-appropriate hairline that perfectly frames your face, avoiding the harsh, artificial lines that scream "hair transplant."

• Step 4: The procedure: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so it is virtually painless. You can relax, listen to music, or even watch a movie while the highly skilled medical team meticulously extracts and implants thousands of follicles over several hours.

• Step 5: Post-operative care and follow-up: The day after your procedure, you will return to the clinic for a check-up and the first professional hair wash. The team will provide you with a complete post-op care package, including special lotions, shampoos, and detailed instructions. But the care doesn't end when you fly home. Esteworld's team remains in contact, scheduling follow-up calls to track your progress and answer any questions you may have as your new hair begins to grow.

Esteworld opens London office!

Esteworld, which has been serving thousands of international patients for years in its modern clinics in Istanbul, is moving into the heart of Europe with its new office in London.

Why London?

London is one of the most active cities in health tourism, not only in the UK but also in Europe. Demand for cosmetic surgery, hair transplantation, and medical aesthetics services is constantly growing. Esteworld established its London office to meet this demand locally, be closer to patients, and expand its service quality throughout Europe.

The final result: More than just hair

The timeline for results is an important part of the journey. Patients will experience some initial shedding of the transplanted hairs (known as "shock loss"), which is a completely normal phase. The new, permanent hair begins to grow in earnest around the 3-4 month mark. The results become clearly visible by 6 to 8 months, with the final, full density and maturation of the hair achieved between 12 and 18 months.

Choosing Esteworld for a hair transplant is an investment in yourself. It’s a decision to entrust your appearance to a team that marries medical science with meticulous artistry. It is a journey that combines the excitement of visiting a beautiful city with the life-changing experience of regaining your hair and, most importantly, your confidence.

The Scientific Association for Botanical Education and Research (SABER) applauds recent legislative efforts by states, including Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, and Arkansas, to curb the sale of synthetic hemp-derived cannabinoids such as delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, THC-O, and HHC. These substances, while marketed as hemp-based, are typically produced through chemical conversion and pose significant risks to public health and regulatory integrity.

“We support the states that have taken a decisive step forward by recognizing that chemically synthesized cannabinoids present unique dangers when sold without oversight. SABER strongly supports this science-based approach and urges other states and federal regulators to follow suit,” said Dr. Thomas Brendler, Steering Committee Member at SABER and plant medicine scientist.

Public Health & Market Risks

Despite their “hemp-derived” label, most delta-8 and related products are not naturally extracted but chemically converted using solvents and acids. Without proper oversight, these methods leave behind potentially toxic byproducts.

Independent analyses and federal reports have revealed that many of these products:

• Exceed legal THC limits or contain undisclosed compounds.
• Are marketed to minors with candy-like packaging that lacks child-resistant safeguards.
• Contain residual solvents, heavy metals, and synthetic byproducts.

The FDA has logged hundreds of adverse events, including hospitalizations of children experiencing hallucinations, seizures, and loss of consciousness. 

Why Texas Matters

Texas has emerged as a key battleground state in shaping the national hemp economy, which analysts estimate could surpass $18 billion by 2030. The state’s actions to restrict synthetic cannabinoids signal a broader recognition: the unchecked gray market created by the 2018 Farm Bill loopholes threatens not only consumer safety but also legitimate agricultural and botanical industries.

Texas’s leadership underscores the need for a consistent, science-based federal framework. Without it, responsible businesses are forced to compete with unregulated operators selling unsafe products.

SABER’s Science-Based Framework for Regulation

SABER calls for a balanced approach that distinguishes between safe, natural hemp derivatives and risky synthetic products:

• Ban or strictly regulate chemically converted cannabinoids.
• Require GMP-compliant manufacturing.
• Mandate clear labeling, batch traceability, and child-resistant packaging.
• Invest in public education campaigns to ensure consumers understand the difference between botanical hemp and chemically synthesized compounds.
• Protect access to non-intoxicating, full-spectrum hemp products with transparent supply chains.

“Consumers deserve safe, clearly labeled, and honestly marketed botanical products, not a shadow market of chemically manipulated substances designed to skirt the law,” said Dr. Paula Brown, Steering Committee Member at SABER and Director of Natural Health & Food Products Research at the BC Institute of Technology.

About Scientific Association for Botanical Education and Research (SABER)

The Scientific Association for Botanical Education and Research (SABER) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing scientific understanding, regulation, and safe access to botanicals. Through research partnerships, policy advocacy, and public education, SABER works to ensure that natural products are studied responsibly, used safely, and regulated appropriately.​ To learn more, visit www.saberscience.org.

Lunarbits, a pioneering Bitcoin-built token creator fund, today announced its vision to transform parts of the Hollywood film and music industries by leveraging blockchain technology for financing, crowdfunding and fan engagement.

The project has already attracted collaborations with hundreds of Grammy-winning artists through Lunar Records, as well as creative ventures tied to the Stan Lee universe.

Unveiled at a private red carpet event on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025 at Creator Space, keynote speaker Dallas Santana — founder of Space Blue and Lunarbits innovator — announced a series of projects backed by the Bitcoin-powered fund. The event was co-hosted by Bee Davies of Hive Global Media and Brandi Veil of Yes3 Media. Special guests included Billboard-winning music executive Andrew Lane; Woodstock legend and Grammy-nominated artist Gerardo Velez; Brayden Pierce, the first DJ to place EDM on the moon; artist Brayden Bugazzi; and Remo Camerota, Val Kilmer’s former creative art director.

The initiative positions Lunarbits as a game-changer, offering Bitcoin rewards to creators and fans who participate in and promote projects, while also building an ecosystem for film and music funding, ticketing, merchandise, metaverse experiences and in-game collectibles — all powered by the Bitcoin network.

Lunarbits-backed projects originated from QR codes archived on metallic storage discs, along with the Bitcoin white paper and 222 art projects, encased in a lunar time capsule expected to last more than a billion years. These rare “Bitcoin twin-derived” assets are designed to drive unprecedented value for stakeholders. By integrating Bitcoin Runes technology, Lunarbits enables secure, decentralized payments and rewards for creators and fans.

Santana, who also curated the Lunaprise Museum — the world’s first museum archived on the moon on Feb. 22, 2024, via SpaceX Falcon 9 — highlighted two projects during the event:

• "Legion of 5," a Stan Lee–inspired franchise produced with Utah-based AdventFX Studios.
• "The 9th Raider," Santana’s post-apocalyptic film starring French crypto art collector and actor Cl7, slated for release in fall 2025. The project has already been inscribed as an art asset onto Bitcoin, surpassing $1.8 billion in market value on Gemini-owned platforms.

Santana recalled challenging a multibillion-dollar distribution company that had offered to shop the project to Netflix. He argued that “one second” of the movie, inscribed onto Bitcoin and Ethereum, could be worth more than top box office revenues or Netflix offers. The team took a single second from the film, divided it into 24 frames, refused to release them publicly and sent them to the moon. The lowest asking price for one of those frames as a crypto asset is currently $1.5 million, and the total market cap for the sequence has surpassed $1.8 billion on Gemini-owned platforms. Santana said he plans to apply the same approach with Lunarbits to bring the Stan Lee project directly to fans at the intersection of Bitcoin innovation, legalized under the current U.S. administration, and entertainment culture that drives mass adoption of new technologies.

“These projects mark a historic milestone as the first movie franchises to link film assets, characters and screenplays directly to the Bitcoin network through Runes technology,” Santana said. “By archiving them in a lunar time capsule, we’re not just preserving art — we’re creating immutable, high-value assets that fans can own, trade and engage with like never before.”

"Legion of 5" will debut through an immersive battle royale video game launching after December 2025, powered by Lunarbits Bitcoin Runes rewards. Players will earn tokens for in-game achievements, fostering deeper fan involvement.

Meanwhile, "The 9th Raider" has begun its rollout with a soundtrack produced by Andrew Lane and featuring 11 Grammy-winning icons, including Carlos Santana, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jefferson Starship and Bob Marley. This soundtrack, covered by Billboard and Rolling Stone, sets the stage for a release that integrates Lunarbits crowdfunding, merchandise and metaverse experiences.

In addition, Marshmello (aka Cryptopup) was announced as the first pet character archived as both a Bitcoin project and a lunar asset. That initiative reached a market cap of more than $1.5 billion across Bitcoin and Ethereum networks.

Through Lunarbits, fans become active participants — earning Bitcoin rewards for spreading the word, while using the platform as a gateway for tickets, merchandise, virtual experiences and collectibles tied to moon-archived assets. This model aims to disrupt traditional Hollywood financing by democratizing access, reducing intermediaries and amplifying value through scarcity and blockchain provenance.

About Lunarbits

Lunarbits is a Bitcoin token creator fund dedicated to bridging blockchain innovation with creative industries. By archiving projects on the moon and utilizing Bitcoin Runes, Lunarbits empowers filmmakers, musicians and fans to collaborate in a decentralized, rewarding ecosystem.

The clinic focuses on comprehensive reproductive health services and specialized procedures in genital aesthetics — most notably labiaplasty — while ensuring that every patient receives individualized care grounded in the latest clinical standards and aligned with applicable laws and ethical guidelines.

“Opening this clinic is about more than a new space,” said Dr. İrem Yengel. “It’s about creating a trusted setting where women and all people with gynecologic health needs can access accurate information, safe procedures, and non-judgmental support. Whether someone exploring options in genital aesthetics, or simply looking for a second opinion, we meet them with clarity, compassion, and clinical rigor.”

Genital aesthetics with a health-first philosophy

Beyond reproductive care, Dr. Yengel’s clinic offers a full spectrum of genital aesthetic services for individuals who seek functional relief, aesthetic refinement, or both. These procedures are approached through a health-first lens: the goal is to help patients feel comfortable in their bodies while safeguarding long-term pelvic, sexual, and urinary health. Consultations are collaborative and comprehensive, walking through anatomic variation, expected outcomes, and limitations so patients have realistic expectations. Non-surgical options are discussed whenever appropriate, and no one is rushed into a decision.

Labiaplasty: tailored techniques, thoughtful recovery

Labiaplasty is among the clinic’s most requested procedures. Indications vary: some patients experience chronic irritation from clothing or exercise; others seek symmetry, proportionality, or relief from functional discomfort. Dr. Yengel offers technique selection based on anatomy and goals, discussing approaches that can prioritize nerve preservation, vascular integrity, and tissue balance. Surgical planning includes preoperative photography for documentation, and individualized incision design to support a natural contour.

Recovery protocols are equally meticulous. Patients receive detailed guidance on hygiene, swelling management, activity restriction, and staged return to exercise and sexual activity. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and address questions, and the team provides tips for scar care and comfort during the initial weeks. As with all procedures, outcomes are discussed in terms of ranges rather than promises; revision pathways are explained openly should a patient desire additional refinement later.

Ethical guardrails and informed consent

In aesthetics and in reproductive care, ethics come first. The clinic’s consent process is designed to ensure that patients understand risks, benefits, alternatives, and likely results — free from pressure. Body diversity is affirmed and normalized; many patients ultimately choose not to proceed with surgery after learning more about natural anatomical variation, and that choice is fully supported. When needed, the clinic coordinates with mental-health professionals for decision support, especially in cases where expectations may be influenced by external pressures or misinformation.

A modern space engineered for comfort and quality

From air-filtered procedure suites and ultrasound-guided care to quiet recovery rooms and soft-lit consultation spaces, the clinic was designed for both safety and serenity. Equipment is maintained to hospital-grade standards, sterilization follows rigorous protocols, and the facility operates under continuous quality improvement with regular audits. Technology enables seamless, encrypted medical records and appointment reminders, while a multilingual front desk supports patients in Turkish and English.

The clinic’s scheduling model minimizes waiting room time — an important feature for those seeking discreet services. A dedicated patient liaison accompanies individuals from arrival to discharge, ensuring that every question is answered and that aftercare instructions are fully understood before leaving.

An experienced team and a culture of continuous learning

Dr. Yengel leads a carefully selected team of gynecology professionals, anesthesiology partners, and specialized nurses. Regular case conferences, morbidity-and-mortality reviews, and ongoing training keep the team aligned with emerging guidance and best practices. Where complex medical histories are involved, multidisciplinary collaboration ensures that perioperative planning is comprehensive — bringing in, for example, hematology or endocrinology colleagues when appropriate.

Access, affordability, and clear communication

To reduce barriers to care, the clinic offers transparent, written fee estimates before any procedure and provides receipts suitable for patients who wish to pursue reimbursement with their insurers. Pre-visit phone or video consultations are available for out-of-town patients who want to discuss suitability, timing, and recovery planning in advance. Written aftercare materials are provided in plain English and Turkish, minimizing medical jargon and highlighting “what to expect” in the first 72 hours and beyond.

Appointment availability is prioritized to support timely access, and the clinic coordinates closely with patients on transportation, support persons, and follow-up scheduling. For genital aesthetics and labiaplasty, the team assists with planning around work, school, holidays, or athletic commitments, offering practical guidance to reduce downtime while protecting safety.

Community education and myth-busting

Dr. Yengel and her team are committed to improving public understanding of reproductive health and genital anatomy. The clinic will host small-group information sessions and publish evidence-based articles that address common myths — for example, that labial size predicts sexual function (it doesn’t), or that recovery from aesthetic procedures must be extremely painful (with modern protocols, many patients report manageable discomfort). These educational efforts are designed to empower people to make informed, unpressured choices about their bodies and their health.

A message from Dr. İrem Yengel

“Our promise is simple: evidence-based medicine, delivered with empathy,” Dr. Yengel said. “We never confuse marketing with medicine. We provide realistic expectations, we follow the science, and we protect our patients’ dignity every step of the way. If you are considering genital aesthetics or labiaplasty, you deserve a full and honest conversation about whether a procedure is right for you — and if it is, a carefully tailored plan and attentive follow-up.”

How to book

The clinic is now accepting appointments for consultations and procedures. Prospective patients can schedule a confidential visit by phone or online. Same-week slots are reserved for time-sensitive needs. To prepare for your appointment, you’ll receive a concise checklist covering medications, allergies, prior surgeries, and any questions you’d like to discuss—so your time with the clinician is focused and productive.

Amidst the AMA (American Medical Association) report on persistent physician burnout of about 45% of doctors nationwide and increasing concerns regarding depersonalized patient care, a veteran cardiologist introduces a solution from an unlikely source: storytelling.

Dr. Aaron J. Feingold's book, "Tales of a Cardiologist," now available on Amazon, takes four decades of firsthand patient interaction and transforms them into shared stories that bridge the increasing gap between medical science and mankind.

Timing could not be more critical. In recent studies, depersonalization — the feeling of detachment that doctors experience from their patients — remains the core component of professional burnout, while narrative medicine is a low-cost intervention with potential to counteract it and improve both clinician well-being and patient outcomes.

From Pocket Notes to Published Work

"Tales of a Cardiologist" emerged from Dr. Feingold's eccentric habit of jotting down patient remarks on scraps of paper throughout his 43-year career. Those moments — capturing death anxieties, flashes of humor, and profound questions posed in examination rooms — totaled around 800 scribbled papers, and roughly 99 of them now form the heart of the book.

"I found that a lot of what occurred to patients in the exam room is applicable everywhere," explains Dr. Feingold, President of Raritan Bay Cardiology and Chairman of JFK Hackensack Meridian University Hospital's Division of Cardiology. "These tales serve other patients, help me understand them better, and help me understand myself."

The book breaks new ground by conceptualizing medical interactions as literature, rather than clinical case reports. Published under the auspices of Dr. Feingold's own Bashevis Press, named after Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer, the book demonstrates physician-narrative therapy as well as education.

Outside Clinical Protocols: Stories That Heal

Unlike traditional medical literature on procedures and protocols, "Tales of a Cardiologist" reveals the emotional side of medicine via patient anecdotes. 

The book addresses mortality, hope, resiliency, and humor — suggesting that healing is much more than diagnostic accuracy but encompasses genuine human compassion.

In “The Last Barber Visit,” a seemingly routine grooming appointment becomes a quiet reflection on dignity, aging, and the unspoken rituals that mark a life’s closing chapters; one of many stories in the book that illuminate how deeply personal medicine can be.

For burned-out professionals, the book offers a template for regaining meaning in patient care. For patients, the stories give them reassurance that their anxiety and response to sickness are normal human reactions and not individual weaknesses.

"These human universals — fear, vulnerability, hope, and resilience — are present in every medical specialty," says Dr. Feingold. "The lessons apply across disciplines to healthcare providers."

A Physician's Dual Legacy

Dr. Feingold brings unique credentials to medical storytelling. Besides his role as Assistant Professor of Medicine at HMH Medical School, there is an Aaron J. Feingold Cardiac Cath Suite named in his honor in recognition of decades of cardiovascular distinction.

His writing style combines literary sensibility, honed from F. Scott Fitzgerald and Isaac Bashevis Singer, with deep clinical experience that spans cardiology's evolution from morphine-and-nitroglycerin therapy to today's sophisticated interventional procedures.

His commitment to the human side of medicine extends beyond the book. Dr. Feingold established an endowed fellowship in medical humanities at Union College, reflecting his belief that future physicians must master both scientific knowledge and narrative understanding in patient care.

Available Now: A New Genre of Modern Medicine

"Tales of a Cardiologist" comes at a time of need when medicine is seeking an answer to both patient dissatisfaction and doctor burnout.

Top New Release on Amazon in three categories, the book establishes the precedent for what Dr. Feingold envisions as a new genre of medical literature — one that is scientifically valid and honestly spoken.

The book demonstrates that the key to curing, beyond diagnostic precision, is understanding patients' emotional concerns. To readers who desire real insight into the physician-patient relationship, the book offers four decades of finely observed moments that illuminate the rich connections possible in medical practice.

With the audiobook edition set to release in September, Dr. Feingold hopes the stories will continue to reach both providers and patients in a more accessible and reflective format.

The Wyatt Foundation and The Conceive Fertility Foundation announce the opening of the Fall 2025 IVF grant program, which will award $15,000 grants to five individuals/couples who need in vitro fertilization (IVF) to build their families.  

The program, which is now accepting applications, aims to raise awareness of infertility, offset treatment costs for patients who face financial barriers to care, and support research for more affordable fertility care options.

In addition to a $15,000 IVF grant, CooperSurgical, a leader in the fertility and women's health fields for nearly 35 years, is offering each grant recipient an additional $1,000 to be used towards preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). PGT is a technique used to identify genetic abnormalities in embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) before pregnancy.

The nonprofit arm of Inception Fertility, the largest provider of fertility services in North America, the Wyatt Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their dream of building a family through assisted reproductive technology (ART). The organization was started by TJ Farnsworth, the founder and CEO of Inception Fertility, and his wife Margaret Farnsworth, who successfully conceived their first child, Wyatt, through IVF.

The Conceive Fertility Foundation is the nonprofit arm of Caden Lane, a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand of baby products focused on the birth of a child. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Conceive Fertility Foundation aims to support patients who have been impacted by the struggle of infertility through education and grants. Katy Mimari, CEO of Caden Lane, launched The Conceive Fertility Foundation after her own experience with infertility and understanding the financial barriers that prevent some aspiring parents from building their families. A percentage of Caden Lane's profits go to The Conceive Fertility Foundation.    

"We are incredibly proud to partner with the Wyatt Foundation to raise awareness about the financial challenges of fertility care and help more people overcome the barriers that prevent them from accessing the high-quality treatment they need," says Katy Mimari, CEO of Caden Lane and The Conceive Fertility Foundation. "We walk alongside every individual who has experienced the pain of infertility and continue to support those who haven't lost hope in building their families."    

Each grant covers approximately the cost of one IVF cycle, excluding fees for medications or other services, with an additional $1,000 towards PGT with ICSI. Grant recipients can go to a clinic of their choosing, but those seeking care at a clinic within The Prelude Network (Prelude) will receive a 10% discount on their fertility services, which can be used towards medication or other costs.    

Beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025, through Monday, November 3, 2025, those interested are encouraged to apply for a grant by visiting yourivfgrant.com, where they can learn more about the application process and requirements. To be considered for a grant, applicants must meet specific criteria, including showing financial need and providing a formal infertility diagnosis. Grant recipients will be announced on Monday, December 15, 2025.

About The Wyatt Foundation   

The Wyatt Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their dream of building a family through assisted reproductive technology (ART) by reducing the financial barriers to IVF through scholarships awarded based on financial need and clinical factors determining potential success. The foundation has two main goals: to provide financial assistance to individuals and couples who cannot afford fertility treatments and to fund research in the field of infertility.   

The organization was started by TJ Farnsworth, the founder and CEO of Inception Fertility, and his wife Margaret who successfully conceived their first child through IVF. Upon the birth of their son Wyatt, TJ reflected back on his family's experience as patients. He realized that many aspiring parents were carrying the same emotional burden that he and his wife had—and that few fertility clinics took a holistic approach to consider the physical, psychological, financial and mental aspects of infertility.

Everstar today announced the launch of Gordian Research, a platform that allows engineers to engineer, while Everstar nukes their paperwork. Gordian integrates and understands nuclear knowledge from public and private documents, securely and without leaking any customer data to model training. It is already in use with customers across the operating reactor, new reactor, and radioactive materials industries.

Gordian Research sets a new standard for AI acceleration in the safety-focused world of nuclear energy. Built by a world-class team of nuclear and AI experts from Google, Microsoft, SpaceX, Tesla, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the CIA, Gordian expertly organizes complex nuclear information and slashes document-heavy workflows by 80% or more. It’s outperforming the biggest AI competitors on nuclear-specific research outcomes, and industry insiders are reaping its benefits.

“This is why I built Everstar,” said founder and CEO Kevin Kong. “We understand frontier AI and the nuclear industry’s problems deeply. Our team has been in those trenches. And now we’re here to fundamentally change how nuclear teams operate and help unleash nuclear power as an abundant energy source.”

What is Gordian Research?

Gordian Research includes:

• Nuclear smart chat: Rapid, thoughtful, and sources-cited answers to the hardest questions, like the mentor you wish didn’t retire.
• Curated knowledge bases: Direct conversations with collections of documents, from operating experience databases to plant licensing history.
• Precedent search: Search through decades of regulatory history to associate full chains of licensing back-and-forth and learn what yields approvals fastest.

Why use Gordian?

Everstar benchmarked Gordian against Anthropic, Google and OpenAI’s most popular models. Gordian beat all three on correctness, groundedness, relevance, and retrieval. Its nuclear-native expertise delivered especially high scores in relevance for complex queries.

Customers are choosing Gordian because of its:

• Understanding: Keyword searches miss industry-specific nuance. Gordian recognizes the relationships between concepts the way experts do, delivering answers that other tools overlook.
• Accuracy: Gordian integrates the latest information as it is generated by regulators, utilities, and clients. No models need to be trained and re-trained, and sources are cited based on the retrieved references.
• Security: Users can trust Everstar with their documents, knowing they stay within architecture designed for SOC 2, FEDRAMP, and export controls. This information is then used seamlessly for search, chat, and document drafting. No customer data is used to train models.

How can customers unlock more value?

Customers are seeing broader business impact by partnering with Everstar on the next level of AI integration. Examples include:

• Determining whether regulatory approvals are needed: End-to-end screening, evaluation, and output of internal and public-facing documentation, turning weeks of team members’ effort into minutes.
• License amendment requests: Gordian’s strengths truly shine in researching regulatory precedent, then using it to generate hundreds of pages of accurate content for even the most complex applications like license renewal, cutting drafting time by 80%.
• Reactor construction: Gordian speaks “new reactor” too, and can develop environmental and safety documentation in a fraction of the human time, driving the rapid deployment today’s energy crisis demands.

What’s next?

Gordian’s next capabilities include vision models that analyze complex schematics to support engineering analyses and root-cause evaluations, equipping teams not just to respond faster, but to anticipate challenges before they arise. These next‑generation features are already in pilot testing, with partners shaping the future of nuclear deployment alongside Everstar.

Graphixa™, the world’s only subscription agency offering unlimited design, web development, and hosting under one plan, announced that it will officially launch on Oct. 1, 2025, redefining how businesses access affordable creative and web services.

Unlike traditional agencies with high retainers and slow turnaround times, Graphixa offers an all-in-one subscription model for a single flat monthly fee. This streamlined approach helps businesses cut costs, boost conversions, and keep their brands evolving without friction.

“Agencies overpromise, freelancers miss deadlines, and hiring in-house drains budgets. We built Graphixa to end that cycle,” said Noor Alvi, founder of Graphixa. “One flat subscription replaces the downsides of hiring and managing multiple vendors.”

Graphixa’s service is designed with simplicity and scalability in mind. Clients can submit unlimited requests through their dedicated Trello board and expect rapid turnarounds for design and website requests. By combining creative expertise with a transparent pricing structure, Graphixa aims to become the go-to creative engine for startups and entrepreneurs worldwide.

The launch on Oct. 1 marks the company’s official entry into the market, following months of preparation and early feedback from pilot users. “We’ve tested and refined our process with real businesses through a '1 design request for $7' trial system to ensure that Graphixa produces design that drives results,” Noor added. Early users are already seeing increased engagement, conversions, and reduced creative costs by over 60%.

The pricing speaks for itself: A traditional creative + web stack costs $15,660 to more than $18,000 per month for businesses. That means paying for a senior designer, web developer, hosting, domains, SSL, maintenance, project management tools, and stock assets — just to stay afloat. Graphixa flips the model: Everything you need, bundled into one simple subscription. Four tiers. One flat rate. From $999 to $3,999 per month.

For more information, visit graphixa.net or contact the team at hello@graphixa.net.

Have you ever imagined receiving a call from your beloved pet while working late at night or on a business trip abroad — and being able to instantly respond with your voice or play music to convey your love? This is no longer a sci-fi fantasy. It’s now a reality.

GlocalMe, a leading global mobile connectivity brand of uCloudlink Group (NASDAQ:UCL), hosted the launch event for the PetPhone, the innovative smartphone for pets, at The Mills, a renowned art, cultural, and pet-friendly landmark in Hong Kong. Representatives from CSL Mobile Limited, a mobile communications brand under parent company Hong Kong Telecom (HKT), were also in attendance. The event successfully demonstrated the integration of technological innovation and pet care, allowing attendees to personally experience the future of smart pet connectivity.

Representatives from uCloudlink Group and CSL jointly inaugurated the product sales launch.

The event specially invited renowned Hong Kong actress and brand guest Priscilla Wong, industry guests, local pet community Pet-A-Hood, and popular local pet influencers.

In a pet tech market dominated by location and monitoring devices, PetPhone stands out as the world’s innovative smart device enabling real-time two-way call and care in anywhere, between pets and owners. It breaks through the limitations of traditional wearables, leading the way into a new era of emotional communication between owners and their pets.

Unlike products focused solely on outdoor tracking or static health monitoring, PetPhone transcends scenario restrictions. It delivers stable positioning and instant two-way calling even in high-mobility situations like walks, travel, and outings. Leveraging its six-layered accurate positioning and AI behavior recognition technology, it maintains high-precision tracking of moving pets and even allows them to actively call their owners through task-specific actions — achieving true real-time two-way voice calling.

Particularly noteworthy is that while AI-powered human-pet interaction in the industry remains largely conceptual or rudimentary, GlocalMe has already made it a reality. PetPhone not only hears pets’ sounds but also responds to them. With its built-in global mobile communication module, it enables genuine interactive calls between pets and owners. This breakthrough marks the world’s first entry into a true era of vocal connection between human and pets. Coupled with its stream soothing music function, PetPhone lays the foundation for transitioning pet tech from functional devices to emotional companions. Its launch signals a new era in pet technology—from mere "guardianship" to "mobile companionship and communication."

At the event, renowned actress and special guest Priscilla Wong shared her experience using PetPhone: "Now, when I travel or am away from my dog, I use PetPhone’s two-way calling function to comfort him. It helps him relax, and I can use health data to check if his anxiety levels are too high. This warm, black-tech experience makes me understand that true companionship means providing a sense of security even when you’re not physically present."

A live interaction session by a dog trainer allowed guests to witness a dog initiating a call firsthand, experiencing the power of connection through barks.

The atmosphere was electric, with a long queue of pet owners actively inquiring about the product's features and completing on-site registration, eager to embark on a new era of tech-enabled pet parenting.

A Revolutionary Technological Leap: Redefining Two-Way Human-Pet Relationships

Powered by GlocalMe’s globally leading mobile connectivity and digital technology, PetPhone introduces new scenarios for emotional connection. When owners are away for extended periods, pets can initiate calls through trained actions, reducing loneliness and anxiety for pets home alone. Owners can not only directly communicate affection through voice calls but also send calming sounds via the app — such as playing a familiar nickname or pre-recorded soft music — all helping to ease pets’ stress or anxiety. This mutually interactive design shatters the cold, one-sided monitoring model of traditional devices, allowing love and reassurance to be transmitted instantly.

AI Wellness Breaks Through Health Monitoring Barriers

PetPhone provides scientific, visible health guardianship through real-time activity tracking and behavioral trend analysis, solving the challenge of monitoring pets who "can’t speak." Using high-precision motion sensors, it can monitor and analyze pet activity, while forming a habit pattern to help owners predict obesity or emotional/depression issues caused by separation or loneliness. This ensures that even health impacts caused by emotional stress receive timely attention and care.

PetPhone also helps owners understand their pets’ social lives, ensuring love is always present and opening new frontiers in social ecosystems. Through its family-sharing community, owners can define playmates (like a neighbor’s corgi named Pudding) in the app. The uninterrupted six-layer accurate positioning technology and AI wellness monitoring system record their movement trajectories and proximity during interactions in real time. This allows owners to gain data-driven insights into their pets' lifestyles, making new pet-to-pet relationships perceivable.

The development of the global pet community meets pet owners’ need for social companionship. It connects through shared moments, and grow with unwavering support — in a community fueled by pet passion. This pet-as-a-bridge social ecosystem allows tech products to connect not only humans and pets but also like-minded pet communities. PetPhone also invites all Hong Kong pet lovers to join this community, creating their own local pet culture and sharing it with the world.

When Love Becomes a Necessity: Breaking the Boundaries of Pet Tech

In recent years, the global pet industry has continued to expand, with increasing pet ownership rates. Pets are now regarded as important family members, leading to significantly upgraded demands for emotional interaction, safety assurance, and health management.

However, the issue of lost pets remains unresolved globally, characterized by high incidence and low recovery rates. On average, one out of every 6 to 7 pets goes missing (14% of dogs and 15% of cats), and 60% of lost pets are never reunited with their owners.

To address the common risk of pets getting lost in urban settings, PetPhone incorporates uninterrupted six-layer accurate positioning technology to accurately locate pets, achieving evolved omnidirectional protection. It maintains high-precision tracking even when pets are on the move. When curiosity leads them off-trail, or they dash outdoors unseen — pinpoint tracking and geofence alerts, bring them safely back where they belong. Combined with the device’s call, voice message, or built-in micro buzzer features, owners can remotely remind their pets to return to safety. This predictive protection mechanism offers owners peace of mind, ensuring their pets’ safety.

Style Meets Comfort: Wearable Love, Silent and Strong

PetPhone can be paired with trendy pet outfits and offers diverse wearing options for improved pet comfort. Its IP67 waterproof rating handles splashes, rain, and outdoor adventures. The magnetic charging interface eliminates plugging woes — simply detach and touch to charge—solving traditional issues like dust accumulation and water ingress in charging ports.

The pet hardware market opportunity and iterative AI technology are driving the development of more advanced pet tech products. However, because pets embody growing emotional attachment, success lies not in technical specifications alone but in heartfelt design. PetPhone is designed for pets to live healthy, happy lives. It is a black-tech product enabling two-way emotional communication, a durable and anxiety-alleviating guardian equipped with safety positioning technology that turns separation into a secure connection.

As Jeff Chen, co-founder and CEO of uCloudlink Group, stated, "The original intent behind developing PetPhone was to bridge the digital gap between humans and pets, making technology a true bridge for emotions. We want pets not only to be seen but also to be heard and understood."

Amid a shifting global economy, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) continues to provide a vital gateway for global enterprises. With preparations for the 8th CIIE well underway, the expo is set to once again showcase innovation, foster cooperation, and expand access to the Chinese dynamic market.

Leveraging the vital platform for global enterprises to access the Chinese massive market, many exhibitors have grown from participants into investors, while numerous exhibits have been transformed into marketable goods. Novartis, for instance, debuted Radioligand Therapy (RLT) at the 4th CIIE. Benefiting from CIIE’s spillover effect, it signed strategic pacts with three Chinese partners — GE Healthcare China, Shanghai Pharmaceutical Holding and Chongqing Pharmaceutical Holding — at the 7th CIIE to speed up RLT’s launch and expansion in China.

At the supply-demand matchmaking event of the 8th CIIE, companies showcased 22 “CIIE Babies” — products that have successfully entered the market after their debut at previous expos, including two making their first post-launch appearance, underscoring the CIIE’s role in turning exhibits into goods. Medical innovations have also gained ground in China. Novartis built on its RLT debut last year by partnering with GE Healthcare China and others to create an RLT ecosystem. Meanwhile, Boston Scientific saw several products move from expo floor to market after the 7th CIIE. Johnson & Johnson, expanding its booth to 700 square meters this year, will feature the MONARCH surgical robot and the lung cancer therapy Rukobia®.

In parallel with the 8th CIIE, this year's Hongqiao International Economic Forum (HQF) unveiled its theme “Opening Up for New Opportunities, Collaborating for a Shared Future.” As a premier platform for global economic dialogue, the 8th HQF will feature more than 20 sessions on opening up for cooperation, innovation, development and sharing. Preparations are in full swing, with active participation from international bodies like UNICEF and UNIDO, alongside government officials and industry leaders. The release of the "World Openness Report 2025" will be a spotlight of the 8th HQF, underscoring its role as a key platform for global dialogue and collaboration.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of this global event. The 8th CIIE offers unparalleled opportunities for businesses to connect, innovate, and grow. Visit www.ciie.org/zbh/en/ for the latest updates and participation details.

In an exclusive interview with The European’s Juliette Foster, Curium Group CEO Renaud Dehareng outlines his plan to treat up to 80% of cancers within the next few decades, explains how theranostics is reshaping oncology, and shares why the Boston-based company is now ready to step into the global spotlight

Curium Group has set one of the most ambitious goals in modern oncology: to treat up to 80% of cancers within the next 10 to 15 years.

In an exclusive interview with The European, its CEO Renaud Dehareng said the target reflects both confidence in the company’s science and a determination to change the way cancer is treated worldwide.

Until now, Curium’s name has been largely unknown outside specialist medical circles. Founded in 2017 but built on decades of expertise, the company operates across 70 countries, treating around 35,000 patients a day.

Its end-to-end “proton to patient” model spans isotope production, tracer development, manufacturing, logistics and patient-ready therapies — a level of integration rare in the field.

Dehareng explains how Curium is using theranostics, which combines diagnosis and treatment in one targeted process, to change the way cancer is fought. Specialised tracers bind only to cancer cells, carrying radioactive isotopes that destroy tumours from within while sparing healthy tissue.

The approach has already improved outcomes for patients with neuroendocrine tumours and advanced prostate cancer.

Kidney and pancreatic cancer therapies are now in development, chosen because the company’s tracers work effectively against them. “It’s about scientific viability, not market size,” Dehareng told us.

Boston, home to Curium’s global headquarters, offers proximity to the world’s largest radioligand therapy market and leading research institutions including Harvard and MIT.

Industry forecasts suggest nuclear medicine could grow from $5 billion to over $35 billion by 2033, and Dehareng believes that is just the beginning.

“Cancer doesn’t care who it attacks,” he says. “Our technology can find and kill it, even when it has spread to the smallest corners of the body. That’s why we believe it will become one of the dominant treatments for decades to come.”

Curium was the cover story of The European’s summer edition. You can read the full feature, "The Nuclear Medicine Breakthrough Transforming Cancer Care," here.

Watch the full conversation with Curium Group CEO Renaud Dehareng on The European’s YouTube channel.

FanCode, India's premier digital sports destination, has partnered with Visionular to transform how hundreds of millions of sports fans experience video-on-demand (VOD) content.

Key Highlights

• Nearly 40% reduction in data usage while delivering better picture quality
• Fans now watch 1080p content using the same bandwidth previously required for 720p
• AI-powered, standard-aligned encoding optimized specifically for fast-motion sports content
• Cloud-native platform integrates seamlessly with existing workflows without disruption
• Longer watch times for viewers on limited data plans across India

The collaboration leverages Visionular's AI-powered video encoding technology to deliver significantly better picture quality while reducing data consumption by up to 40%, a game-changer for India's mobile-first sports audience.

Addressing India's Unique Streaming Challenges

FanCode serves over 160 million sports enthusiasts across India, where network conditions vary dramatically and data costs remain a primary concern for viewers. The platform is home to multiple sports, including Formula 1, cricket, football, golf, requiring crystal-clear video quality for fast-motion sports content while accommodating users on limited data plans.

"Traditional encoding simply wasn't cutting it for our audience," explains FanCode. "Indian sports fans are passionate, but they're also practical about data usage. We needed a solution that could deliver broadcast-quality video without burning through their monthly data allowance."

The Technology Behind Better Sports Streaming

Visionular's AuroraCloud platform combines standards-compliant AI-driven encoding with cloud-native scalability, analyzing each frame of sports content in real-time while maintaining full compatibility with existing video workflows.

This standards-aligned approach applies intelligent compression that preserves critical visual details — the spin of a cricket ball, the precise moment of a goal, the intensity of a Formula 1 overtake — without requiring any changes to FanCode's existing infrastructure.

The AuroraCloud deployment has enabled FanCode to achieve remarkable results: audiences who previously watched in 720p can now enjoy 1080p quality using the same bandwidth. With 30–40% bitrate reduction, viewers with limited data plans can watch significantly longer, leading to increased engagement and, ultimately, more advertising revenue opportunities for FanCode.

Real Impact for Sports Fans

The partnership addresses a fundamental challenge in video-on-demand sports streaming: delivering the visual clarity that fast-action content demands while respecting the data constraints of everyday users. Whether it's the precise camera work during a cricket boundary or the high-speed action of motorsports highlights, fans now get the full experience without compromise.

"We've seen our viewers' watch times increase substantially since implementing Visionular's technology. Fans are getting the quality they expect from premium sports content, but they're not worrying about their data plans anymore. That's exactly what we wanted to achieve," said Amit Mirchandani, CTO of FanCode.

"Sports content is among the hardest to compress. You can't afford to lose detail in those defining moments that fans live for. Our standards-compliant AuroraCloud platform ensures full compatibility with existing workflows while delivering superior compression," said Zoe Liu, CEO of Visionular. "FanCode deployed our cloud solution seamlessly without disrupting their operations, proving that advanced AI encoding and cloud scalability can work within any standard tech stack."

Setting New Standards for Sports Streaming

This partnership represents more than a technology upgrade, it demonstrates how cloud-native, standards-compliant solutions can harness advanced AI technologies to serve diverse audiences without sacrificing quality or accessibility.

As FanCode continues expanding its sports portfolio and reaching new markets across India, Visionular's AuroraCloud platform provides the foundation for delivering exceptional viewing experiences regardless of network conditions or device capabilities.

Together, FanCode and Visionular are redefining what's possible in sports streaming, proving that cutting-edge technology and fan-first thinking can create solutions that work for everyone, from the cricket-obsessed viewer in Mumbai on a high-speed WiFi to the Formula 1 fan in Chennai on 4G.

Monitoring your financial health is essential for making informed decisions and achieving long-term stability. While income and savings matter, they provide only part of the picture. A comprehensive evaluation examines measurable indicators that reveal how effectively you manage resources, control debt, and prepare for the future. These metrics are not just numbers; they are tools for guiding your decisions and identifying areas that need improvement.

Regularly reviewing them enables you to identify trends, address issues promptly, and implement changes that strengthen your position over time. By tracking multiple areas, from debt to liquidity, you can create a balanced view that supports smarter choices today and helps you build a secure financial future.

Measure Net Worth Progress

Your net worth shows the difference between what you own and what you owe. List assets like cash, investments, and property. List liabilities like mortgages, student loans, and card balances. Subtract liabilities from assets to get the number. Track it quarterly to avoid chasing market noise.

An increasing net worth reflects stronger financial health and greater flexibility, while a decline signals the need to review spending habits and debt strategies. Build assets through consistent contributions and smart allocation, and reduce expensive balances with a manageable, long-term repayment plan.

Include retirement accounts and equity values at reasonable estimates. Use conservative values for assets that fluctuate in price. Record each debt’s rate alongside its balance for clarity. That detail helps guide faster repayment decisions and smarter prioritization. Keeping your data current and organized strengthens your financial health.

Track Debt-to-Income Ratio

The debt-to-income ratio compares monthly debt to gross monthly income. It offers a clear snapshot of how well your earnings balance against repayment obligations, making it a vital number for lenders and for your own financial planning.

Understanding the debt-to-income ratio formula makes tracking progress much easier. Start by listing every required monthly payment, then divide that total by gross monthly income and express it as a percent. Keep the result low to support financial health and easier approvals.

Target a ratio below thirty six percent for added flexibility, and adjust your borrowing or repayment strategy if the figure begins to rise.

Build Adequate Emergency Savings

An emergency fund protects progress when life brings surprise costs. Save a base target of three to six months of core expenses. Begin with one month if resources are tight today. Add small, automatic transfers after each paycheck.

Store the money in a high-yield savings account for quick access. Check your financial health monthly, and raise the target during uncertain periods. Use the fund only for true emergencies, then refill it quickly. This safety buffer reduces strain on the budget during shocks.

Keep a checklist of events that qualify so the rules stay consistent. Set a separate account nickname to avoid confusion with daily spending. Round up transfers to build momentum without strain.

Optimize Savings and Investing

Your savings rate shapes future independence and choice. Fidelity Investments advises “Aim to save at least 15 percent of your income annually for retirement.” That figure includes any employer match on retirement plans.

Increasing Your Savings Rate Over Time

Increase the rate when raises arrive or debt drops. Use tax-advantaged accounts to improve after-tax results over time. Measure progress with a growth target that matches your personal timeline. Direct a portion of every raise into long-term accounts first.

Building and Maintaining a Diversified Portfolio

Keep investments broadly diversified to smooth returns across many markets. Rebalance on a set date rather than chasing headlines. Choose low-cost funds to keep more of every earned dollar. Consider a broad market index for the core of the portfolio. Clear written rules reduce second-guessing during market swings.

Evaluate Credit and Expenses

A strong credit score lowers borrowing costs and expands options. Experian notes “The average FICO Score in the United States was 715 in 2024.” Use that as a reference point, not a finish line.

Pay on time, keep utilization low, and review reports often. Dispute errors quickly to protect financial health and access.

When reviewing your expense-to-income ratio, aim to keep fixed costs near half of gross income. Consider these actionable steps:

• Pay bills before the due date each month,
• Keep credit utilization under 30 percent,
• Review subscriptions and cancel unused ones,
• Compare insurance quotes annually

By building healthy habits and staying proactive, you can strengthen your financial foundation and keep more options open for the future.

Test Liquidity and Flexibility

Your liquidity ratio shows how well you can handle short-term needs. Divide liquid assets by current bills due within one year. A result above one suggests solid near-term coverage. A result below one signals pressure and calls for action.

Build liquidity by growing cash reserves and reducing short-term balances. Consider a small safety line of credit only as a last resort. Review this metric during tax season and midyear. Strong liquidity strengthens overall financial health during uncertain periods.

Align Metrics With Realistic Milestones

Metrics guide better choices when anchored to clear milestones. Set a target for net worth growth each year. Choose a debt-to-income range that supports your goals.

Define an emergency fund level that matches your job stability. Pick a savings rate that reaches your retirement income needs.

Place those markers on a single sheet for monthly review. Add brief notes on actions taken during the month. Keep each note specific and achievable within seven days.

Turn Your Numbers Into Next Steps

Numbers matter only when they inform action plans that you will follow. Build a simple dashboard with net worth and debt-to-income. Add savings rate, credit score, and liquidity ratio. Add your emergency fund balance and monthly expense share for context.

Update the dashboard on the first weekend of each month. Color code results for quick review and motivation. Tie each flag to one clear step you can finish this week. Small moves compound into strong financial health and durable progress.
