Really excited to be on an @Advance_CTR design thinking webinar now w/ @AaronJHorowitz of @Sproutel. The applications to medical populations are endless. ❤️ the user-center focus. It’s easy to see the need for these approaches especially in these days of disconnection & disparity

Sproutel's work in understanding the impact of COVID-19 on well-being continued in the weeks after Thanksgiving, leading up to the holidays. We found sparks of hope as attitudes appear to be shifting toward a more candid conversation about mental health. linkedin.com/pulse/covid-hol…

"Through their own motions, kids can...understand there's things you can do to calm down and that you're a person who has the ability to manage yourself," says our VP of Innovation @miadoces in @usnews! @mypurrble @Sproutel usnews.com/news/health-news/…

Targeting KRAS in cancer has been a 40-year quest by scientists and researchers around the world, including Amgen’s own Rusty Lipford.
Rusty recently spoke with @aaronjhorowitz of @sproutel about the KRAS gene and how science is actually built upon 90% failure.

It was great talking to Rusty about his breakthrough work targeting KRAS in cancer. Fascinating to learn that drug discovery & research is all about failing forward, paralleling the design process!
Thank you @Amgen for the opportunity to share about our work at @Sproutel !

In my continued quest to help support my son w/#autism, I connected with @Sproutel regarding “My Purrble”. The #Purrble is a calming interactive toy to help kids calm down when they are upset. Stay tuned to see how my oldest responds when he’s having “big feelings” as we call it.
