At Charge Health, we help hospitals create a culture filled with meaningful connections, genuine appreciation, and joy. Our company has been built by a team of seriously amazing healthcare veterans - including key leadership team members from both CipherHealth (where I was a cofounder and CTO) and Narrative Dx (where Kyle Robertson was the founder and CEO). We are bound by a genuine understanding of just how critical the role of nursing is in our complex system and a profound appreciation for that difficult work.As COO, I get to do a lot of what I love - I'm found, with equal probability, pitching in on sprints with the dev team, finalizing designs for our decks, building out models/okrs for ops, running our financial model, and generally thinking about how to keep everyone running as fast as they can.

From the perspective of a five year old, English spelling is chaotic. After learning the sound of an O, an N, a C, and an E, the child opens a book and finds ONCE, not WUNS, upon a time. They find IS and not IZ, WAS and not WUZ. They see the C in SCHOOL, CHIN, CAR, RACE, CELLO and SPECIAL. This level of inconsistency of the letter-sound relationship is truly unique to English and presents a truly unique challenge for the inchoate reader (Share 2004). 97% of our words can’t be decoded with the simplest sounds we teach our kids. TinyIvy, an EdTech startup, has invented a solution to this fundamental problem: a series of diacritics that can be easily applied to text, enabling English to be decoded from left to right, without error or exception. This novel approach transforms English into a simpler, more transparent language and acts as a set of training wheels for children learning to read. The children in our poorest communities are typically black or Latinx, the schools they attend are less well funded, the community resources available are fewer, they are far more likely to suffer from economic or family instability and likely come from families who faced these exact same challenges in the previous generation. The painful paradox is that these are the exact children who must learn faster than their high performing peers if we are to close the Achievement Gap and reach high levels of reading proficiency. And yet, no research, pedagogy, curriculum, or program has proven a scalable, cost-effective solution to alter the trajectory of our nation's literacy. Forty-nine states show flat or declining reading scores between 2017 and 2019. Programs like Head Start have no significant effect on reading outcomes. Technology adoption has no significant effect on reading outcomes. $3.5B in School Improvement Grants were deployed in 2010 and had no significant impact on reading outcomes. It is time for something new. It's time to teach kids to read with TIPS™.
