    I interviewed with Headway. Fun fact: a bunch of their engineers are ex-Palantir and they use Foundry as part of their data platform.Don't trust these people with your mental health data.

    What exactly is the concern here by Headway? Are they afraid AI deep fakes will be receiving therapy?Obviously they are doing data collection and selling training data of emotional conversations to AI labs. But what's their stated justification? I can't figure it out.

    Isn't gov ID + selfie check the standard for a majority of online healthcare in the last few years?

    What if the organization who tries to verify sends a request on an app on the user’s iPhone (or whatever device can do the same), and the user scans their face with FaceID to produce a file send to the organization, which will then send that file to Apple to ask if the file represents the right person? I trust Apple so that works for me.
