First, stop googling your symptoms! K is a new kind of healthcare app that gives everyone free, personalized health information based on the experiences of People Like You. It only takes a minute to check how people like you were diagnosed and treated by doctors when they were in your situation. Then you can make an informed decision about what to do next. Then, get a doctor’s opinion through the app. This isn’t your typical telemedicine visit. Share your K results with a board-certified doctor affiliated with K Health, who will pick up where K left off. You don’t have to repeat yourself, and you’ll have not only the doctor’s experience but also the experiences of People Like You to guide you both toward a truly personalized care plan you can trust. The doctor can diagnose, prescribe medication, and advise you within minutes. Our affiliated doctors are board-certified ER or primary care doctors, employed by or contracted with an affiliated physician-owned professional corporation.

Sanctuary Computer is not a traditional studio.  We work asynchronously with lots of focus time and without Slack. We use tools optimized for calm, thoughtful communication, and opt for async whenever possible. We fight hard to maintain our focus time.    We think of our garden3d as collective for creative people, prioritizing a happy, talented, and diverse studio culture. We work on projects that bring value to our world, and we balance deep care for the work we do with a genuine curiosity about life outside of our jobs.    At the end of the week, we turn our computers off at 40 hours (or 32 hours via our optional 4-day workweek). At the end of the month, we take Friday off, and some go surfing.
