Folx is the first digital healthcare company created specifically to meet the healthcare needs of queer and trans people . The US startup has affordable medical plans offering gender-affirming hormone therapy and sexual health services , among other types of healthcare . It operates a very different financial model to most US healthcare companies - cutting out insurers , it is VC-funded , with profits going towards paying the wages of its majority queer , trans , and nonbinary staff and re-investing in product and service development by and for these communities . Since launching in December 2020 , it has been steadily expanding its services and availability throughout the US .
Headspace is a science-backed online platform that specialises in mindfulness and meditation , with the aim of reducing stress , building resilience , and improving sleep . The tool is available as an app and is highly recommended by experts - NHS staff can access it for free . The company has also signed a deal with Netflix to produce a series on meditation .
