Ksana Health and Children's Wisconsin aim to improve paediatric mental health care
US-based digital mental health solution provider Ksana Health has partnered with Children's Wisconsin, a paediatric healthcare provider in Wisconsin, with the aim to improve the delivery of children's mental health care. The collaboration introduces Vira, a digital behavioural health care platform developed by Ksana Health using the Pediatric Primary Care Integrated Behavioral Health model. Vira uses artificial intelligence to support evidence-based therapeutic principles and includes smart automations to enhance clinical workflows. This aims to reduce the burden on healthcare providers and offer tailored mobile interventions to support children and their families' health. Children's Wisconsin Mental and Behavioral Health Research director Dr Michael Gaffrey said: "We see enormous potential in digital mental health tools to empower clinicians and families with continuous, data-driven behavioural support. "This collaboration marks a significant step forward in realising a sustainable, effective integration of mental health services within paediatric primary care." Ksana Health and Children's Wisconsin said the partnership underscores their focus on enhancing paediatric behavioural healthcare. The partners aim to emphasise accessibility, adherence to evidence-based practice, and the long-term sustainability of integrated mental health care. Ksana Health CEO Dr Nick Allen said: "Our goal is to revolutionise paediatric behavioural health by making effective, personalised interventions accessible precisely when youth and families need them. "Together, we're committed to addressing the mental health crisis facing today's youth with practical, scalable solutions that work." In paediatric primary care settings, where 90% of children are seen each year, there are significant opportunities for early identification and treatment of mental health issues. Despite this, many children with mental and behavioural health disorders do not receive the care they need. Addressing this gap has become a system-wide priority for Children's Wisconsin. The health system operates locations in Milwaukee and Neenah, Wisconsin, and claims to be recognised as one of the US' leading paediatric healthcare providers.

Beef drives food inflation up for fourth month in a row
Higher beef and fresh produce prices pushed UK food inflation up for the fourth month in a row. Food price increased 2.8% in the year to May, up from 2.6% in April, according to data from the British Retail Consortium (BRC), which represents supermarkets and other retailers. Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the BRC, said shops were passing on the costs of higher minimum wages and increased employer National Insurance contributions. Nick Allen, of the British Meat Processors Association, told the BBC the price of beef had risen to "record levels" due to strong demand and lower supply. He said competition between supermarkets had previously been keeping the price of beef down, so it was only a matter of time until customers were hit by cost increases. "Its not surprise. The farm price for beef has been going up and up to the point that its now at record levels," Mr Allen said. He warned it was a "real struggle" for the industry to keep up with demand for beef, and claimed that "government schemes have not supported production but environmental schemes instead". The said red meat eaters "may have noticed their steak got a little more expensive" this month. Tomas Maunier co-founder of steak restaurant chain Fazenda, said his firm had passed on about 2% of increased running costs to customers. "Beef in particular has gone up about 20% in the last 12 months. A big chunk of that has happened in the last six but businesses cannot pass it all on to our guests," he added.

Nationals, caught in between patient and aggressive, fall again to Braves
ATLANTA — Opportunity beckoned early Thursday for the Washington Nationals. In a scoreless game, they loaded the bases with one out in the second inning against Atlanta starter AJ Smith-Shawver. A mound visit followed; the Braves' 22-year-old right-hander was on the ropes. Jacob Young, continuing a season-long trend for the Nationals, didn't wait around. He lashed at Smith-Shawver's next pitch and hit it hard. The problem: His 99.7 mph grounder was right at shortstop Nick Allen, who started a routine double play that got the speedy Young by a few steps and got Smith-Shawver off the hook.
