This week on the Rated Rx Podcast, Robbie Abasi, Sam Llona, and Xavier Hill talk about what happens when personal data meets mental health apps. They share which wearables they actually use, how accurate the data feels, and whether the privacy tradeoff is worth it. You’ll hear about sleep tracking rings, guided meditation apps, and where the line falls between wellness and surveillance.
The group also asks the bigger question: who regulates this stuff? They compare mental health apps to supplements—promises everywhere, oversight nowhere—and debate whether tech companies should face the same rules as drug makers. The conversation takes a turn into data tracking, government access, and whether devices like Neuralink cross an ethical line.
In Pharmacy Fantasy, the crew imagines a world where pharmacists run a spaceship. From floating insulin vials to reconstituting antibiotics in zero gravity, things go sideways fast. They end with a Blind Draft of the worst things to find in a pharmacy fridge, and a reaction to a viral “food tampering” video that sparks a talk about safety seals, the Tylenol murders, and why pharmacists still trust but verify.
