MPowerMe Accepted into NVIDIA Inception Program for Clinical AI

BABCOCK RANCH, Fla., October 8, 2026 — Bethany R. Russell, Ph.D. & Associates, P.A., developer of MPowerMe, a clinician-led mental health platform, announced today that MPowerMe has been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception program, a program that supports technology startups advancing artificial intelligence and data science.

Through the program, MPowerMe gains access to GPU-accelerated computing resources, AI developer software stacks, and specialized technical guidance from NVIDIA. The practice will direct these resources toward three technical initiatives: optimizing multilingual model inference across English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, French, Portuguese, and Arabic to serve underserved populations; operating dedicated model instances in isolated, HIPAA-compliant environments so that user conversations are never shared, monetized, or used to train public foundation models; and strengthening real-time clinical signal detection that identifies ambiguous distress signals and guides users to licensed human care and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

"Therapy is a relationship, and clinical technology must never lose sight of human dignity. Our acceptance into the NVIDIA Inception program allows us to deploy accelerated computational power behind every word our users read, supporting our evidence-based clinical safeguards with the highest standards of speed, reliability, and security," said Bethany R. Russell, Ph.D., LMHC-QS, Founder and Clinical Director of Bethany R. Russell, Ph.D. & Associates, P.A.

"NVIDIA is the undisputed gold standard in AI infrastructure. Being accepted into the NVIDIA Inception program provides MPowerMe with the architectural foundation needed to run sophisticated, culturally tailored language models locally and securely. We are proving that cutting-edge AI can be deployed with total clinical accountability," said Charles Jones, AI Architect of the practice.

MPowerMe (MPowerMe.app) provides daily, clinician-governed mental health support, including PHQ-9 and GAD-7 check-ins, clearly labeled AI-generated responses, and FHIR export of user data. The platform was recently featured in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Health Technology Ecosystem pledge demo showcase as a patient-facing conversational AI application.
