Capacitate, Inc. Founder Defines the Self‑Care Operating System as the Next Healthcare Infrastructure Layer

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 3, 2026--

As generative AI accelerates across the U.S. healthcare system, a new book provides the first comprehensive blueprint for the multi‑trillion‑dollar transformation ahead. Multi-Trillion Dollar U.S. Healthcare to 2035: Gold Rush II, authored by healthcare strategist and Capacitate, Inc. founder Edmund L. Valentine, introduces the Self‑Care Operating System™ — a governed infrastructure layer designed to safely scale continuous (24/7), reimbursable preventive and predictive self‑care.

With U.S. healthcare spending projected to reach $7 trillion by 2031, Valentine argues that AI is evolving from analytical tools into clinical operating systems, shifting care from episodic encounters to continuous prevention. The book explains why future value will accrue to platforms capable of governing execution across time—clinically, economically, and regulatorily.

“The healthcare system cannot scale continuous AI-driven preventive care without governance before execution,” said Valentine. “Intelligence without control creates risk — clinically, economically, and regulatorily. This book explains where that control layer must live.”

At the center of the thesis is the Self‑Care Operating System, a governed, longitudinal control layer that mediates human input, AI reasoning, automated interventions, and reimbursement readiness before actions occur. Valentine asserts that this layer will determine which platforms can safely scale continuous care and which will face regulatory, clinical, or economic failure.

The Self-Care Operating System™ provides the "governed infrastructure" needed to manage patients continuously. It aligns with CMS’s 2030 Value-Based Care objectives by extending oversight into the patient's daily life through AI-driven, governed interventions. It has the potential to materially reduce healthcare costs through earlier detection of patient destabilization.

Multi-Trillion Dollar U.S. Healthcare to 2035: Gold Rush II is available now on Amazon.com; bulk and institutional distribution available upon request at PR@capacitate-hc.com.

Designed for investors, payers, employers, policymakers, platform architects, AI governance leaders, and healthcare executives, the book offers actionable guidance for navigating what Valentine calls the next U.S. healthcare gold rush.

Valentine is a healthcare strategist, industry executive, inventor, and entrepreneur with more than 30 years of global experience advising and operating across all segments of the healthcare industry. He is the founder of Capacitate, Inc. an early‑stage healthcare infrastructure company developing the preventive and predictive Self‑Care Operating System™ through governed pilot partnerships. Valentine is also the award‑winning author of Multi-Trillion Dollar U.S. Healthcare to 2020: Gold Rush and numerous industry reports. A recognized authority on healthcare transformation, he holds patents in health monitoring technologies and has advised on large‑scale system changes emphasizing governance, safety, and value creation.

About Capacitate, Inc.

Capacitate, Inc. is building healthcare’s continuous preventive and predictive Self-Care Operating System™—first introduced and defined in Gold Rush II. Healthcare delivery remains episodic, even though disease progression is continuous. Clinical decisions occur during brief, infrequent encounters, while health destabilization unfolds silently between visits—often detected only after escalation to acute care. Artificial intelligence can identify early deterioration, but without a governed execution layer—the infrastructure that safely turns AI insights into covered, real-world interventions—it cannot act safely, compliantly, or reimbursably at scale. Capacitate is building that execution layer, supported by issued and pending patents and developed in partnership with employers, payers, and care networks. Learn more at www.capacitate-hc.com

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA's long-awaited moonshot with astronauts is off until at least March because of hydrogen fuel leaks that marred the dress rehearsal of its giant new rocket.

It's the same problem that delayed the Space Launch System rocket's debut three years ago. That first test flight was grounded for months because of leaking hydrogen.

NASA announced the news Tuesday, shortly after the critical fueling test ended at Kennedy Space Center. Until the exasperating hydrogen leaks, the space agency had been targeting as soon as this weekend for humanity's first trip to the moon in more than half a century.

“As always, safety remains our top priority,” NASA’s new administrator Jared Isaacman said via X. “We will only launch when we believe we are as ready to undertake this historic mission.”

Officials said the monthlong delay will allow the launch team to conduct another fueling test before committing the four astronauts — three U.S. and one Canadian — to a lunar fly-around.

The leaks cropped up early in Monday's loading operation and again hours later, ultimately halting the countdown clocks at the five-minute mark. Launch controllers had wanted to get all the way down to a half-minute in the countdown.

NASA interrupted the flow of hydrogen several times in an attempt to warm up the area between the rocket and fuel lines and, hopefully, reseat any loose seals. But that didn't work and neither did altering the flow of the hydrogen — adjustments that allowed the first SLS rocket to finally soar without a crew in 2022.

With their launch now off until at least March 6, commander Reid Wiseman and his crew were given the all-clear to emerge from quarantine in Houston. They will reenter it two weeks before the next launch attempt.

NASA has only a handful of days any given month to send them around the moon — the first time astronauts will have flown there since 1972. They won't land on the moon or even go into lunar orbit during the nearly 10-day mission, but rather check out life support and other vital capsule systems ahead of a moon landing by other astronauts in a few years.

NASA sent 24 astronauts to the moon during the 1960s and 1970s Apollo. The new Artemis program is aiming for new territory — the moon's south polar region — and looking to keep crews on the lunar surface for much longer periods.
