WHY MENTAL HEALTH?
In the midst the largest health crisis we have faced in decades, the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed gaps and inefficiencies in our health care systems. One of the biggest gaps that has been uncovered is the associated with diagnosing, treating, and managing mental health. As we continue to destigmatize conditions related to this therapeutic area, there is a clear and urgent need for it to be prioritized. And while digital health technologies such as Calm, Headspace, and Click Therapeutics are already demonstrating progress, this sector still demands substantial innovation in order to meet the need of a society stricken with pandemic-driven anxiety and depression.
ACCEPTABLE INNOVATIONS INCLUDE:
· Telehealth Platforms
· Remote Consultations
· Chatbots
· AI-Based Diagnostics
· App-Based Support Groups or Communities
