The mental health parity final rules were announced!! ✅*Everyone* working in mental healthtech should understand how this impacts access to care✅ Today’s final rule reinforces MHPAEA’s fundamental purpose that all Americans should have the same access to mental health and substance use benefits as they do physical health benefits. The final rule will: ➡ Require health plans to make changes when they are providing inadequate access to mental health and substance use care ➡ Make it clear what health plans can and cannot do ➡ Close existing loopholes Mental health parity is one of the primary threads throughout my career and I'm eager to see the changes this facilitates. I'll write more on this in the days to come, but in the meantime check out the final rule fact sheet (link in comments) #MentalHealth #Healthcare #MentalHealthParity #Psychology #HealthTech #Clinicians

Innovative global practices like task sharing, stepped care, and partnerships with religious leaders offer solutions.

Moving Beyond Mental Health In the 'Leading Systemic Innovation in Healthcare' programme, Dr. Tamara Russell PhD, D.ClinPsych explores how we can elevate mental health from the sidelines to a fundamental component of holistic health, emphasising the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. Tamara believes in moving beyond traditional mental health narratives to focus on brain optimisation and thriving. By integrating neuroscience and neuroimaging into mental health services, we can empower individuals to cultivate resilience and enhance cognitive performance. Let’s shift the conversation around mental health! Watch the video below to catch a glimpse of Tamara's innovative insights and learn how we can create a more integrated approach to mental health. #MentalHealth #HolisticHealth #BrainOptimisation #HealthcareInnovation #ExecutiveEducation #LeadingSystemicInnovation

📣 Today we publish our joint report with MHI, which reveals how Shout UK's digital service provides timely, targeted and effective #MentalHealth support for those in urgent need. Our analysis shows that Shout is addressing an unmet need. The report finds that the highest volume of Shout conversations take place between 6pm and 5am, at times when other traditional mental health services may not always be available 🕒 A key concern raised by the analysis in this report is the scale of the challenge to meet the mental health needs of people in the UK. We need a whole system approach to embrace technology and improve mental health care We must prioritise the potential of digital technology such as Shout for the health and care system.  On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we are delighted to explore how #DigitalInnovation can address poor mental health https://lnkd.in/eBJhHxhT Mental Health Innovations Imperial College London

Bridging the Mental Health Gap Experienced Clinical Eye 👁 Collaborative Care Models 🕸 powered by Tech 📱 The demand for behavioral health services far exceeds the supply of qualified professionals. This shortage leaves millions without the help they need, exacerbating public health challenges. Anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, addictions, and many more illnesses that, without proper treatment, only increase the risk to patients and organizations and take healthcare-related costs to the skies.

Attention digital mental health companies! 🧠 🤳 ❤️ 🤖 When I was an early advisor on the Wellcome Trust's mental health advisory board with Professor Miranda Wolpert, Carmine Pariante, Uma Vaidyanathan, Pim Cuijpers, Grace Gatera, Thomas Mrsic-Flogel, Josiah Tualamali'i - my colleague Obi Felten and I always had the same question - how could *companies* be involved? It was clear to me that academia is the best place to explore mechanisms of action for producing positive effects on mental health (and only clinician scientists can independently evaluate their efficacy at scale), but only companies have the right combination of incentives, global perspective, and operational outlook to take a putatitive intervention and make it scale. By contrast, the academic literature is full of neat ideas that have been studiously co-developed, piloted, and shuttered by the time the paper was ever published.
