While mental and behavioral health conditions are highly prevalent, they are also often stigmatized. In the healthcare technology arena, this indication area has been on the rise in both excitement and innovation. According to the World Health Organization, one out of four people in the world suffer from a mental or neurological disorder, including a total of about 450 million people with mental disorders. Even as one of the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide, mental illness carries with it stigma, discrimination, and neglect, preventing patients from admitting the need for help, reaching for help or having the accessibility to resources for when they do. In a society that shies away from vulnerability, it becomes easy for us to not embrace the need for mental health or fully understand how to prevent future cases.

Moderated by Julie Papanek Grant, Partner at Canaan Partners, the panel includes:
  • Justin Baker, Scientific Director, The McLean Institute for Technology in Psychiatry
  • Ken Duckworth, Senior Medical Director for Behavioral Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA
  • Robert Garber, Partner, 7wire Ventures
  • Eric Schaeffer, Senior Director, Neuroscience Innovation, Johnson & Johnson Innovation
