From the StartUp Health @ ViVE 2023 experience in Nashville. In this panel discussion on the importance of mental health in healthcare, panelists discuss what their companies are doing to combat the mental health crisis in the world today.

All of these Health Transformers are approaching mental health in unique ways, leaning on lived experiences and dynamic approaches in order to achieve success. The panel discusses a wide variety of topics, including the rise of digital therapeutics, prioritizing equitable access for populations who don't always have mental healthcare access, cultural competency, the Black maternal mortality crisis in the United States, social determinants of health, and more.
