The use of mobile devices and rise of telehealth has increased the potential for psychologists and psychiatrists to reach a wider number of people in search of treatment for conditions ranging from depression, anxiety and stress to substance abuse and more. But as these tools become more pervasive, it raises questions about how effective they are and where the future of this area of healthcare is headed?
At the second annual HLTH conference, there will be a track devoted to mental and behavioral health — Mental and Behavioral Bridges to Health track on Monday, October 28. Professionals from Kennedy Forum, Quartet, Talkspace, Eleanor Health, Calm, Muse, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services HHS will discuss the merits of new therapeutics methods, the latest tech solutions with a mission to provide more comprehensive care, and changes to current approaches to treating anxiety in its early stages with technology.
Thousands of the healthcare industry’s most forward-thinking executives will gather for the second annual HLTH conference October 27-30 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The conference will spotlight executives from different segments of healthcare such as Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Geisinger, Google, Cambia Health Solutions, Anthem, Optum, Philips, and CVS Health. The diversity of companies represented at the event reflects the trend of receding boundaries defining the healthcare industry as retail, banking and finance, transportation, and other sectors push into healthcare.
