Are digital therapeutics the future of mental health? — with Peter Hames

For a long time, the standard of care in mental and behavioral health has been some combination of pharmaceuticals and talk therapy. But with FDA-cleared, rigorously vetted digital health apps, there’s a new piece of the puzzle, and it has the potential to combine the advantages of therapy with the scalability of drugs.

In this episode of HIMSSCast, Big Health CEO Peter Hames joins host Jonah Comstock to talk about the future of mental health and lessons learned so far.
