Commercializing and Investing in Youth Mental Health Services Innovation
Global Healthcare Innovation & Investing Executive Talks
Hosted by Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University Irving Medical Center & New Health Investment Institute
Innovations in mental health, particularly for pediatrics and youth, are facing significant challenges, yet the urgency and importance of overcoming these obstacles cannot be overstated. Mental health issues in children and adolescents are rising at an alarming rate, with early signs often manifesting before the age of 14. Despite this, there are substantial gaps in accessible, effective treatments and interventions tailored to the unique needs of young people. The challenges are multifaceted, including a shortage of pediatric mental health professionals, stigma surrounding mental health, and a lack of tailored, evidence-based interventions that consider the developmental stages of youth.
Furthermore, the digital age brings both opportunities and challenges, with social media affecting young minds in unprecedented ways. Innovations that leverage technology for early detection, intervention, and support can revolutionize pediatric mental health care. However, ensuring these innovations are effective, and accessible remains a challenge.
Global Healthcare Innovation & Investing Executive Talks is a program organized by Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and New Health Investment Institute.
The program is a one-of-kind multi-disciplinary discussion and educational experience that brings the greatest minds from medicine, science, venture capital, capital allocation, business, and operations together to solve pain points of critical healthcare areas that require innovation. This event not only provides an overview of the mental health business landscape, but also provide insights on the know-how or barriers in commercialization and scaling of mental health innovation across the U.S.
