Digital mental health research insights

Time: 19:59
Bringing research to implementation. Shubs is joined by Lucy Cesnakova from DiMe in this quick dive into an important piece of research bringing insights to advance digital solutions that serve mental health, DiMe's work here was great here because Lucy and the team intentionally sought out input from different countries, access levels and other demographics across the ecosystem. It's great that the Wellcome Trust funded this work. And more of this type of research would clearly be, ahem, welcome.
Why should I listen? This will be useful if you are building solutions with underserved communities in mental health and applies both to high income and LMIC settings. If you are researching digital endpoints and biomarkers in mental health or involved in health system transformation for mental health this is well worth a listen. 
We cover the big commonalities across all geographies, plus what we can learn about local nuances as well as some key a-ha moments Lucy and the team gained.
Check out my substack for my written reflections on this episode.

Description

The podcast delves into the realm of health tech, highlighting a common trend: a focus primarily on the US, EU, and UK. However, it advocates for a broader perspective, urging listeners to look beyond this bubble and consider the innovations happening in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These regions face significant digital and non-digital healthcare challenges, leading to inventive solutions borne out of necessity. By exploring the work of those in LMICs, the podcast aims to uncover valuable lessons from their successes and obstacles.
Hosted by Shubs Upadhyay, a primary care physician with a wealth of experience spanning clinical practice, innovation, regulation and medical software engineering quality, the podcast offers a unique viewpoint. Through this lens, it reveals a stark disparity between technological advancements and their impact on underserved populations. With a focus on spotlighting individuals and organizations making a real impact in these communities, the podcast invites listeners to join the journey of discovery.
