Will Clinicians in Leadership Roles Save Mental Healthtech?

This session is part of the Behavioral Health Preconference Forum and additional registration is required.

The mental healthtech industry often struggles to bridge the perceived chasm between academic psychology and the fast-paced demands of the healthtech sector. This session explores how clinicians, particularly psychologists, can serve as critical leaders to unite these worlds, ensuring technology solutions are grounded in clinical best practices and robust research. Digital health leaders and American Psychological Association committee members will examine the ways academic psychology and industry can collaborate effectively, the unique skillsets psychologists bring to non-patient care roles, and strategies for companies to maximize the value of clinician expertise. Attendees will leave with insights on leveraging clinical leadership to drive innovation and improve outcomes in mental healthtech.
