Life-Changing Virtual Mental Health Care
Most people still think of telehealth as a synchronous online visit between a patient and a provider. But the real opportunity goes far beyond that, it’s really the chance to redesign care at scale, for a hybrid and remote world.
This is particularly important with mental health treatment, where the current care model presents systemic quality issues and is ill-equipped to support the growing demand for care.
Long waits for appointments, short time with the provider, cookie cutter treatment, and infrequent support don’t work well for people suffering from anxiety and depression.
In this episode, Brad Kittredge the Founder & CEO, of Brightside discusses life-changing virtual mental healthcare. Brightside makes it easy to get top quality depression and anxiety care from the privacy of home. This includes both medication and therapy, tailored to the individual's needs.
