HTF Mental Health Initiative: experiMental (2017 – 2018)

Although there are a growing number of online solutions that support mental health, it is still a largely underserved area. This week, Health Technology Forum will begin its mental health initiative: experiMental, a national series of mental health events. experiMental will stretch all the way from Silicon Valley on the West Coast down to Austin, TX in the South. The goal of this initiative is to explore the quickly blossoming world of mental health and innovations happening in the space. At the end of the year, we will publish a comprehensive white paper report with mental health data and best practices throughout the entire field, an exploration of where it stands now, and where it looks to grow in the future.

Here are the list of current events on the calendar:
