The face of leadership in digital health is changing. Why? Because digital needs to respond to changing patient and health workforce demands, and that requires leaders who are sensitive to and reflective of these shifts. During this panel, we will discuss the most pressing issues facing digital health leaders today, skills and capabilities needed to lead digital health, and what everyone can do to drive more diversity in the digital health workforce to respond to the changing healthcare landscape.

The end of mental illness begins with a revolution in brain health.

Though the incidence of conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, addictions, PTSD, and ADHD is skyrocketing, standard treatment and success rates in treating these conditions have barely changed in the last seven decades. Meanwhile, the stigma of “mental illness” prevents many people from getting the help they need.

Based on his brain-imaging work at Amen Clinics, with more than 170,000 scans on patients from 121 countries, neuroscientist and psychiatrist Daniel Amen, MD, has learned that most psychiatric illnesses are not mental health issues at all. Rather, they are brain health issues that steal your mind. This one idea changes everything: Get your brain right and your mind will follow.

In The End of Mental Illness, Dr. Amen challenges an outdated psychiatric paradigm and helps readers improve the health of their own brains, minimizing or reversing conditions that may be preventing them from living full and emotionally healthy lives.
