Patient Access

Leslie Witt, Headspace Health's chief product and design officer, explains how the company's acquisitions are augmenting its mental health offerings and capabilities.

The insurer said the new offering will be included in the majority of its commercial health plans.

The mental health company will use Curebase's decentralized clinical trial platform to study its treatment program's efficacy.

The company announced a $200 million Series C round in January.

The startup will use the seed funding to launch services in California, Texas and Washington this year.

The Indian derma startup is also working to optimise its platform.

The tech giant also announces a partnership between YouTube and the Kaiser Family Foundation that aims to help organizations create high-quality informational content on topics like mental health, maternal care and health inequity.

Specialty care was significantly more likely to result in concordant diagnoses between telehealth and in-person appointments, compared with primary care.

Receiving opioid use disorder-related telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with lower odds of overdose and better retention using medications like buprenorphine, according to a study published in JAMA Psychiatry.

The company also announced Washington-based MultiCare Health System will be the first to license its tools for Indigo Health, the health system's hybrid urgent and primary care service.
