In the midst of a global pandemic, when social interactions are limited and many of us only have access to basic necessities that are deemed essential, more and more individuals are pivoting to online therapy to deal with anxiety, depression, and overall strife. Roni Frank, the Co-founder of Talkspace, joined IT Visionaries to discuss how their app is filling an important gap in the healthcare industry and how technology is providing people the help they need at scale.

Key Takeaways:

 

  • There are three key barriers preventing people from receiving healthcare services: cost, convenience and stigma
  • Machine learning and A.I. are revolutionizing the healthcare industry to deliver better care at scale
