Words of wisdom ahead from 7wireVentures Partner Alyssa Jaffee in Rock Health's report, "Investing in the Future: Opportunities to Support Digital Innovations in Youth Mental Health," delving into various aspects of how digital solutions shape mental health support for young people, and exploring current innovations and future opportunities: “Integrating mental health with physical health is critical given they are so often inextricably linked. Whole-person care that addresses both facets enables a virtuous cycle in health improvement. For startups in this space, the challenge is less about proving the value of this approach, but about developing reimbursement models that reflect the value that is being created. Health plans often have separate physical and behavioral health divisions, meaning startups will need to solicit buy-in and negotiate payment structures across multiple parties.” - Alyssa Jaffee, Partner, 7wireVentures To read more insights by leaders in the space, visit https://lnkd.in/g_G5h-W4
