We’re excited to announce that the talks and panels from our Inaugural Mental Healthcare Innovations Summit are now available on our YouTube channel! Dive into this video library to hear from thought leaders in mental health. We encourage you to watch the videos and share with your network to gain a deeper understanding of recent advances in mental healthcare and feel as inspired as we did (and still do!) after the event.

Our summit was held on October 6, 2022, at Stanford School of Medicine, with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change and brought together leaders in research, health insurance, government, policy, advocacy, nonprofits, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, to unite key stakeholders around our four pillars:

  1. Precision Mental Health 
  2. Digital Mental Health 
  3. Psychedelics 
  4. Awareness Interventions 

Check out clips and full length videos from the summit, including opening remarks from Diana Ramos, the California Surgeon General, a keynote from Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, and a fireside chat with Selena Gomez and Elyse Cohen.

Our Mental Healthcare Innovations Summit will be back this year in November. We look forward to bringing you the latest innovation and research in mental healthcare. Sign up here to join our waitlist

Event Breakdown 

The day began with opening remarks from Michael Snyder, PhD, and Ariel Ganz, PhD, and was followed by a compassion meditation led by James Doty, MD, emphasizing the importance of human connection for our wellbeing. Next, Benedict Macon-Cooney introduced Diana Ramos, MD, who spoke about the impact of mental health on our communities and her work to address mental health in California. We then heard from Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, who spoke on policy-level implementation of innovation funding via ARPA-H.

Our first session was the precision mental health panel, facilitated by Jess Northend, and brought together Michael Snyder, PhD, Ruth O’Hara, PhD, Leanne Williams, PhD, and Jyoti Mishra, PhD, MBA, to discuss their research and experience in this field. 

Our second session was the digital mental health panel, moderated by Antoun Nabhan, JD, and brought together James R. Doty, MD, Nichol Bradford, Daniel Kraft, MD, and Danny Gladden, MBA, MSW, LCSW, to share their experiences using and creating digital tools for mental health. 

Afterwards, we had a tech demonstration from Jon David of Akili Interactive who shared EndeavorRx, the first prescription video game for ADHD.

During our Awareness Intervention session, we heard from renowned author and speaker Bryon Katie, who taught us The Work, a method of self-inquiry she created, and Ariel Ganz, PhD, who shared the research behind The Work, with introductions from Ben Rolnik and Sage Robbins.

We then had a fireside chat with Selena Gomez and Elyse Cohen where Gomez spoke about her efforts to destigmatize mental health and increase mental health resources for underrepresented groups. 

Our third session was the psychedelics panel, moderated by Lauren Packard, JD, and brought together Jeffrey Becker, MD, Rosalind Watts, PhD, and Berra Yazar-Klosinski, PhD, to discuss their research and experience in this field. 

We ended the day with a design thinking session led by Susie Chang and Jess Brown from the Stanford d.school to capture the momentum generated by our panels and talks.

Performance effectiveness of vital parameter combinations for early warning of sepsis—an exhaustive study using machine learning

In this crucial study, we built and evaluated machine learning models for 240 different combinations of 4 vital signs: heart rate, respiratory rate, peripheral oxygen saturation, and temperature and systematically ranked these vital sign combinations with regard to 2 performance parameters: (1) area under receiver operating curve and 2) prediction times.

Multiomic analysis reveals cell-type-specific molecular determinants of COVID-19 severity

Featured on this month's August & September 2022 Cover of Cell Systems.

On the cover: Natural killer (NK) cells (pale blue) attacking SARS-CoV-2 viruses (red) with machine learning methodology signified by patterned numerals. In this issue of Cell Systems, Zhang et al. (p. 598) propose a machine learning method that integrates single-cell mult-iomic data with GWAS summary statistics to discover cell-type-specific disease risk genes. Application to severe COVID-19 identifies over 1,000 risk genes in 19 human lung cell types. Genetic risk is found to be enriched within NK cells and CD56 bright cytokine-producing NK cells.

Featured on the cover of Cell Reports journal August 2022: Dr. Michael Snyder and team have released key findings.

This work is a step forward leveraging primate stem cells for future of organ generation. A significant potential of this work is to utilize generation of primates (including human) tissues and organs to reduce, refine and eventually replace the use of animals in biomedical research.

A cancer-associated RNA polymerase III identity drives robust transcription and expression of snaR-A noncoding RNA

Results from this research support a model in which Pol III identity functions as an important transcriptional regulatory mechanism. Upregulation of POLR3G, which is driven by MYC, identifies a subgroup of patients with unfavorable survival outcomes in specific cancers, further implicating the POLR3G-enhanced transcription repertoire as a potential disease
factor.

CBS News Interviews Michael Snyder About Our Wearables Research Study and Self-Tracking Your Health Data.

"Stanford School of Medicine professor Michael Snyder is conducting several studies to see how far wearables can go in detecting disease. "You don't drive your car around without a dashboard," he said. "Yet, here we are as people. We're more important than cars, but we're running around without any sensors, most people. And we should be wearing these things, in my opinion, because they can alert you to early things."

"You prick your fingertip, put it on a sensor, and more biometrics scroll along the glass, all in blue, none in red to flag an anomaly."

"This is the future that Michael Snyder, director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine and chair of the department of genetics, wants for everyone on Earth. He’s already cobbling it together for himself. Each morning, he straps on four smartwatches and an Exposometer to measure levels of airborne particles. He has a continuous glucose monitor for his blood sugar and an Oura ring to track his sleep." Read More >
