"We have a host of problems in our medical system, but in many cases, technology can at least be a bridge while we work to implement longer-term solutions." Healthcare purchasers like James Gelfand of The ERISA Industry Committee bring unique perspectives for employers on shaping employee benefits and the future of digital health. Hear James reflect on why the information provided within PHTI assessments is essential for healthcare plan sponsors who are identifying what works in digital health:

Today’s digital mental health market is defined by purchasers’ search for a solution that covers most patients’ needs. For depression and anxiety, some benefit from on-demand, self-guided tools, while others may need direct, clinician-led care. The desire to offer flexibility within a single tool draws many purchasers to blended care solutions, according to PHTI’s Caroline Pearson. Caroline joined the FDA’s Digital Health Advisory Committee to share findings from PHTI’s assessments of virtual solutions for depression and anxiety and for opioid use disorder.

Shawn's advice to employers: "Engage with PHTI, read the reports, learn what PHTI is doing to enable employers, purchasers, working families, and any other payer to make smarter decisions." #DigitalHealth
