Little independent evidence exists about the impact of digital health technologies on clinical outcomes and overall healthcare system costs. Yet purchasers—payers, providers, and employers— are being overwhelmed with sales and contracting requests from digital health companies to implement solutions.

The objective is to promote informed decision-making that ensures that the solutions reach patients who need them while lowering overall costs.

As macro trends continue to drive the need for value-based care adoption across a spectrum of care models, value-based care (VBC) enablers have become an important mechanism by which independent medical groups and health systems can transition from fee-for-service to value-based contracting via wraparound services and affiliation with the enabler's network. In this session, panelists will explore opportunities for growth, challenges to scaling as a VBC enabler and how they evaluate partnership opportunities with the digital health ecosystem.

Psychedelics have recently demonstrated robust therapeutic effects in a wide range of psychiatric indications, including PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, OCD and substance-use disorders. Yet, the reality is that most people who suffer from mental health illnesses would not be able to access psychedelics like MDMA or psilocybin (if approved). Featuring clinical, scientific, and business leaders on the front lines of the so-called “psychedelic renaissance," this session will review the significant opportunity, as well as the unique risks and challenges.
