Anecdotal evidence, but I personally know quite a few people with mental health issues who’ve found psychiatrists very helpful. I don’t know anyone who has received significant help with mental health from a tech startup. Startups are great, but they aren’t the answer to everything.
- loceng 8y agoMany of the tech startups currently are platforms to connect people to services - like psychiatrists.
- manigandham 8y agoSo directory services? Great, but then they have nothing to do with the actual healthcare, so your original comment on private market care doesn't apply.
- loceng 8y agoSorry but I don't understand how my comment on the private market doesn't apply? I think there is definitely difficulty in seeing the underlying aspects of where innovation comes from, mainly because the "lowest hanging fruit" is what will get investment money first, and part of that lowest hanging fruit will scale quickly too - meaning it'll be what gets the most mainstream exposure - so that can skew people's view about private vs. public. Do you have much experience personally dealing with healthcare systems to reference?
