Bringing research to implementation.

Shubs is joined by Lucy Cesnakova from DiMe in this quick dive into an important piece of research bringing insights to advance digital solutions that serve mental health, DiMe's work here was great here because Lucy and the team intentionally sought out input from different countries, access levels and other demographics across the ecosystem. It's great that the Wellcome Trust funded this work. And more of this type of research would clearly be, ahem, welcome.

Why should I listen?
This will be useful if you are building solutions with underserved communities in mental health and applies both to high income and LMIC settings.
If you are researching digital endpoints and biomarkers in mental health or involved in health system transformation for mental health this is well worth a listen.

We cover the big commonalities across all geographies, plus what we can learn about local nuances as well as some key a-ha moments Lucy and the team gained.

Check out my substack article for a written reflection on this episode.
