Arielle Radin Pulverman (UCLA PhD student) and co-founder of Bruin Health speaks about their goals to, "enable measurement based dimensional, data driven, precision psychiatry through partnering with clinicians who want to do this type of care." Ultimately in 20 yrs, she would like to make sure that "mental health care at least looks like other areas of physical health care... If we can get to the point of being like the gold standard for all things mental health, I don't think we can really do our jobs until mental and physical health are completely integrated at the level of healthcare. That's a very ambitious goal, but that is our North Star." 

What was the need? "So Bruin is trying to translate a lot of the approaches that we use in mental health research in terms of measurement approaches, also the constructs that we know are relevant for mental health and also the biopsychosocial model of mental health, trying to translate all those approaches into the real world. So something that I noticed being in academia is that a lot of the work that we're doing is not translating. It's not making its way into clinical practice."

Why was the product so successful and engaging? "Some people don't realize that using expressive suppression, keeping your feelings in, that is associated with both deleterious mental and physical health outcomes, whereas something like cognitive reappraisal is actually associated with better outcomes. So these are things that people don't know about themselves, and I think that's why they found it engaging."
