Thu 25 Jan 2024 - Join us for an insightful webinar hosted by the Mental Health Working Party. This session aims to explore the potential value of digital mental health tools in life and health insurance.
This meeting will be chaired by Lisa Balboa who co-leads the working party. We have on our panel 3 digital mental health providers: Thrive, Headspace Health, and Dialogue. They will be joined by Dr Tarun Gupta, Chief Medical Officer of L&G, adding a wealth of clinical experience to the discussion.
This session is about understanding the impact and value of these digital tools in the insurance value chain. It offers insights into some of the different types of providers and the value digital mental health tools can provide in life and health insurance.
Our panellists will bring this topic to life with real-world examples and insights, making it a practical and interesting discussion. Dr Gupta will also provide his first-hand clinical experiences with such tools.
The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, providing you with an opportunity to engage directly with our experts.
