Why Policy Could Make Or Break The Next Wave Of Health Innovation with Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute
Manage episode 517673423 series 2893730
The next decade of mental health innovation won’t be defined by who builds the best product, but by who anticipates the policy pathways that bring it to scale.
In this episode, Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, explores how behavioral health startups can bridge the gap between early traction and national scalability by viewing policy as a strategic growth tool rather than merely a compliance requirement. She reflects on a recent Washington, DC, event that united over 60 tech and policy leaders to tackle barriers to scaling tech-enabled, measurement-informed care. The discussion spanned topics such as AI in mental health, workforce trust in technology, and the importance of constructive dialogue between innovators and policymakers. Kacie highlights that policy determines who pays for what, when, and how, urging founders to build reimbursement strategies early and leverage programs like HeadsUp to navigate policy landscapes and accelerate growth through federal initiatives.
Tune in and learn how policy foresight can become your most powerful innovation advantage!
