The Future of Mental Health: Precision Neuromedicine

Description:

Dive into the world of cutting-edge neuroscience, brain imaging and diagnostics, bioelectronic medicine and psychedelic-inspired therapeutics. An investor and three leaders in brain health will explore the evolving realm of precision neuromedicine, what's tracking as real step change in underlying science and engineering in neuroscience (and what's not), and how once insurmountable challenges in dealing with mental health issues are now on the verge of being solved because of said applied innovation. Join us in unpacking these new avenues in neuro and what it means for patients.

Takeaways

  1. Technologies enabling precision neuromedicine will force the pharma industry to adopt more effective ad precise strategies for psychiatric drugs.
  2. Bioelectronic medicine and other non-pharmacologic interventions can be safer and more effective than traditional psychiatric drugs.
  3. A new type of brain imaging called td-fNIRS can help predict which interventions a patient will best respond to before they begin a treatment.
