How Tech Can Actually Help Mental Health — With Ex-National Institute of Mental Health director Dr. Tom Insel - a podcast by Alex Kantrowitz

Dr. Tom Insel led the National Institue of Mental Health for 13 years, departing toward the end of the Obama administration for a career in tech. Insel joins Big Technology Podcast to discuss how the data on our devices may unlock the key to treatment. Our conversation covers how tech can help manage and treat illness, the privacy ramifications of collecting this data, and whether social media is actually harmful for our mental health.
