Nashville, TN, September 7, 2022. Going Digital: Behavioral Health Tech, the largest mental health and addiction technology and innovation community, announces their new white paper for managed behavioral health executives and upcoming happy hour with Equip, IQTalent, and OPTT on September 13th, 2022, in Nashville, Tennessee for health plan leaders and digital health executives. 

Going Digital: Behavioral Health Tech hosts various events throughout the year to spark conversations about technology and innovation in the behavioral health field. They are most commonly known for their annual conference that showcases the changing technological, reimbursement, and policy landscape for telehealth and other virtual behavioral health solutions. 

Health plans and employers represent a significant percentage of the Going Digital: Behavioral Health Tech community. With the proliferation of digital tools and mental health apps, payers have been overwhelmed with how to decipher and evaluate differences between the many new solutions on the market. The Going Digital: Behavioral Health Tech team have prepared a new white paper with findings from their 200+ conference speakers including health plans, employers, providers, startups, investors, and policymakers on how regional health plans can develop a robust portfolio of behavioral health solutions for their members. Interested parties can access the white paper here. 

Going Digital: Behavioral Health Tech will be attending the AHIP’s (America’s Health Insurance Plans) Consumer Experience & Digital Health Forum and hosting a happy hour the evening of September 13, 2022. Health plan executives and other behavioral health stakeholders who would like to join in on the refreshments and discussion on innovation and behavioral health technology should register here. The happy hour will be hosted at the office of IQTalent Partners, a full-service, on-demand talent acquisition solution. All in attendance must register online prior to the event. Admission is welcomed at any point during the event and will be free of cost, but space is limited. The event is also co-sponsored by Equip, the leading provider of virtual, evidence-based eating disorder treatment in the U.S., and OPTT, a digital-first behavioral healthcare platform empowering healthcare organizations by enhancing clinicians’ workflow with providing validated digital care plans and AI-generated insights for decision-making, patient progress, and engagement.

About OPTT:

OPTT is a B2B platform targeted at health care organizations, empowering them with clinically validated digital care plans and proprietary A.I. algorithms to assist clinicians with their decision-making, increase the care capacity, and continuous management of their patient behavioral health needs.

After the integration into the current clinical workflow of our customers, our triage and intake module prompts patients to share written reflections of their mental health problems in their own language. Our algorithms parse the information provided by the patients and provide the clinician with an accurate diagnosis and suggested courses of treatment.

After assisting with the triage, we streamline care delivery by suggesting that one of our comprehensive clinically-validated digital-first treatment plans includes a mix of medication, live interaction, and digital activities. In this care delivery process, our AI assistant provides personalized insights and action plans to the care team to assure patient engagement and better outcomes.
