#32: The top research and innovation trends of 2024

Of all the mental health research and innovation in 2024, what do mental health founders and operators need to know about? That’s the question I try to answer in today’s post.

While I usually focus on the commercial side of this industry, I think it’s important for operators to be aware of the scientific, clinical and technological developments happening in this space.

Now, you know I’m not a clinician. And I’m not a researcher either. I’m much more comfortable reading annual reports than talking about clinical developments.

But I’ve spent a lot of the last year reading mental health research, following the latest innovations and listening to people much smarter than me tell me what excites them. And while it may not be my area of direct expertise, I’ve a good nose for figuring out the things MH businesses leaders should be paying attention to.

That’s what we cover in this post. It’s the list of research areas and innovations that I think are most interesting and most relevant to mental health founders as we end 2024.

We’ll cover;

• The impact of MH treatment on outcomes of physical conditions

• The growing role of consumer hardware in mental health

• Breakthrough Schizophrenia drug developments

• The growing popularity of Internal Family System therapy

• Advancements on the long-held promise of Biomarkers

• The AI explosion (in brief)

• Next generation psychedelics
