Revolutionizing Behavioral Health Care: SmarTest® AI Bridges the Gap Between Primary and Behavioral Health Care.
There’s no doubt that behavioral health concerns affect a significant portion of the U.S. population. According to the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI), 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience a mental illness each year.
Although behavioral health conditions are widespread, accessing care continues to be a major challenge.
There are several reasons why:
Shortage of Providers: Limited behavioral health providers make it harder to find care
Cost: Treatment can be expensive and may not be covered by insurance
Wait Times: High demand for behavioral health care can make it difficult to get an appointment
Stigma: Fear of stigma or judgment often discourages people from seeking mental health support
The data on mental health in the U.S. can be discouraging, which is why at Mental Health Technologies (MHT) we’ve created an incredible tool to make healthcare providers' jobs easier, improve their patients’ lives, and help practices achieve clinical and financial goals.
