How Array is Connecting Behavioral Health Experiences (#505)

Author: Healthcare Rap Media May 26, 2026 Duration: 27:12

Shannon Werb, CEO of Array Behavioral Care, describes what the digital entry points for mental health look like today, the downsides of investing so heavily in digital access, and what it takes to make virtual mental health actually feel personalized and trustworthy for patients. 

All that, plus the Flava of the Week about Oura and Resmed’s new partnership. How are they creating a "wearables to care" strategy, and how can health become more preventive as more consumer devices become entry points to care?
