Thomas Insel MD was the director for the National Institute of Mental Health for 13 years and oversaw Billions of dollars in government spending on neuroscience research. Today he is a co-founder and president of Mindstrong Health, a company that focuses on smart phone data to diagnose and treat mental illness. We start our conversation on his transition from NIMH to Mindstrong and end with a discussion on the vast amount of opportunity that is opening in the medical and mental health fields because of technology.
