Adam Chekroud

I spend every day thinking critically about how we treat mental illness, and how we might get better quality behavioural health care to patients. I co-founded Spring Health, a behavioural health startup. Spring Health is a comprehensive mental health benefit for employers. We help employees understand their mental health issues and connect with best-in-class providers to get the right treatment at the right time. As an academic, I develop computational approaches to improve the treatment of mental illness, largely through better matching of specific symptom profiles with specific medications, treatments, or exercise regimens (e.g. Chekroud et al., 2016, Lancet Psychiatry; 2017 JAMA Psychiatry; Koutsouleris et al., 2016, Lancet Psychiatry; Chekroud et al., 2018, Lancet Psychiatry).
