CEO Lucy Jung reflects on three and a half years as an entrepreneur. She discusses her responsibility as a role model and building a company ethos that puts people with Parkinson’s at the heart of everything that the Charco Neurotech team does.

CEO, Steph Martlew talks to us about how Psyomics (psyomics.com) is addressing the supply and demand issues with tackling mental health, using their #mentalhealthtech. One in four people have a mental health issue in each year, and in the UK alone 1.6m people are waiting for treatment – during this time their mental health is not improving.

Psyomics’ evidence-based tech was built from research spun out of the University of Cambridge, to a commercial digital analytics tool to improve outcomes and expedite treatment at the point of patient need. By developing assessments in a more anonymous way the Censeo platform should also contribute to the destigmatising of mental health, here in the UK and on a global basis.
