Mental health isn’t just a personal issue — it’s one of the largest drivers of healthcare cost, performance, and overall well-being.

In this episode of Healthy Team Healthy Business, we sit down with Nawal Roy, Founder & CEO of Holmusk, to explore how data is transforming the way we understand and treat mental health.

Nawal shares how his company has built one of the largest mental health datasets in the world — and why the current system is failing to properly address the problem.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why mental health is significantly underdiagnosed
  • How mental health impacts physical health outcomes
  • The broken incentives in the healthcare system
  • Why treating symptoms without addressing mental health falls short
  • How data and AI could transform mental healthcare

Key Takeaway:

If we don’t start treating mental health as a core healthcare issue, costs will continue to rise — and outcomes will continue to suffer.
