Telehealth apps see post-COVID focus on mental wellbeing

"There's a mental health crisis in Europe... there's a big problem that needs to be solved," Johannes Schildt, the CEO of Sweden-based health startup Kry, one of Europe's leading digital healthcare providers, told Reuters at the Web Summit in Lisbon.

A study by medical journal The Lancet showed 76 million additional cases of anxiety disorders and 53 million more major depressive disorder in 2020, with young people and women the most affected. Eren Bali, founder and CEO of Carbon Health, which has several clinics country-wide and also provides online health appointments, echoed Schildt's views and told Reuters"all kinds of digital usage skyrocketed".

"Deep integration" between virtual systems and in-person appointments was the way forward when people's lives radically changed, Bali observed.
