What is the Psychiatry Innovation Lab?

The Psychiatry Innovation Lab is an incubator at the American Psychiatric Association that catalyzes the formation of innovative ventures to transform mental healthcare. We nurture early-stage ideas and ventures by investing in them with mentorship, education, funding, and collaboration opportunities with our community of mental health innovators.

The Lab centers around a live event at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, the largest psychiatric organization in the world. This event brings together top leaders in psychiatry with experts in business, technology, medicine, and government, who collaborate with the finalists. This year, over $10,000 will be awarded, thanks for our supporters including InnovaTel Telepsychiatry, Lantern, Spring, and more.
