Solera Health includes Ginger and eMindful to expand digital mental healthcare platform

Sol­era expands men­tal health net­work with new part­ners Gin­ger and eMind­ful (Fierce Healthcare):

Sol­era Health, a plat­form that links peo­ple with a curat­ed col­lec­tion of health solu­tions, is adding men­tal health com­pa­nies Gin­ger and eMind­ful to its net­work of partners.

Gin­ger, a provider of on-demand vir­tu­al men­tal health care, and eMind­ful, which offers evi­dence-based mind­ful­ness pro­grams, will join Solera’s men­tal and behav­ioral health net­work, where an algo­rithm will con­nect patients with the pro­grams best suit­ed to their needs.

Pre­vi­ous­ly, Sol­era announced a part­ner­ship with med­i­ta­tion and mind­ful­ness app Head­space in June.

The inclu­sion of two more providers rounds out what the com­pa­ny con­sid­ers its “MVP net­work,” CEO Mary Lan­gows­ki told Fierce Healthcare.

“This pro­lif­er­a­tion of dig­i­tal ven­dors is mak­ing it a lot eas­i­er for peo­ple to access these ser­vices, and address­ing what is a real cri­sis in this coun­try, not just among old­er adults but among younger adults as well who don’t want to access these sys­tems in a tra­di­tion­al way,” she said.
