🧠 What if we could analyze 41 million mental health patient records and finally uncover the hidden patterns driving depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, addiction, and more?

In this episode of Pod of Inquiry, we sit down with Nawal Roy, Founder & CEO of Holmusk, the world's largest HIPAA-compliant real-world evidence company focused on mental health and neuropsychiatry.

After spending more than a decade building a platform containing 41 million patient records and over 5 trillion clinical data tokens, Nawal is helping researchers, clinicians, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies answer questions that traditional healthcare systems have struggled to address.

We explore why mental health has been left behind in healthcare digitization, how depression and chronic diseases like diabetes are deeply connected, and why the future of psychiatry may depend on data, AI, and digital phenotyping rather than traditional symptom-based diagnosis.

🔹 In this episode:

✅ Why mental health was largely excluded from healthcare modernization efforts
✅ The surprising connection between depression, obesity, and diabetes
✅ What "digital phenotyping" means and how it could transform psychiatry
✅ Why depression patients often spend years searching for effective treatment
✅ The massive evidence gap in mental healthcare research
✅ How social media is reshaping mental health outcomes
✅ Nawal's warning about the rise of "virtual psychosis"
✅ The promise and risks of artificial intelligence in healthcare
✅ How Holmusk's NeuroBlue platform is changing mental health research

This conversation offers a fascinating look at how big data, AI, and real-world clinical evidence could reshape the future of mental healthcare.
