MindKind Launch

In November of 2020, Sage announced a new partnership with the Mental Health Priority Area at Wellcome Trust (https://bit.ly/3BoPz0I). As part of Wellcome Trust’s strategy to find equitable ways to collect mental health data globally, Wellcome commissioned Sage Bionetworks and a consortia of researchers, technologists, and young people with lived experience in India, South Africa, and the UK to explore the technical, ethical, and regulatory challenges of collecting youth mental health data in new ways.

The MindKind Study (http://mindkindstudy.org/) was a two-year feasibility study through which we tested different approaches to building a sustainable, inclusive, responsible, and fair databank for diverse global mental health data.

On September 6th, 2022, Sage Bionetworks and Wellcome Trust co-hosted this free webinar where we presented our key findings from across the project.
