Wearable devices. Electronic Health Records. Telehealth Appointments. Mental Health apps. All these devices collect, gather, and analyze Data. These are just a few of the devices available to the public for their physical health. And yes, mental health is part of your physical health. After all, when you feel relaxed, calm, and ready to carry on, it makes you feel better as a whole person, right? According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in five Americans suffers a mental illness. Yet less than half receive treatment. With the advent of virtual telehealth services, Forrester predicted one-third of the estimated billion users of the service would be for mental health in 2021. So, with all these cutting-edge technologies, it would seem there’s an opportunity for everyone to find support. Mental or behavioral health goes deeper. Let’s take a look at some trends in Genomics, genetics, and how Data Science can help. What To Do With the Data in Mental Health Every device we wear, form we fill out, or appointment we schedule requires information. We give demographics, location, family and medical histories with an eye toward genetics. What environmental factors could have contributed? Who is most affected and how can they be reached? How does social media play a role? What stresses could someone be facing? How might you reach them and once engaged, how would you ensure treatment continued? These are just a few of the questions to be asked and the answers range from chatbots and virtual services to check-in apps. But when it comes to taking a deeper dive, genomics offers up a few more technologies fixed on getting to the heart of the issue. Such as: Using Natural Language Processing for note-takingDiagnostic Image Recognition using brain scansUnderstand and implement appropriate treatments using genomics to treat based on each individual’s needs.Continue advancements in Machine Learning chat bots and AI These are just a few of the trends in mental and behavioral health. More focused advances in gene editing allow for influence of specific cells. These breakthroughs offer ever more individualized treatments at a molecular level. Check out this Forbes article for a few more trends in the Life Sciences and Healthcare space. Bringing it All Together. Genome Data Is In Demand Where genetics ends, genomics begins. Much like we talk about work and life balance or integration, genomics seeks to employ for our mental and physical health. Using Data-driven insights to offer more treatment options, patients can engage with their providers via any number of sources. Precision medicine, lifestyle changes, AI and deep learning initiatives are driving genomic integration to help fuel behavioral health solutions. These advances are rich with promise in the Life Sciences field and are meant to benefit the whole person not just body or mind. May is Mental Health Awareness month. So take care of yourself. Reach out to others and if you’re thinking you need a change and you want to be part of the discoveries, Harnham may have a role for you.

This week I was fortunate enough to head down to the Watermark Conference for Women alongside our SVP, Stephanie Brooks. As we enter 2020 and women continue to shatter glass ceilings, Harnham firmly believe in a proactive approach towards placing more women in Data & Tech roles. Diversity and inclusion are integral to our story and core beliefs and we strive to continually re-evaluate how we create measurable change in the marketplace and redefine the metrics of successful and excellent recruitment. For us, attending the conference was a chance to meet and learn from some of those women who are leading the way. Every talk inspired me in some way but there were a couple I really connected with, and I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on how they impact the work we do at Harnham. WHAT IS WATER? One talk that struck a chord with me was Seth Godin’s breakfast keynote, inspired by a commencement speech by David Foster Wallace in which he famously tells a story of two fish out at sea. The story goes: “There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says ‘Morning, boys. How’s the water?’ And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes ‘What the hell is water?’”. Godin’s speech was meditated on how attitudes and beliefs are the indicators of future success. In his speech, Godin echoed Wallace’s sentiment that “freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in a myriad of ways every day.” Recruitment is an industry where it is easy to swim along without questioning what water or recruitment really is. To question what is water - what is recruitment - requires thoughtful analysis, careful consideration, and of course, “attention, awareness, and discipline”. As the global leaders of Data & Analytics recruitment, we remind ourselves daily that we are responsible for making meaningful change. Water is, to us, what we make of it. For Seth, his water is marketing. For Harnham, our water is recruitment and we stand by Wallace’s challenge to stay conscious and alive in our jobs. Day in and day out Harnham will continue to make the case for agency recruitment to be diverse and inclusive, as this is in the best economic interest of our clients. THE ECONOMY OF DIVERSITY One of the most insightful and compelling moments of the day was a conversation between Pat Mitcheel and Indra Nooyi, the former chair and CEO of PepsiCo. Having directed the company’s global strategy for more than a decade, Nooyi is uniquely poised to discuss the importance and power of having women in every capacity within an organization. During the conversation, she highlighted the statistics that measure the success companies achieve when women have equal representation at all levels. Currently, gender parity exists in entry-level positions but is absent in the 2nd and 3rd tiers of the workforce. While Nooyi highlighted that having a diverse and inclusive workplace should be an integral part of every company’s corporate social responsibility, she argued that this also leads to unprecedented economic growth. This aligns closely with our view of Diversity at Harnham, something which we examined in more detail in our Diversity Report. For Nooyi, in making the case for the economics of diversity, she used the work of care economists to show how implementing policies that affected the unique interests of women are proven to not only keep women in the workforce and draw them back to work after children but are also shown to increase the economic output of countries. Institutional change at the corporate level and policies focused on those who have care-giving responsibilities have been shown to positively influence economic growth and increase the happiness and productivity of workers. BREAKING OUT As a woman working in a fast-paced and competitive environment, I also took a number of insights from the various break-out sessions held throughout the day. Here are a few highlights: Women Breaking Barriers: Michelle P. King, Andrea McBride John, Pat Mitchell, Samantha Rapoport Find a mentor, be a mentor. Find a sponsor, be a sponsor. Find a sister, be a sister.Take up space and own it Share your successes with the women and men around you Building a Network of Relationships, Not Just Contacts: Laura Okmin Focus on asking people who they are, not what they do Reach out when you don’t need anything, maintain relationships The Myth of the Nice Girl Nice people build trust, trust is the foundation of all business relationships You don’t have to choose between kindness and strength If you want to break glass ceilings, we may have an opportunity for you.
