“ I would say that , even for individuals who didn ' t have mental health problems before , there are so many people for whom there ' s this general sense of a lack of joy . There ’ s this fatigue , a general grey area , where they feel a little numb after all this .”
Lauren Mills , director of new markets at Valera Health , is determined to make sure that those supporting healthcare workers do not forget what people on the front lines went through .
“ By continuing to pay attention to the mental health of healthcare workers – for a long time to come – is going to be really important ,” says Mills . “ It shouldn ' t be something that people think has ended or is going away .

“ In terms of digital health , there will need to be this continued emphasis on measuring outcomes ”
