Description

Behavioral health is in crisis—not just from rising demand, but from the chaos of inconsistent care models, fragmented data, and outdated systems. In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, Jim Szyperski, CEO of Acuity Behavioral Health, shares how his team is bringing much-needed structure and accountability to inpatient psychiatric care.

 

Backed by a $1.5 million seed round and in collaboration with health systems, Acuity is creating data-driven standards that empower nurses, improve patient outcomes, and deliver operational clarity. Jim brings lessons from decades of entrepreneurship and dives into the real-world challenges of scaling innovation in healthcare’s slowest-moving sector. Gurus, if you care about solving systemic gaps in mental health care, this conversation is a must.
