About Singula
Institute:
Founded in 2018, Singula
Institute is a technologically-assisted, precision
medicine mental health research clinic, transforming the lives of
people suffering from anxiety and depression through our integrated
biopsychosocial approach. Singula Institute’s innovative model is
comprised of our clinical approach, which is based on an
integration of psychological and biological models of depression;
our clinical research that leverages cutting-edge
technology analyzing clinical treatment progress within a
closed-loop scientific method to individualize clinical treatment;
and our social impact community that will educate and
disseminate our research findings to reduce stigma and foster a
more mentally healthy society.
Our first large-scale initiative will
be to build a bio-behavioral database achieved through enrollment
into our clinical research program as well as through
collaborations with academic and non-academic clinical
institutions. The data obtained from these sources will be analyzed
and used to directly inform clinical diagnosis and treatment. Our
second initiative will be to change mental health paradigms at a
larger population level (rather than limited within our clinic)
through collaborations and partnerships with community-based
programs and local primary care practices, applying our data-driven
methods to form educational programming, thereby making larger
scale community interventions.
Since its inception 3 years ago,
Singula Institute has made significant
progress towards our strategic planning goals:
Built a board and advisory team of professionals with expertise
in healthcare, healthcare systems, neuroscience, finance,
entrepreneurship, marketing, communications, and labor law; all
committed to Singula’s mission.

Established several protocols to accomplish our clinical
research goals

programming to a mass audience through increasing our social media
presence and as a consultant to Healthline/PsychCentral and
HealthiNation, two medical educational outreach organizations
Created a legal and business structure to pair the non-profit
organization with the clinical care delivery entity
Created a viable business plan to implement our clinical
research program and clinical care services
Worked with two well-established marketing firms on the brand
strategy and brand identity; currently working with a website
