As mental health gains sharper focus in national policy discussions, interest in AI-driven approaches is growing rapidly across research, clinical and technology sectors, in India and globally.
Yet this work remains fragmented. Clinical stakeholders often have limited visibility into what's being built in technology and research, while technologists frequently work without adequate grounding in clinical realities and policy context. MindTech 2026 brings these stakeholders into one room, creating the shared understanding needed to move this work forward together.
MindTech 2026 brings together a deliberately cross-disciplinary audience, including:
Health clinicians and practitioners
Academicians and researchers in health sciences and AI
AI and technology startups working in health and wellness
Potential Partners and Collaborators
Policy and government stakeholders
Students and early-career professionals
Keynote Addresses: Academic-style keynote talks from leading voices in mental health, conversational AI and technology, offering a forward-looking, big-picture view of where this field is headed.
Panel Discussions: Structured panel conversations bringing together practitioners, researchers, technologists and government representatives, exploring themes including clinical applications, research frontiers, the policy landscape and technology development.
Solutions in Focus: Practitioner-led talks spotlighting existing tools, technologies and approaches already being applied in mental health, offering a grounded, hands-on counterpart to the keynotes.
Showcase: An exhibition-style showcase featuring booths from med-tech companies, institutions and more, giving attendees hands-on access to emerging tools, products and solutions at the intersection of health, technology and AI.
A detailed schedule, including confirmed speakers and session timings, will be published closer to the event.
