In this edition, Driving the Future of Mental Healthcare: A 2025-2026 Leader to Watch, we highlight Dr. Tanveer A. Padder, a physician redefining access, precision, and humanity in psychiatry. From building rapid-access care systems to pioneering On-Demand Psychiatry™, the world’s first AI co-pilot for psychiatric clinicians, Dr. Padder blends evidence, empathy, and engineered workflows. His work shows how technology, when designed around the human story, can expand care without eroding trust or compassion.
