Oqea, a groundbreaking mental health technology startup in Perth, is excited to announce the appointment of Dr Mei Ling Doery to its Board of Directors. This pivotal addition to the team marks a significant step forward in Oqea's mission to revolutionise mental health care through transformative technology solutions.

Dr Mei Ling Doery, a respected leader in both mental health and technology, brings a wealth of knowledge and a visionary mindset to her new position at Oqea. With over two decades of experience driving health initiatives and a strong dedication to public and preventative health advocacy, Doery is poised to help Oqea achieve new milestones.  

"Oqea is leading the way in integrating technology with mental health care and wellness, and I'm excited to join the team during such an innovative period," Doery shared. "While technology and social media have been criticized for their negative effects on mental health, when used thoughtfully, and as part of in-person team-based care, they have the potential to significantly expand access to effective, innovative solutions that can positively impact lives on a large scale."

Doery's background includes leadership roles such as Managing Director of MDMD, Advisor to GoodLight Capital, Chair and Director at Teach Us Consent, and Medical Advisor to the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Her groundbreaking work in public health, alongside her commitment to aligning capital with long-term human values, has earned her recognition as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader.

"Dr Mei Ling's appointment is a testament to Oqea's commitment to leading the charge in mental health innovation," said Martyn Weir, CEO of Oqea.

"Her visionary leadership and deep understanding of both the technology and mental health landscapes will be invaluable as we continue to develop and expand our offerings," he said.

Joining the existing board members, including Julian Sallabank (Chair), Martyn Weir (Co-founder &CEO), David Manuel (Independent Director & Community Pharmacist) and Kyle Hoath (Co-founder, Non-Executive Director & Consultant Psychiatrist), Mei Ling Doery's expertise will further strengthen Oqea's strategic direction.
