Lucet Appoints Dr. Sean Martin as Chief Medical Officer to Accelerate Vision for Integrated, Whole-Person Behavioral Health Care
Lucet, a pioneering force in the behavioral health landscape, has announced the appointment of Dr. Sean Martin as its new Chief Medical Officer (CMO). This strategic leadership move underscores Lucet’s commitment to redefining behavioral health through a model that seamlessly integrates clinical excellence, cutting-edge technology, and compassionate, whole-person care. Dr. Martin joins Lucet from Oscar Health, where he served as CMO and played a pivotal role in shaping a member-centric clinical strategy that enhanced the quality, accessibility, affordability, and overall experience of healthcare services for millions of individuals.
Dr. Martin’s arrival comes at a pivotal moment in Lucet’s evolution. As the demand for integrated care models intensifies—particularly those that address the complex interplay between behavioral health conditions and co-morbid chronic physical illnesses—his leadership is expected to be instrumental in advancing the company’s mission to deliver truly comprehensive, person-centered care. In his new role, Dr. Martin will be responsible for developing and executing Lucet’s clinical roadmap, with a strong emphasis on transforming care delivery to improve outcomes, enhance patient engagement, and scale high-impact, evidence-based interventions across diverse populations.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Martin to Lucet as our new Chief Medical Officer,” said Shana Hoffman, President and CEO of Lucet. “His clinical vision for elevating care delivery and outcomes will be critical as we look to solve healthcare challenges more comprehensively while delivering whole-person care at scale. His philosophy is closely aligned with our mission to improve the well-being of those we serve, and we look forward to leveraging his experience and extensive leadership skills to make integrated care not just an ambition but a reality for all who need it.”
Dr. Martin brings to Lucet a rare combination of frontline clinical experience, executive leadership in innovative health systems, and deep expertise in digital health transformation. A board-certified internist and former practicing primary care physician, he understands the nuances of patient care from both the exam room and the boardroom. His academic credentials include degrees from Stanford University and Baylor College of Medicine—two institutions renowned for their rigorous training and commitment to advancing medical science and humanistic care.
Throughout his career, Dr. Martin has been a passionate advocate for leveraging technology to enhance patient engagement, streamline clinical workflows, and close critical gaps in care delivery. At Oscar Health, he championed data-driven approaches to care coordination, preventive health, and chronic disease management, helping to build a health plan that prioritized member experience without compromising on clinical quality. His work there exemplified a forward-thinking approach to healthcare—one that aligns precisely with Lucet’s core values and strategic direction.
Before joining Oscar, Dr. Martin held numerous executive, advisory, and board roles across the digital health ecosystem. These experiences have given him a panoramic view of the healthcare landscape—from startups developing AI-powered diagnostic tools to large health systems implementing value-based care models. This breadth of perspective equips him uniquely to guide Lucet as it expands its offerings and deepens partnerships across the healthcare continuum, including with health plans, providers, employers, and community-based organizations.
Behavioral health has long been siloed from general medical care, despite overwhelming evidence that mental and physical health are inextricably linked. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders frequently co-occur with chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and chronic pain, leading to poorer outcomes, higher costs, and diminished quality of life. Lucet was founded on the principle that this fragmentation must end—and that care must be delivered holistically, addressing the biological, psychological, and social determinants of health in a coordinated, empathetic manner.
Dr. Martin’s appointment signals Lucet’s intensified focus on operationalizing this vision. He will lead clinical strategy, oversee quality and safety initiatives, guide the development of new care pathways, and ensure that Lucet’s technology platforms—ranging from telehealth infrastructure to predictive analytics—are grounded in sound clinical science and real-world patient needs. His leadership will also be critical in forging strategic collaborations that extend Lucet’s reach and impact, enabling the company to serve more individuals with greater efficacy.
“Joining Lucet provides an incredible opportunity to deliver an integrated, patient-centric care model that holistically addresses the physical, behavioral, and social needs of the individuals we serve,” said Dr. Martin. “I’m thrilled to join an organization that combines clinical excellence, data-driven insights, and a deep human connection to close the gap between need and care.”
Indeed, the timing of Dr. Martin’s appointment could not be more consequential. The U.S. is facing a behavioral health crisis of unprecedented scale. Rates of anxiety, depression, and substance use have surged in the wake of the pandemic, while access to timely, high-quality mental health care remains severely limited—especially in underserved communities. At the same time, payers and providers are increasingly embracing value-based care models that reward outcomes over volume, creating fertile ground for innovative organizations like Lucet to demonstrate the power of integration.
Under Dr. Martin’s guidance, Lucet is poised to accelerate its development of scalable, tech-enabled care models that are both clinically robust and deeply human. This includes expanding virtual and in-person services, embedding behavioral health support within primary care settings, and using real-time data to proactively identify and support at-risk individuals before crises occur.
Moreover, Dr. Martin’s background in primary care gives him a unique appreciation for the importance of continuity, trust, and longitudinal relationships in healing—elements that are often missing in fragmented or transactional care models. His leadership is expected to reinforce Lucet’s culture of compassion while driving operational excellence and measurable impact.
As Lucet continues to grow, Dr. Martin’s role will extend beyond internal strategy to include thought leadership in the broader healthcare conversation. He is expected to represent Lucet in policy discussions, industry forums, and academic collaborations, helping to shape the national dialogue around integrated care and behavioral health equity.
