Session Five: Information Technologies in Mental Health

July 31, 2023 to August 4, 2023

Over the last twenty years, information technologies (IT) have played an increasingly vital role in the delivery of healthcare. Ready information access on the Internet was the first intersection of IT and healthcare, which began to change the dynamic between patient and provider. Electronic health records, telemedicine, and medical applications on smartphones have now become ubiquitous in the delivery of healthcare. Social media, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality are playing an increasing role in terms of access, changing attitudes towards mental health, assessment of clinical acuity, and delivery of care. In this course, we will examine and explore the benefits, risks, and appropriate use of these technologies. At the end of this course, participants will have an improved understanding of the benefits, risks, and appropriate implementation of many technologies used in mental health services.

Learning Objectives

Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

  • recognize the impact of social media with regards to decreasing stigma of mental health, influence on health seeking behaviors, and professional development
  • assess smartphone applications with regards to scientific basis, privacy, security, and clinical integration to incorporate them into clinical practice
  • determine how artificial intelligence software will assist in suicide risk assessment and identifying patients at risk for relapse, and incorporate these technologies in assessment
  • review personal and professional information available online in form of blogs, physician ratings, and social media and how these impact online reputation and privacy
  • Incorporate strategies to protect personal privacy and professional reputation online.
