Presented by Calm: Embracing Technology in Mental Health
Setup
One of the most pressing conversations in mental healthcare right now is the negative impact that technology — including screen time and social media — may have on our minds. But technology also provides an unprecedented opportunity to expand access to high-quality, effective, and personalized mental healthcare. Digital tools can help people proactively make positive lifestyle changes to care for their mental health, learn to better manage anxiety or depression, and cope with the mental health impact of a physical condition. When used well, technology can lead to more efficient healthcare systems, better patient outcomes, and lower costs. We’ll talk about current trends, opportunities to build a better system, and the role technology will play in the future of mental healthcare.
