Abstract

Digital technology trends for mental health, instantiated with only emerging use cases or already established applications, offer significant potential to improve clinical therapy and care. In this paper, we identify five major trends, mHealth/eHealth, telehealth, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and biosensors/wearables; describe seven specific technology use cases for mental health care and psychotherapy; and provide an overview of their maturity in practice.
