Mobile Mental Health Virtual Communities: Challenges and Opportunities

Eftychiou, Linda, El Morr, Christo·2017·The Digitization of Healthcare

Abstract

The need for technology-based therapy and psycho-education to treat depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses is in high demand as populations face many barriers when dealing with mental health. Technology-based programs, such as mobile Health (mHealth), open the door as an alternative to traditional therapy for those who would not otherwise have the ability to receive, or even seek out treatment. The use of mobile technologies such as smartphones, tablets, personal computers, mobile applications, and wireless networks, can allow the delivery of health care in a way that can reach a vast majority of the population. This chapter overviews the domain of mHealth in relation to mental health and virtual communities and provide a perspective of current opportunities and challenges.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
