The integration of technology in mental health care has been a growing field of interest over the past decade. With advancements in digital tools, healthcare professionals have begun exploring innovative approaches to enhance patient care.
This evolution has led to the development of 'Serious Games' and other technologically driven methods in therapeutic settings. The Black Dog Institute's Optimise project stands as an example of how technology can be effectively employed in psychiatric practice. This project, along with others in the field, marks a significant shift towards incorporating digital solutions in mental health management. This webinar will explore these developments, offering psychiatrists an understanding of how technological innovations are shaping the future of mental health care.
This webinar offers an in-depth examination of recent developments in technology as a tool for mental health management with a focus on the concept of 'Serious Games', presenting detailed findings from the Black Dog Institute's Optimise project, and providing an overview of current trends in health technology. Aimed at professional development, this session is suitable for psychiatrists working in both private and public sectors, dealing with adult and adolescent cases.
Certificates of attendance will be issued for live attendance two weeks after the event.
A recording of this webinar will be made available within the coming months.
