​Innovation and Inclusion in Digital Mental Health Symposium
​Virtual symposium on innovation and social inclusion in digital mental health, Co-hosted by the Centre for Global Mental Health at LSHTM and Birkbeck Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Mental Health.
The use of digital technologies in mental health treatment is a rapidly growing and complex field, with stakeholders across healthcare, industry, and academia in both high-income and low-resource settings. While public and service-user engagement has been encouraged, this has been largely focused on brief consultations and user-testing, and questions remain around the extent to which service-users have been involved in a meaningful way, at all phases of development. This interdisciplinary symposium reflects on how the field has been shaped up to the present, and how social inclusion can be placed at the centre of digital innovations in mental health from here on.
