Black Dog Institute Podcasts for Health Professionals

While there is concern that excess screentime may impact young people’s mental health, smartphone technology can also provide a gateway to providing critical support in daily life.  Join Dr Imogen Bell, NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow and Psychologist at Orygen Digital, as she summarises the research into smartphone interventions for depression and anxiety in young people, including what apps are currently available and considerations for their use in everyday clinical practice. She will also highlight some of the promising innovations, including the artificial intelligence, research into the effectiveness of transdiagnostic apps, and the development of new transdiagnostic app, Mello.
