Please join us for the Change Seminar next week on Tuesday 5/1/2018 in EEB 037.
Who: Dr. Dror Ben-Zeev, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UW What: Mobile Health (mHealth) and the re-imagining of treatment for Serious Mental Illness. When: Tuesday, May 1st, 12-1pm Where: EEB 037
Abstract: Dr. Dror Ben-Zeev will provide an overview of recent advancements in the field of mHealth and examine how mobile devices and telecommunication infrastructure can be harnessed to support illness detection, prevention, and care of people with severe psychopathology in outpatient and inpatient settings. He will present findings from several of his group’s studies which involve the use of both cutting edge technologies (e.g., multi-modal smartphone sensing for relapse detection, multi-media intervention apps for illness management) as well as novel uses of existing but simpler technologies (e.g. texting between clinicians and patients) in an effort to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Ben-Zeev will describe the lessons his team learned from conducting multiple mHealth initiatives with complex patients in real-world settings. He will outline his vision for effective, realistic, and sustainable mHealth for mental health in the years ahead.
