Abstract

The availability of new technologies continues to open up a vast range of diagnostic and clinical tools for geriatric psychiatry. As this space matures, we are recognizing the importance of factors such as optimal design to enhance patient engagement, the importance of leveraging easily available technologies, and the importance of in-home monitoring and continuous passive data collection. All of these factors have emerged as critical to harnessing the potential of digital mental health. Increasingly, the risks from these tools are also becoming evident–the lack of a regulatory structure and clear policy as well as major unanswered questions around data privacy and security are important factors in deciding whether these technologies will ever gain widespread adoption. This session will include 4 talks, all of which feature new data, and address the potential and pitfalls of digital tools in geriatric psychiatry.
