技术正在给每个领域带来革命，精神卫生保健也不例外。持续的COVID-19大流行为我们提供了利用技术作为改善精神卫生保健的手段的需求和机会。因此，必须通过扩大其应用范围和未来的可能性来扩大和利用远程精神病学的巨大潜力。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了数字创新的不同途径，这些创新正在彻底改变精神病学的实践，如心理健康应用程序，人工智能，电子门户网站和利用技术进行能力建设。此外，我们还设想了精神病学实践的未来，考虑到技术进步的迅速发展以及这些进步将如何影响我们。在前进的道路上将有挑战，特别是对于像印度这样的国家;数字鸿沟，缺乏利用现有技术的知识以及需要质量控制和监管。然而，可以肯定的是，远程精神病学将发展和进步，超越这些障碍，并将履行其在转变医疗保健方面的作用。远程精神病学将提高医疗保健与病人和家人互动的能力。国家和国际边界的模糊也将为印度的精神病医生提供国际机会，预示着新一轮的虚拟健康旅游。
Technology is bringing about a revolution in every field and mental health care is no exception. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with both a need and an opportunity to use technology as means to improve access to mental health care. Hence, it is imperative to expand and harness the tremendous potential of telepsychiatry by expanding the scope of its applications and the future possibilities. In this article, we explore the different avenues in digital innovation that is revolutionizing the practice in psychiatry like mental health applications, artificial intelligence, e-portals, and technology leveraging for building capacity. Also, we have also visualized what the future has in store for our practice of psychiatry, considering how rapid technological advances can occur and how these advances will impact us. There will be challenges on the road ahead, especially for a country like India for instance; the digital divide, lack of knowledge to utilize the available technology and the need for a quality control and regulation. However, it is safe to presume that telepsychiatry will evolve and progress beyond these roadblocks and will fulfill its role in transforming health care. Telepsychiatry will improve the health care capacity to interact with patients and family. The blurring of national and international borders will also open international opportunities to psychiatrist in India, heralding a new wave of virtual health tourism.
