有可能改善精神卫生服务质量的技术正在以惊人的速度发展。在这篇论文中，来自不同学科和背景的专家分享了他们对目前和不久的将来严重精神疾病的技术辅助评估和治疗的观点、经验和愿景。首先，我们研究了技术进步如何帮助消费者更好地理解和利用复杂的治疗系统，获取有关心理健康状况和可行干预措施的信息，提高治疗参与度，学习和保持有效的应对策略，克服与污名相关的一些障碍，降低治疗成本，增加治疗的可及性和结果。然后，我们具体讨论了使用无处不在的移动设备和移动医疗方法的优势，强调了它们在促进实时/实时个性化护理方面的潜力。最后，我们确定了服务技术平台开发和测试中出现的一些独特挑战，并为未来的研究领域提供了建议。
Technologies that have the potential to improve the quality of mental health services are developing at a phenomenal rate. In the current paper, experts from a wide array of disciplines and settings share their perspectives, experiences, and visions for technology-assisted assessment and treatment of serious mental illness in the present and not-too-distant future. First, we examine how technological advancements may help consumers better understand and utilize complex treatment systems, obtain information on mental health conditions and viable interventions, enhance treatment engagement, learn and maintain effective coping strategies, overcome some of the barriers associated with stigma, reduce treatment costs, and increase treatment access and outcomes. We then discuss the advantages of using ubiquitous mobile devices and mobile health approaches specifically, highlighting their potential in facilitating real-place/real-time individualized care. Finally, we identify some of the unique challenges emerging in the development and testing of technological platforms for services, providing suggestions for areas for future research.
