These digital health technologies offer the potential of accessible and scalable interventions that can augment traditional care.

First, we outline the relevance of recent technological advances to mental health research and care, by detailing how smartphones, social media, artificial intelligence and virtual reality present new opportunities for "digital phenotyping" and remote intervention.
limitation: Historical evidence reading: the cited study may be limited by its design, population, period, or setting, and later research may report different effects.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0064 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
