Abstract:

Digital technologies contribute to improve patient care by monitoring medical conditions and creating personalized management or interventions of different conditions. They also allow the continuous monitoring of patients, enabling the early detection of medical and psychological conditions. Virtual psychological interventions such as teleconsultations, therapeutic games, virtual reality and mental health mobile apps have seen a rise in the last years. We will discuss the advantages, limitations and challenges of these interventions in this seminar.
