Mental Health & Addiction Care: The Promises and Perils of Technology

Technology has reshaped our society, offering a solution to nearly everything – from microfinance to shopping. As venture capital-backed startups turn to technology to solve our mental health crisis, promises of “increased access,” “scalability,” and “improved user experience” offer new solutions to age-old problems. But are there costs to this paradigm shift? Changing regulations, privacy concerns, access for those with severe mental illness, and the paradox of solving problems of loneliness and isolation with smartphones are key concerns that must be addressed. Our panelists will tackle these challenging questions to provide a nuanced and balanced view of what technology can and cannot do in addressing mental health and addiction care in the United States, and the world.
