“…Extant studies have shown that mental health outpatients have the relevant technological infrastructure to access Internet and mobile interventions. Cell phone ownership in this population meets or exceeds the national average (Campbell et al, 2014, Torous et al, 2014a, Torous et al, 2014b). Many of these phones are smartphones (Torous et al, 2014a, Torous et al, 2014b) although mental health outpatients might be slightly more likely to share phones than the general population (Campbell et al, 2014).…”

A growing number of Internet sites and mobile applications are being developed intended for use in clinical practice. However, during the development process (e.g., creating features and determining use cases), the needs and interests of providers are often overlooked. We explored providers' interests using a mixed-methods approach incorporating both qualitative and quantitative research methods. A first study used an interview approach to identify the challenges providers faced, tools they used, and any use of computers and apps specifically. Fifteen providers from both the United States and Canada completed the interview and recordings were transcribed and analyzed using a constructivist grounded theory approach. Four primary themes were identified including challenges, potential tools, access and usability. A second study used a brief survey completed by 132 providers at a large healthcare system to explore current use of and potential interest in Internet and mobile technologies. Although many providers (80.9%) reported recommending some form of technology to patients, these were mostly Internet websites that were predominantly informational/psychoeducational in nature. Overall, these studies combine to suggest a strong interest in websites and apps for use in clinical settings while highlighting potential areas (ease of use, patient security and privacy) that should be considered in the design and deployment of these tools.

Resumen. Analizamos la literatura académica internacional centrada en los teléfonos móviles y las terapias psicosociales. Identificamos los artículos publicados entre 2000 y 2015 en las bases de datos disponibles en Internet; y ponemos en evidencia las escasas investigaciones con personas vulnerables. La literatura especializada en terapias psicosociales muestra interés en las utilidades de los teléfonos móviles en pacientes en general, con mayor producción desde la psicología y en menor medida desde el trabajo social. Destacan las investigaciones desarrolladas en los Estados Unidos y su escasa existencia en España, donde se discuten las competencias del trabajador social en este campo. Identificamos oportunidades y limitaciones en cuanto a la privacidad de los datos, al acceso a los teléfonos móviles y a su uso; para llegar a poblaciones aisladas o de escasos recursos o para facilitar el acceso a los servicios sociales y de salud. Concluimos con posibles orientaciones, hipótesis y objetivos en el diseño de nuevas investigaciones. IntroducciónLas personas vulnerables son aquellas susceptibles de sufrir maltrato debido a sus condiciones de desventaja social, económica, cultural o psicológica; entre las cuales se encuentran los ancianos, las personas discapacitadas, las mujeres, los niños, los pueblos indígenas, los trabajadores inmigrantes, los refugiados políticos, las minorías sexuales o las personas detenidas. Mechanic y Tanner (2007) afirman que la vulnerabilidad se debe a problemas de desarrollo, incapacidades personales, condición social desfavorecida, insuficiencia de las redes interpersonales, al ambiente social degradado y a las complejas interacciones de estos factores. Existe la Brecha Digital que excluye a aquellas personas desconectadas y sin acceso a los teléfonos móviles pero también la Brecha del Conocimiento que excluye a aquellas personas incapaces de utilizar sus teléfonos móviles para el progreso personal o

“…MH app demand is high across censusdesignated areas, generations, and, to a degree, age, with less use by older adults [65]. Text messaging may be higher in urban areas [66] than rural areas [67].Psych apps are used mainly for many functions, including to: 1) communicate with other patients, caregivers, social supports, or providers; 2) augment psychotherapy and medical support with journaling, diaries, symptom tracking tools, and psychoeducation between clinic appointments; 3) (smart) monitor, that is, to use tools to predict relapse behavior or worsening affective symptoms, through sensors and data activity; 4) practice self-assessment and care through reflection about their symptoms; 5) make learning more interactive than traditional paper homework; and 6) organize, track, and thus monitor long-term their activities, moods, and therapy homework [22,68,69]. Since patients often forget key events between visits, logging "symptoms, affect, behavior, and cognitions close in time to experience" (known as ecological momentary assessment; EMA) helps with reporting of symptoms [70,71].…”

Background: Web and Internet-based resources are remarkably popular with the public, patients and others as a way to access mental health information, tools for self-care, advice/consultation from a professional, and providerdirected treatments.Objective: This paper provides a framework of a spectrum that includes person-centered health education options (conceptual endpoint), patient and caregiver-centered mental health care interventions (evidence-based literature review), and more formal provider-directed treatments (conceptual endpoint). Methods:The evidence-based literature review was focused on treatment studies, using a minimum of three key words and the 1996-2015 period, resulting in 13,612 articles. This was reduced to 388 (title words used), to 125 (abstracts for methods, design, and outcomes) and 40 (evidence-based criteria of guidelines). Results:Technology is frequently used, is readily accessible and satisfies persons, patients, and caregivers. Its impact on openness to engage with others and begin self-care appears very positive; its ability to help people change behaviors and engage additional clinical services appears modest, though this is inadequately evaluated. Formal treatments over the Internet, asynchronous care models, or traditional video-based synchronous services are as good as or better than in-person services, though an incomplete range of services has been evaluated. Relatively few treatment studies assess outcomes, compare in-person and e-MentalHealth care, and or compare technology-based care options to one another; hybrid models of care have emerged, but have rarely been studied. Conclusions:For persons or patients not in care, use of the internet for common, non-acute problems appears to work, though a one-time clinical evaluation may help them place options in context. Clinicians and patients should specifically plan how to use technology and exercise sound judgment, based on guidelines when available. More research is needed on the application of new technologies to clinical care, with randomized trials and health services studies for effectiveness suggested. Internet-based mental health (MH) education and services are on the rise, as more patients, caregivers, and MH providers are using the Internet. This is driven by consumers or persons at-large, before they become patients in traditional services, and transitions our thinking from clinic-based care past patient-centered care to person-centered care known as participatory medicine [19][20][21]. MH-related, technology-based services exist on a continuum: self-help/support groups -well-prepared materials for patient psychoeducation and provider professional education -tips for assessment and selfcare (e.g., depression) -informal provider consultation online -asynchronous communication with providers -MH services with professionals like teleMH ((TMH) care or; Internet-based cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].
