“…With the arrival and the rapid proliferation and penetration of the smartphone (currently, 2.53 billion people use smartphones [43]), and the increase in functionality in the past years (e.g., connectivity, processing capacity and memory, detection capabilities), the range of mobile applications for mental health interventions is rapidly expanding (e.g., [44,45]). This rapid growth has opened a large number of possibilities in many areas of medical care but especially in mental health [22,46]. If mobile devices, technology and mobile computing have dramatically impacted (mental) health to the point of coining the term m-health [18], the use of video game technology as an innovative way to treat psychological treatments is also a reality [47].…”

This work identifies major areas of knowledge and proposes a set of relevant dimensions by area that must be taken into account in the design and delivery of context-aware mobile applications for mental health interventions. We argue that much of the related research has focused only on a few dimensions, paying little or no attention to others and, most importantly, to potential relationships between them. Our belief is that the improvement of the effectiveness of mobile interventions to support mental health necessarily implies that developers and therapists comprehensively consider the interaction between the proposed dimensions. Taking as a starting point the three areas of knowledge (Technology, Context, and Mental Health), we re-examine each area to identify relevant dimensions, discuss the relationships between them and finally draw a series of considerations. The resulting considerations can help therapists and developers to devise, design, and generate custom mobile applications in a way that increases the motivation and engagement of patients and, therefore, the effectiveness of psychological treatments.

Background: Mental health literacy is important as it relates to understanding mental illness, increasing help-seeking efficacy, and reducing mental illness-related stigma. One method to improve the mental health literacy of young people is a digital video intervention. Aims: A scoping review was conducted to map existing research in the area of digital video interventions for mental health literacy among young people. Methods: The scoping review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR checklist. All results were screened based on our inclusion criteria. Results: Seventeen studies were selected for analysis. In most studies (n ¼ 14), a digital video was the only intervention whereas three studies took a multi-intervention approach. Only two of the digital video interventions were co-created with people with mental illness or university students. All studies showed positive results in favor of digital video interventions in at least one component of mental health literacy or compared to one of the comparison conditions. Conclusions: Digital video interventions represent effective tools for enhancing mental health literacy. However, there is a need for active involvement of end-users in co-creation and to attend to the production quality so that the digital video intervention is as relevant, informed, and effective as possible.

“…Participants were more satisfied and likely to sign consent forms when they were explained by the conversational agents. In the specific case of MHL, [46] presents a survey of technologies to foster mental health literacy, among others, they underline the use of embodied conversational agents. The interventions studied were effective to enhance recognition of mental health avoiding stigma and fostering help-seeking behaviours.…”

Recent advances in spoken language technology, artificial intelligence, and conversational interface design, coupled with the emergence of smart devices, have increased the possibilities of using conversational interfaces for a growing range of application domains. These interfaces are currently applied in the healthcare domain in a range of innovative tasks that allow to provide a more natural an user-friendly human-machine communication, promote patient participation in their own care, and help and support medical professionals. This chapter provides a detailed description of the great potential for the use of conversational interfaces for the specific area of mental health by means of the description of their most valuable applications in this domain and the open challenges for future research.
