“…A particularly influential lived experience video has been the TED talk by Eleanor Longden, that has been widely viewed (over 4 million views at the end of 2017). 109 Video streaming material is often used for mental health information among persons with severe mental illness, 62 and is being increasingly used in online programs, including as the main means of communicating content for people with persisting psychosis. 110,111 A potentially important direction for ongoing research in this area is to examine the impact of peer video vs other types of communication, and potential processes involved in this and the impact they have on persons with shared experiences.…”

The field of digital mental health is rapidly expanding with digital tools being used in assessment, intervention, and supporting self-help. The application of digital mental health to hallucinations is, however, at a very early stage. This report from a working group of the International Consortium on Hallucinations Research considers particular synergies between the phenomenon of hallucinations and digital tools that are being developed. Highlighted uses include monitoring and managing intermittently occurring hallucinations in daily life; therapeutic applications of audio and video media including virtual and augmented reality; targeting verbal aspects of hallucinations; and using avatars to represent hallucinatory voices. Although there is a well-established Internet-based peer support network, digital resources for hallucinations have yet to be implemented in routine practice. Implementation may benefit from identifying how to market resources to the broad range of populations who experience hallucinations and identifying sustainable funding models. It is envisaged that digital tools will contribute to improved self-management and service provision for people experiencing hallucinations.
