Although there has been a gradual change over the past 20 years in the recognition and public acceptance of the importance of mental health problems, there is a persistent translational gap between preclinical research and psychiatric treatment. Novel strategies are being implemented to utilise technology and AI to detect, monitor, and treat mental health issues. In this event, we will discuss how we might use AI and other technologies to aid clinicians in diagnosis and treatment; to improve patient safety; and to recognise early on the acute worsening of mental states.
