On-call tonight for CAMHS - no suitable mental health bed available within 80 miles for young male patient on a medical ward - this is the reality of acute mental health services for young people - Christmas 2017. twitter.com/rcpsych/status…

Delighted to see that #MindTech AQUA trial evaluation #QbTest has provided pivotal evidence to support #NICE recommendations for digital technology in the assessment and diagnosis of #ADHD in children and young people ⁦ nice.org.uk/news/articles/…

This week we submitted written evidence to the UK government in response to a call for evidence on #screentime and its impact on education and wellbeing. 📱 @Livingstone_S led our response and outlines here in a short blog ➡️ bit.ly/screentimedysm @MindTech_Doc

Brilliant to have so many of our amazing @mrcdigitalyouth team together this week for our autumn Huddle, including some of our wonderful YPAG Sprouting Minds. Exciting findings emerging and as always, so much collective energy being channelled in the best way! @MindTech_Doc 🧠🌱

Could playing online games improve mental health services for young people? Great to see @mrcdigitalyouth SPARX team in the news this week 🤩 Read all about it here ▶️nottingham.ac.uk/news/online-ga… @MindTech_Doc @stu_dodzo @KareemKhan34 @CBabbage_ @UniofBath

Delighted to share our new paper aimed at paediatricians on the use of #QbTest in the assessment of #ADHD authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S17… @CharlotteLHall2 @NIHR_MindTech

MindTech is now 10 years old. Our aim is to support bodies like @NICEComms and bridge the gap between clinical domain and treatments for patients using digital media #RCPsychIC @MindTech_Doc

📢 The last study from my PhD at @InstituteMH @UniofNottingham has been published. What a journey and great opportunity, thanks again to all my supervisors, mentors and colleagues! @MJGroom @itiarora_3 @MindTech_Doc @notts_psych @DaniRopar @MedicineUoN doi.org/10.1016/j.cort…

@rcpsych @NICEComms Delighted to be presenting ‘Digital Mental Healthcare: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ at #RCPsychIC23 today - opening the policy debate on the risks of outsourcing digital mental health services vs. NHS enabled digital mental healthcare @NIHR_MindTech

Kicking off day 2 with our first key note: Digital mental healthcare:the good,the bad and the ugly; Professor Chris Hollis, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Digital Mental Health, Director, NIHR MindTech MedTech Co-operative, University of Nottingham #RCPsychIC

Many of the 1600 psychiatrists registered for ⁦@rcpsych⁩ #ICRCPsych2023 are here for today’s first keynote listening to ⁦@MindTech_Doc⁩ talking about the importance of tech in delivering online gamified and virtual therapies ⁦@NIHRresearch⁩

@NICEComms @MindTech_Doc The Digital Health Ecosystem. Public and private sectors #RCPsychIC

Clinical trials have been carried out with virtual reality for severe mental health illness #VR #RCPsychIC

Very few tic therapists in the UK. So almost impossible for young people to get therapy for their tics. Which is where technology can help with the model: Orbit #RCPsychIC

From ORBIT(online CBT for Tics), qbtech.com for ADHD assessment , gaming for anxiety and VR for psychosis at Oxford - tech has multiple applications for reducing time to treatment and improving care. #RCPsychIC #RCPsychIC23 @MindTech_Doc

@NIHR_MindTech @MindTech_Doc #RCPsychIC Too much expectations and hype in the digital health field. Evidence not always translates clinically. Risk of fragmentation of NHS care with different providers. @QbtechADHD is now more widely used.

Interesting presentation by @MindTech_Doc on the role of Mindtech in developing the evidence base for digital mental health apps. Must ensure that we also consider the potential proliferation of standalone apps & the risk of exacerbating data silos... #RCPsychIC23 #RCPsychIC

Really fantastic to have lots of our researchers, young people and @mrcdigitalyouth team all together this week to share progress, ideas and plans. @MindTech_Doc @SelfHarmRes 🤩🧠🌱✨

I'll be talking about the many barriers parents face when their children are struggling with anxiety problems and some our recent work to try to come up with some solutions @topic_group @CoCAT_Study @iCATS_i2i @MyCats_Study

📢✨Our latest podcast is a really thought provoking and insightful discussion about neurodiversity from a personal, professional & academic level with @LucyWillingham8 @sarahdohonline @MindTech_Doc & Edmund Sonuga-Barke for #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek bit.ly/40xG9uX
