Mobiles and internet link to help the mentally ill - Technology - smh.com.au - 1 views

    Mobiles and internet link to help the mentally ill * * Email * Printer friendly version * Normal font * Large font Louise Hall Health Reporter June 29, 2008 Advertisement MOBILE phones and the internet will be used to help up to 2 million Australians manage their mental health problems. People can use the technology to track their wellbeing on a day-to-day basis by recording their mood, sleep, activities, medication, physical activity and drug and alcohol use. The $1.88 million system is being developed by Sydney's Black Dog Institute as part of a growing move towards "e-therapy" as a way to cope with the chronic shortage of services for the mentally ill. Using secure messaging via the internet or SMS on their mobile phone, patients report their condition daily. Information is fed back on their condition and alerts are sent to their phones or computers when things aren't going well, along with links to appropriate self-help tools. Black Dog's senior research fellow Judy Proudfoot said the system would assist those at risk of depression, anxiety or stress to recognise symptoms and seek support, as well as help existing sufferers manage their illness. "If a patient reports that he or she has been feeling anxious and not sleeping well, they would receive an alert pointing to tools for managing anxiety and giving tips for sleeping better," Dr Proudfoot said. "The alert may also recommend discussing the issues with a GP or clinician and the patient can print out the report and take it with them." She said most mental health programs, whether they were delivered face to face, by phone or via the web, relied on people monitoring their symptoms or activities. She said the new system was an important initiative allowing "just-in-time" monitoring and immediate intervention on a daily basis. "Quite often an individual's recall of symptoms, mood or behaviour over several days or weeks can be poor, which not only affects the accuracy of their repor

Paralysed man walks in the virtual world - web - Technology - smh.com.au - 1 views

  • Ushiba says Second Life could motivate patients with severe paralysis, who are often too depressed to undergo rehabilitation.

      Interesting correlation between technology and overcoming psychological barriers like depression. Interesting to know that these people come out of their isolation, not having anything - and many of us having everything and still being depressed.
  • A paralysed man using only his brain waves has been able to manipulate a virtual Internet character, Japanese researchers said Monday, calling it a world first.

    "Second Life is an increasingly popular world in which people - and animals - are represented by animated virtual characters called avatars and do everything from social activities to shopping. Interesting correlation between technology and overcoming psychological barriers like depression. Interesting to know that these people come out of their isolation, not having anything - and many of us having everything and still being depressed.

The Benefits of Facebook "Friends:" Social Capital and College Students' Use of Online ... - 0 views

  • Facebook usage was found to interact with measures of psychological well-being, suggesting that it might provide greater benefits for users experiencing low self-esteem and low life satisfaction.
    • Hans de Kraker
       
      I have discovered that there are psychiatrists tracking their patients via social networks like Facebook. The unprecendented connectivity and "new transparency" gives them insights they would not have had otherwise. Interesting example of what you can only do on the web.
