Perhaps a topic for A Different Day, is: what is the impact of screen time on mental health?
Imagine if your smartphone could help predict mental health issues before they become critical. In this episode of 'Quick Takes', Dr. David Gratzer teams up with Dr. John Torous to dive into the fascinating world of digital psychiatry. They explore how passive data—like your phone’s charging habits and screen time—could revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat mental illnesses, particularly schizophrenia. Curious about how this works?
They break it down with a bit of history, explaining how patient data has evolved to differentiate conditions like bipolar disorder from schizophrenia. But it's not all tech talk; ethical considerations are also on the table. How do we balance innovation with patient privacy? Dr. Gratzer and Dr. Torous tackle these tough questions, offering a balanced view of the benefits and potential pitfalls.
Whether you're a healthcare professional or just intrigued by the intersection of technology and mental health, this episode offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the future of psychiatry.
