The digital revolution has significantly transformed mental health care, enhancing accessibility and enabling innovative treatment approaches. However, these advancements also present challenges, including setting clear standards for both digital and non-digital services, and addressing concerns over client confidentiality, privacy, and data protection.

To maintain and improve the quality of care, it's essential to focus on clear service standards, effective data management, robust measurement strategies, and the development of digital tools that genuinely enhance treatment outcomes.

In Part I of this two-part webinar series, eMHIC takes a close look at Singapore, Australia, China, and the United Arab Emirates to understand how each is progressing in integrating digital mental health into mainstream care.

Key Discussion Points:

• How are different countries progressing in integrating digital mental health into mainstream care?
• How are clinicians navigating the shift toward adopting digital tools to enhance treatment outcomes?
• What factors influence their confidence in recommending these solutions, and how can barriers—such as concerns about safety and efficacy—be addressed?
• What types of digital solutions are being routinely used, and how are emerging technologies like AI—such as machine learning and NLP—being leveraged to enhance care?
• How do demographics (age, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic factors) influence patient engagement with digital mental health recommendations?
• What progress has been made in establishing regulatory standards to ensure the quality, safety, and ethical use of digital mental health tools, including patient/client confidentiality and data protection?
• How can we improve data measurement and collection to enhance the quality of care?

This webinar is hosted in partnership with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) in Singapore.
