Digital Health Technology in Mental Health

Digital Health Technology in Mental Health is becoming widely accepted by health care practitioners in Canada and the United States. Online health questionnaires, checklists, schedules or psychometric assessments can be used in initial interviews or to monitor treatments as they have scoring information as well interpretation guidelines.

As a health care professional in British Columbia, I have noticed that these types of tools are still being used in paper form when we have become so vastly improved in technology. Why are we continuously adding extra work on our plates with Manually Scoring and lengthy Interpretations or Reporting? For example, lets take a look at the Personality Inventory for DSM-5.

The best case scenario is to have patients complete these tools in the moment via a Tablet or Smartphone. This is when you will reap the best or most authentic results. From there, you can then go ahead and make a full assessment and determine which treatment plan will best serve the patient. Thus, improving patient care.

Online health questionnaires, checklists, schedules or psychometric assessments can be easily built in the FactFinder Solution powered by Jitsutech. The major benefit is Automatic Scoring with Feedback which will save you a ton of personal time and the ability to see patient trends with Longitudinal Studies.
