Barriers such as stigma and access issues prevent 60% of Canadians with mental health issues from seeking help. Saint Elizabeth Health Care's IntelligentCare™ Platform supports a range of digital health solutions for holistic health including three specific innovations: a secure social networking tool, an artificial intelligence-driven assistant that uses conversational cognitive behaviour therapy techniques, and a mobile mindfulness meditation application that generates personalized meditation suggestions. People use these self-help tools to cope with their mental health challenges. Healthcare providers are encouraged to explore the benefits and drawbacks of digital solutions for mental health, and consider the new skills, ethical implications and research opportunities that are needed when supporting patients who use these digital tools.
诸如耻辱感和就医问题等障碍，使得60%有心理健康问题的加拿大人无法寻求帮助。圣伊丽莎白医疗保健公司的智能护理™平台支持一系列促进整体健康的数字健康解决方案，包括三项具体创新：一个安全的社交网络工具、一个使用对话式认知行为疗法技术的人工智能驱动助手，以及一个生成个性化冥想建议的移动正念冥想应用程序。人们使用这些自助工具来应对他们的心理健康挑战。鼓励医疗保健提供者探索数字心理健康解决方案的利弊，并考虑在支持使用这些数字工具的患者时所需的新技能、伦理影响和研究机会。
