There has been increasing interest in the use of smartphone applications (apps) and other consumer technology in mental health care for a number of years. However, the vision of data from apps seamlessly returned to, and integrated in, the electronic medical record (EMR) to assist both psychiatrists and patients has not been widely achieved, due in part to complex issues involved in the use of smartphone and other consumer technology in psychiatry. These issues include consumer technology usage, clinical utility, commercialization, and evolving consumer technology. Technological, legal and commercial issues, as well as medical issues, will determine the role of consumer technology in psychiatry. Recommendations for a more productive direction for the use of consumer technology in psychiatry are provided.
多年来,人们对在精神卫生保健中使用智能手机应用程序(应用)和其他消费技术的兴趣与日俱增。然而,应用程序的数据无缝返回并整合到电子病历(EMR)中以协助精神科医生和患者的愿景尚未广泛实现,部分原因是在精神病学中使用智能手机和其他消费技术涉及复杂问题。这些问题包括消费技术的使用、临床效用、商业化以及不断发展的消费技术。技术、法律和商业问题以及医学问题将决定消费技术在精神病学中的作用。本文提供了关于在精神病学中更有效地使用消费技术的建议。
