ABSTRACT

Digital mental health solutions are now well recognized as critical to solving the global mental health crisis. As research accelerates, it is now clear that solutions ranging from computer-based therapy programs to virtual reality headsets and smartphone apps to large language model chatbots are of interest, feasible, and hold exciting potential to improve mental health. Now the next stage in this research is to consider the next generation of scientific and clinic questions around are these new approaches equitable, valid, effective, implementable, efficacious, and even cost effective. This article outlines several of the new frontiers for the next generation of research and introduces JMIR’s partnership with the Society of Digital Psychiatry to further advance these aims.
