Our new sys_rev: Only one intervention was examined both in research and real-world "settings". The transition resulted in an inability to replicate positive results. Led by one of my PhD students, Mayan Cohen. #implementationscience #digitalhealth https://t.co/Oy2sa8CrUg

Implementation science in behavioral health focuses too much on asking why efficacious interventions don’t work in reality. We could advance much more by asking what was wrong and biased in the research that found it to be efficacious. #mentalhealth #behavioralsciences

Proper product design can significantly boost user engagement in unguided digital interventions📣 We achieved a 69% completion rate in a digital parent training program, compared to 28% using the standard eLearning platform. Details in this paper: https://t.co/5ls1oIIiwf

A great opportunity for those looking to deploy inexpensive #digitalhealth interventions using common survey platforms. DON'T MISS OUT! Time: Nov 21 10am EST. More details and registry link : https://t.co/YPRCtHg9x2 #mentalhealth #isrii

I am very excited to chair this event showcasing how to build a #digitalhealth intervention almost for free. Truly remarkable opportunity to learn from creative researchers who built complete digital interventions on survey platforms. Help us spread the word!

In this paper I reviewed #digitalhealth tools for social and peer support in perinatal #mentalhealth. Loneliness and lack in support are extremely related with this condition. To help, we must target the right mechanisms of change: https://t.co/oL865qExjW

Important paper below. I believe there is almost no room for wait list control when studying a #digitalhealth intervention, as there is an interaction between treatment and trial setting that boosts treatment effect but does not impact those who get nothing. @JohnTorousMD

e-Therapeutic Alliance: Integrating facets unique to the digital space contribute above conventional factors to understanding alliance. A new paper by @OhadAshur, my talented PhD student. #digitalhealth #mHealth #eHealth #mentalhealth https://t.co/oHimpu2Vkr

How AI might eventually lead to humans investing significantly more time in supporting each other? Check out my latest post on Psychology Today. #Psychology #ArtificialInteligence #Humankind #mhealth

These are three crucial questions that, in my opinion, should be considered when selecting the appropriate mental health support. Full explanation in my new blog post: https://t.co/gJdf9Rknu6

Last days to register to the first international congress on #parenting #support. Great program with access to most timely presentations for 3 months. My PhD students and I will talk about ways of making #digitalhealth parenting #interventions more #engaging. See U there!

My new blog post about #populism and man's search for #relevance. It all relates to a mouse and an elephant, details are in the post... #humanity https://t.co/8swlpEjiAd

I was extremely happy to meet the amazing team at the Research Center for Child Psychiatry in Turku Finland and lecture about “humanity’s search for relevance – how technological progress shapes our world”. Until next time! @voimaperheet

Is your country represented as a presenter in the #ICEPS2023 Congress 6-8 June?🌏🌍🌏 Internationally renown researchers & practitioners in #evidencebased #parentsupport are presenting keynotes & symposia at this truly global online event. Register: https://t.co/a54PIaYYMh

New McKinsey survey: Gen Z report poor #Mentalhealth and all related aspects compared with prior generations. They spend much more time on #socialmedia, and experience more negative effects. #digitalhealth https://t.co/bCuj7Hxze3

This paper shows that #loneliness did not impact #engagement with an app targeting #suicidal ideation /#depression. But It does not seem that loneliness reduced. I would be happy if our apps would target the reasons for #mentalillness. #mheallth https://t.co/0YX8oiJAXA

40% of U.S adults who make more money (+$75k) report to be constantly #online. So being online is correlated with our ability to become valuable, but also to poor #mentalhealth 😖. This actually makes sense. #Internet #wellbeing https://t.co/74xd822bHd
