UCL Aries Study

Tweeting on e-health for psychosis, including our development and evaluation study of an App for Recovery in Early Intervention Services (ARIES)

Results of our feasibility trial of an Android smartphone app to support self-maangement in early intervention service in psychosis: feasible and acceptable, but room for improvement in useage rates.

A thread on our new #digitalmentalhealth #digitalpsychosis paper, on @AriesStudyUCL feasibility trial of a supported self-management app for early intervention in psychosis services

Dr Mathijs Lucassen @MathijsLucassen “The digital health world is like a Wild West” How can people navigate available options and distinguish between evidence based interventions from unknown interventions? #MindTech2019 @NIHR_MindTech

[ani de la prida @anidelaprida]

Dangers of running ahead without proper evaluation-yes! I think an important question is why NICE is pushing ahead without evidence that this is helpful or effective, and without digital tools to support. We should be learning from mistakes in IAPT #MindTech2019 #cyberpsychology

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

Here's a typical distribution curve of engagement with digital health interventions over time: there's a high level of engagement initially, but this decreases exponentially over time.

What needs to happen for this to change?

Recommend following this today - this has to be the critical question for digital in the NHS!

“We are not in any position to oppose a digital future in mental health, but it’s our job to make sure it’s not a shit one.” New by me today on how we can make digital for #mentalheath both good and also better https://t.co/tUaZICejez

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

Starting at 3.20pm our second #DigitalMHNextSteps panel discussion:

Research on implementing digital tools in to mental health services.

Chaired by @soniajohnson with @VictoriaBetton, @AndrFon, Ceri Owen & @DrG_NHS

https://t.co/Xx8k57DARK

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

Now it’s Ceri Dare from @MentalHealthPRU: What can be done, including by researchers, to make digital mental tools more accessible to those using them and to help increase implementation and engagement in real world settings? #DigitalMHNextSteps https://t.co/Xx8k57DARK

[Dr Golnar Aref-Adib #speakout @golnararef]

Can we use digital interventions more strategically to help people optimise their toolkit? @DrG_NHS @soniajohnson #DigitalMHNextSteps @Mental_Elf

[The McPin Foundation @McPinFoundation]

Interested in digital #mentalhealth tools - how to ensure they are accessible and implemented well?

👉Check out this thread covering the expert panel from the #digitalMHNextSteps conference.

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

We are back from lunch at #DigitalMHNextSteps with Golnar Aref-Adib @docgolnar who is going to talk about:

Factors affecting implementation of digital health interventions for ppl w psychosis or bipolar disorder, & their family & friends

It's time to talk: #Implementation!

[NIHR MindTech HRC @NIHR_MindTech]

At the #MindTech2019 symposium, @DDEbert @TheISRII will be presenting on Harnessing digital solutions to tackle mental health problems in university students – The WHO World Mental Health College Student Initiative For further information visit: https://t.co/Qc0Ckk8dLz

[Dr Cassie M Hazell (she/her) @DrCMHazell]

Thank you to @soniajohnson and the @AriesStudyUCL team for a great event focussing on the #implementation issue in #digital #mentalhealth
My takeaways:
Digital should not be used for the sake of it - it should have a purpose. And we must not forget the system level barriers!

[Dr Cassie M Hazell (she/her) @DrCMHazell]

#Engagement is a potential issue for taking @AriesStudyUCL forward:
“Half of Pps stopped using the app after a couple of months”.
#DigitalMHNextSteps

[Sonia Johnson @soniajohnson]

As part of @AriesStudyUCL we have reviewed the methods that have been used to investigate digital mental health tools - RCTs still dominant, with some methodological adaptations such as online recruitment. Hoping to publish this review of methods soon.

Glad to attend the #DigitalMHNextSteps event kicked off by @soniajohnson. Such a pleasure to hear about the outcomes of @AriesStudyUCL, the project I was involved in as a honorary research assistant almost two years ago. Great to hear about @EMPOWER_EWS as well!

[UCL Aries Study @AriesStudyUCL]

Great to be able to present how our @AriesStudyUCL feasibility trial went today at our dissemination event - here's an excellent thread summarising it #DigitalMHNextSteps

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

@soniajohnson @AriesStudyUCL @andygumley @EMPOWER_EWS @mariagiorgalli @MarkOneinFour @djrobotham @Lucia_Valmaggia @MentalHealthPRU @UCLPsychiatry @tomsteare @MentalhealthMSc Our first speakers at #DigitalMHNextSteps are Prof @soniajohnson Director of @MentalHealthPRU & Thomas Steare @tomsteare Research Assistant at @UCLPsychiatry who will be presenting the @AriesStudyUCL

And this is a video of me giving it https://t.co/q56J9fQKTu

[Mark Brown @MarkOneinFour]

This is the text of the talk I just gave at #DigitalMHNextSteps: "What will it take to get digital tools into regular use in #mentalhealth services, and what could researchers do to help make this work?" https://t.co/auwMzyMKpb
