“…Moreover this extends to fitness, lifestyle and wellbeing monitoring, based on personalised preferences and goals that can be used to promote positive health, support behaviour change related to diet, exercise, and reduction of stress. Monitoring and delivering these services though personal (Harding, Ilves, & Wilson, 2015), cloud based (Sultan, 2014), mHealth (Free et al, 2013) and Internet of Things applications (Pang et al, 2015) will help to empower people to manage their health and life style more effectively, owing to reduced healthcare costs. Computational health informatics can be used on large population based data through the development of interpretable decision support models for promoting effective health policy, and intervention planning for crisis management related to disease epidemics and famine.…”

a b s t r a c tBig Data has a significant impact in modern society. In this paper we investigated the importance of Big Data in modern life, and in terms of the economy, and discussed the challenges arising from Big Data utilization. Different computational intelligence techniques have been considered as tools for Big Data analytics. We also explored the potential of the powerful combination of Big Data and Computational intelligence and identified a number of areas where novel applications in real world problems can be developed by utilizing these powerful tools and technologies. We presented a novel data modelling methodology which introduces a novel biologically inspired universal generative modelling approach called Hierarchical Spatial-Temporal State Machine (HSTSM). In this paper, we have also discussed various implications of policy, protection, valuation and commercialization related to Big Data, its applications and deployment.

“…In the UK, for instance, Prime Minister Theresa May promised 'a £67.7 million digital mental health package' (HM Government, 2017). Various articles ostensibly focused on the digital within mental health in general or psychiatry specifically attend to heterogeneous (and often mundane) information and communication technologies (ICT) such as text messaging, web sites, blogs, social media and apps (Harding et al 2015, Mohr et al 2017, Torous 2014. Mobile digital technologies have been employed not only as interventions for mental ill-health, but are on occasion positioned as a means of generating new kinds of information for psychiatrists about patients and pathologies.…”

Digitising psychiatry? Sociotechnical expectations, performative nominalism and biomedical virtue in (digital) psychiatric praxis

Digital artefacts and infrastructures have been presented as ever more urgent and necessary for mental health research and practice. Telepsychiatry, mHealth, and now digital psychiatry have been promoted in this regard, among other endeavours. Smartphone apps have formed a particular focus of promissory statements regarding the improvement of epistemic and clinical work in psychiatry. This article contextualises and historicises some of these developments. In doing so, I show how purportedly novel fields have been constituted in part through practices of ‘performative nominalism’ (whereby articulations of a neologism in relation to established and recent developments participate in producing the referent of the new term). Central to this has been implicit and explicit extolment of what I term biomedical virtues in public‐facing and professionally orientated discourse. I document how emphases on various virtues have shifted with the attention of psychiatry to different digital modalities, culminating with knowledge‐production in mental health as one significant focus.

“…1 When persons with mental distress seek assistance from health care practitioners, it is likely that many of them will already be using mental health apps. 2,3 Mental health apps offer tools for self-diagnosis, monitoring, symptom management, and treatment. 4,5 A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of apps for depression found that app users experienced a decrease in their depressive symptoms, 6 although others found that computerized cognitive behavioral therapy offers no additional benefit beyond usual clinician care.…”

“…We conducted a qualitative content analysis of mental health messages guided by the following research questions: (1) How do prominent mental health apps frame mental health and illness? (2) What does this framing suggest about the pattern and causation of mental health problems and how problems can be managed?…”
