“…An interesting area of research that uses an asynchronous modality to provide clinical information is through social media which continues to be a valuable e-tool for mental health patients and providers [ 16 ]. As more mental health professionals engage in participatory medicine [ 17 ], the more important it becomes to promote media skills literacy around mental health to trainees [ 18 ].…”

Purpose of review Patients, providers, and trainees should understand the current types of asynchronous technologies that can be used to enhance the delivery and accessibility of mental health care. Asynchronous telepsychiatry (ATP) removes the need for real time communication between the clinician and patient, which improves efficiency and enables quality specialty care. ATP can be applied as distinct consultative and supervisory models in clinician-to-clinician , clinician-to-patient , and patient-to-mobile health settings. Recent findings This review is based on research literature and the authors’ clinical and medical training, using experiences with asynchronous telepsychiatry from before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Our studies demonstrate that ATP provides positive outcomes in the clinician-to-patient model with demonstrated feasibility, outcomes and patient satisfaction. One author’s medical education experience in the Philippines during COVID-19 highlights the potential to utilize asynchronous technology in areas with limitations to online learning. We emphasize the need to teach media skills literacy around mental health to students, coaches, therapists, and clinicians when advocating for mental well-being. Several studies have demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating asynchronous e-tools such as self-guided multimedia and artificial intelligence for data collection at the clinician-to-clinician and patient-to-mobile health level. In addition, we offer fresh perspectives on recent trends in asynchronous telehealth in wellness, applying concepts such as “tele-exercise” and “tele-yoga.” Summary Asynchronous technologies continue to be integrated into mental health care services and research. Future research must ensure that the design and the usability of this technology puts the patient and provider first.

“…If ATP were to become a regular clinical service, clinician recommendations could go from a 2-week to a 24-h turn-around time [ 28 ]. Prior reviews have also consolidated the breadth and potential of asynchronous e-tools such as video games and e-therapy [ 16 , 39 ].…”

“…Several studies, for example, bolster the potential of gaming to augment cognitive capacity in both children and adults with schizophrenia 34 . Chatbots and voice agents have become increasingly empathetic and are for some users are able to offer some of the benefits of peer support from a small handheld device 35 . With so many validated styles, determining usability is tied to personal preference.…”

Actionable health app evaluation: translating expert frameworks into objective metrics

As use and availability of mobile health apps have increased, so too has the need for a thorough, accessible framework for app evaluation. The American Psychiatric Association’s app evaluation model has emerged as a way to critically assess an app by considering accessibility, privacy and security, clinical foundation, engagement, and interoperability; however, there is no centralized database where users can view how various health apps perform when assessed via the APA model. In this perspective, we propose and outline our effort to translate the APA’s model for the evaluation of health apps into a set of objective metrics that can be published online, making the framework actionable and accessible to a broad audience. The questions from the APA model were operationalized into 105 objective questions that are either binary or numeric. These questions serve as the foundation of an online database, where app evaluation consists of answering these 105 questions and can be crowdsourced. While the database has yet to be published and crowdsourced, initial internal testing demonstrated excellent interrater reliability. The database proposed here introduces a public and interactive approach to data collection that is guided by the APA model. The published product enables users to sort through the many mobile health apps and filter them according to individual preferences and priorities, making the ever-growing health app market more navigable.

“…Acrescenta-se a isso o fato de que a diminuição das barreiras geográficas, temporais e financeiras, o auto alcance proporcionado pela internet e a facilidade de acesso aos diversos formatos (apps, e-book, web sites) proporcionaram uma rápida difusão do conhecimento relacionado à saúde mental desenvolvidos por profissionais da área (Chan et al, 2019). No entanto, a falta de pesquisas científicas e evidências clínicas comprometem a validade e confiabilidade desses aplicativos.…”

Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), quase 1 bilhão de pessoas viviam com algum transtorno mental em 2019. Nesse contexto, apesar do crescimento no uso de smartphones e o consequente aumento da oferta de aplicativos oferecendo serviço de suporte e orientação quanto à saúde mental, os E-Mental Health, os estudos voltados para a eficácia destes softwares são escassos. Esta revisão integrativa buscou identificar os benefícios e as limitações quanto ao uso de softwares aplicados a saúde mental. Para esta revisão bibliográfica integrativa exploratória foram pesquisados artigos nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine (PUBMED) e SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), utilizou-se os descritores em ciência da Saúde – (DeSC) e indexadores – Medical Subject Headings – (MeSH) considerando as palavras-chave: saúde mental; programas, e seus respectivos termos na língua inglesa: “Mental Health”; “Software”, com os operadores booleanos: “AND” e “OR”. Conclui-se que apesar do grande número de E-Mental Health, embora tenha se observado uma expansão dos softwares voltados para a saúde mental, não há um número significativo de pesquisas e, consequentemente, evidências, quanto a eficácia destes programas.
