“…Positive features include enhanced client access (Evans et al, 1986;Swinson et al, 1995), the provision of immediate crisis support when required (Coman, 1996(Coman, , 1997Hunt, 1993) and the ability to provide support between face-to-face counselling sessions (Coman, 1996(Coman, , 1997Flynn et al, 1992). The anonymity that telephone counselling affords participants is another advantage (Evans et al, 1984(Evans et al, , 1986.…”

“…Clients resistant to attending face-to-face counselling for any reason may be supported by telephone counselling until such time as they are ready for these sessions (Swinson et al, 1995). Telephone counselling can also be beneficial by providing brief counselling and support between face-to-face sessions (Coman, 1996(Coman, , 1997Flynn et al, 1992). Clients who experience relapses and become anxious or depressed between programmed face-to-face counselling sessions may seek help via telephone counselling.…”

“…Mobile telephones have been found to facilitate in vivo exposure treatment of driving phobias by allowing clients to drive further unaccompanied than would otherwise be the case (Flynn, Taylor & Pollard, 1992;Levine & Wolpe, 1980;Rovetto, 1983). Mobile telephones have been found to be a useful resource for some driving phobics who may have difficulty making the transition from driving accompanied to driving alone (Flynn et al, 1992).…”

“…Another feature of telephone counselling is its usefulness for supportive counselling prior to, and between, face-to-face counselling sessions (Flynn et al, 1992;Swinson et al, 1995). Clients resistant to attending face-to-face counselling for any reason may be supported by telephone counselling until such time as they are ready for these sessions (Swinson et al, 1995).…”

This paper describes Australian counselling services which use the telephone as the medium for counselling delivery. It provides a background to telephone counselling and describes uses as reported in the research and clinical literature. Special considerations in utilising the telep to provide counselling are discussed. The paper also reviews the clinical and research literature to determine which counselling techniques are most applicable for use over the telephone.

“…The use of technology in psychiatry dates back to early 90’s [12], but recently some studies have used more modern digital platforms to actively and passively collect data from patients, to investigate markers, or to predict new episodes of disorders. Most of these studies focus on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, such as MONARCA [13], CONBRIO [14], FOCUS [15], and Beiwe [16].…”

BackgroundMental and behavioral disorders are the main cause of disability worldwide. However, their diagnosis is challenging due to a lack of reliable biomarkers; current detection is based on structured clinical interviews which can be biased by the patient’s recall ability, affective state, changing in temporal frames, etc. While digital platforms have been introduced as a possible solution to this complex problem, there is little evidence on the extent of usability and usefulness of these platforms. Therefore, more studies where digital data is collected in larger scales are needed to collect scientific evidence on the capacities of these platforms. Most of the existing platforms for digital psychiatry studies are designed as monolithic systems for a certain type of study; publications from these studies focus on their results, rather than the design features of the data collection platform. Inevitably, more tools and platforms will emerge in the near future to fulfill the need for digital data collection for psychiatry. Currently little knowledge is available from existing digital platforms for future data collection platforms to build upon.ObjectiveThe objective of this work was to identify the most important features for designing a digital platform for data collection for mental health studies, and to demonstrate a prototype platform that we built based on these design features.MethodsWe worked closely in a multidisciplinary collaboration with psychiatrists, software developers, and data scientists and identified the key features which could guarantee short-term and long-term stability and usefulness of the platform from the designing stage to data collection and analysis of collected data.ResultsThe key design features that we identified were flexibility of access control, flexibility of data sources, and first-order privacy protection. We also designed the prototype platform Non-Intrusive Individual Monitoring Architecture (Niima), where we implemented these key design features. We described why each of these features are important for digital data collection for psychiatry, gave examples of projects where Niima was used or is going to be used in the future, and demonstrated how incorporating these design principles opens new possibilities for studies.ConclusionsThe new methods of digital psychiatry are still immature and need further research. The design features we suggested are a first step to design platforms which can adapt to the upcoming requirements of digital psychiatry.
