HRI Listens

In this free event, we sought public input on digital mental health and substance use health care. From mindfulness and meditation apps to gamified tools and virtual therapy programs, the objective of this event was to capture public input about what’s working and where improvements can be made. Together we aim to gain new perspectives on mental health and substance use health apps and digital tools.

Through a pre-event survey and real-time feedback collected at the event, findings will inform future research plans and can provide guidance to developers, researchers, and health care providers.

Our panelists include persons with lived experience, as well as experts in e-health innovations and clinical research.
