Digital Mental Health: A Practitioner's Guide
by Ives Cavalcante Passos Francisco Diego Rabelo-da-Ponte Flavio KapczinskiThis innovative book focuses on potential, limitations, and recommendations for the digital mental health landscape. Authors synthesize existing literature on the validity of digital health technologies, including smartphones apps, sensors, chatbots and telepsychiatry for mental health disorders. They also note that collecting real-time biological information is usually better than just collect filled-in forms, and that will also mitigate problems related to recall bias in clinical appointments. Limitations such as confidentiality, engagement and retention rates are moreover discussed. Presented in fifteen chapters, the work addresses the following questions: may smartphones and sensors provide more accurate information about patients’ symptoms between clinical appointments, which in turn avoid recall bias? Is there evidence that digital phenotyping could help in clinical decisions in mental health? Is there scientific evidence to support the use of mobile interventions in mental health? Digital Mental Health will help clinicians and researchers, especially psychiatrists and psychologists, to define measures and to determine how to test apps or usefulness, feasibility and efficacy in order to develop a consensus about reliability. These professionals will be armed with the latest evidence as well as prepared to a new age of mental health.
Digital Mental Health: The Future is Now
by Donald M. Hilty Davor MucićThe previous 2016 edition, "E-Mental Health," shed light on the application of telecommunications technologies to deliver mental health services remotely to people in often underserved locations due to geographic distance, and cultural or language differences. This new edition on "Digital mental health" represents a similar concept as e-mental health. However, the paradigm has changed; underserved populations are no longer the exclusive focus. The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged wider acceptance and application of the technology, expanding its use to both rural and urban areas. The expansive potential of digital mental health approaches is demonstrated in a variety of mental health contexts, highlighted through clinical examples and applications that introduce innovative strategies for technology integration. Moreover, the book outlines a framework for global cooperation, with the goal of cross-border exchange of expertise and knowledge. This book targets a broad audience, including mental health practitioners, medical and nursing students, academic researchers, technology experts, and health policymakers.

Digital Orality: Vernacular Writing in Online Spaces
by Cecelia Cutler May Ahmar Soubeika BahriThis volume showcases innovative research on dialectal, vernacular, and other forms of “oral,” speech-like writing in digital spaces. The shift from a predominantly print culture to a digital culture is shaping people's identities and relationships to one another in important ways. Using examples from distinct international contexts and language varieties (kiAmu, Lebanese, Ettounsi, Shanghai Wu, Welsh English, and varieties of American English) the authors examine how people use unexpected codes, scripts, and spellings to say something about who they are or aspire to be. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars interested in the impact of social media on language use, style, and orthography, as well as those with a broader interest in literacy, communication, language contact, and language change.
Digital Phenotyping and Mobile Sensing: New Developments in Psychoinformatics (Studies in Neuroscience, Psychology and Behavioral Economics)
by Christian Montag Harald BaumeisterThis book offers a snapshot of cutting-edge applications of mobile sensing for digital phenotyping in the field of Psychoinformatics. The respective chapters, written by authoritative researchers, cover various aspects related to the use of these technologies in health, education, and cognitive science research. They share insights both into established applications of mobile sensing (such as predicting personality or mental and behavioral health on the basis of smartphone usage patterns) and emerging trends. Machine learning and deep learning approaches are discussed, and important considerations regarding privacy risks and ethical issues are assessed. In addition to essential background information on various technologies and theoretical methods, the book also presents relevant case studies and good scientific practices, thus addressing researchers and professionals alike. To cite Thomas R. Insel, who wrote the foreword to this book: “Patients will only use digital phenotyping if it solves a problem, perhaps a digital smoke alarm that can prevent a crisis. Providers will only use digital phenotyping if it fits seamlessly into their crowded workflow. If we can earn public trust, there is every reason to be excited about this new field. Suddenly, studying human behavior at scale, over months and years, is feasible.”

Digitale Gamebooks in der Bildung: Spielerisch Lehren Und Lernen Mit Interaktiven Stories
by Bodo Möslein-Tröppner Willi BernhardSerious Games und spielerisches Lernen erfreuen sich im Bildungsbereich einer immer größeren Nachfrage. Dies ist nicht verwunderlich, schließlich praktizieren alle Menschen das Spiel in unterschiedlichen Weisen gleich von Geburt an. Wir wissen heute, dass Spielen eine der effektivsten Lernformen ist.Kollaborative digitale Gamebooks ermöglichen es, als Lehrpersonen auf eine solche Nachfrage zu reagieren, ohne externe Spieldesigner und Software-Entwickler herbeiziehen zu müssen. Inhaltlich können sie damit ihre eigenen Wissensgebiete in Eigenregie spielerisch, didaktisch und technisch aufbereiten, wobei das Spielgeschehen nur durch ihre eigenen Ideen begrenzt ist und nicht etwa durch technische Gegebenheiten. Beim kollaborativen Gamebook handelt es sich um ein digitales interaktives Spiel bei dem in der kompletten Spielumgebung durch Textkomponenten ein Vorstellungsbild im Kopf des Spielers erzeugt wird – wie bei einem Buch. Der Leser (= der Lernende) nimmt die Rolle des Spielers ein und kann dabei direkten Einfluss auf die Handlung des Geschehens nehmen. Im Spielverlauf stößt er immer wieder auf andere Spieler, mit denen er kollaborieren muss, um vorwärts zu kommen. Die Handlungen im Spiel können vom Lernenden direkt beeinflusst werden. Auf diese Weise wird Wissen spielerisch erfahren, motivierend erlernt und praktisch angewendet.In diesem Buch wird erstmals das neue Format des Gamebooks für den Unterricht im Game-based-learning-Kontext an (Hoch-)Schulen vorgestellt. Die Integration spielerischer, kollaborativer Elemente sowie das Konzept der Selbstwirksamkeit im Bildungskontext ist weltweit einzigartig. Die Erstellung des kollaborativen digitalen Gamebooks ist direkt durch die Lehrperson möglich; Informatiker und Gameentwickler werden nicht benötigt.
