The Technology & Aging Lab at McLean Hospital studies how digital tools can impact the psychiatric care of older adults. Our lab is currently investigating digital diagnosis, tech-enhanced therapeutic approaches, and the implementation and integration of technology into the process of patient care. Our global collaborations span both academia and industry and our current work includes digital phenotyping, health, digitally-guided treatment decision making, and the ethics of technology in psychiatry.
The mission of our lab is to be a harbor of global expertise in the area of digital geriatric mental health. |
COVID-19
With the COVID-19 pandemic placing digital tools at the forefront, our lab is actively involved in clinical initiatives, data collection, and research around monitoring clinical status remotely and minimizing direct contact between patients, caregivers, and providers.
