Smart tech is forever improving, more accurate, intuitive, personalised, and accessible. However, evidence of the helpfulness this technology can be to the individual is scarce.

These improvements mean clinicians can better deliver and support you and your mental health. Particular smart tech can track/ record core health aspects like sleep, activity and exercise, overall movement, light exposure (natural and digital), and menstrual cycles.

Dr Frank Iorfino’s research interests are in youth mental health and early intervention, specifically focusing on how digital health can change how services assess, manage and treat youth mental health problems.

Frank is head of the Digital Mental Health research program for the Youth Mental Health and Technology team at The Brain and Mind Centre. This program focuses on building sophisticated digital technologies through co-design that permit young people, their families and carers to be at the centre of clinical care and equal partners with clinicians in crucial treatment decisions.
