Digital tools can expand opportunities for mental health information, research and support, but claims about effectiveness and safety must be tested. This theme studies digital interventions, online communities, artificial intelligence and data governance without assuming that technology can replace qualified clinical care.

Priority topics: app effectiveness; digital therapeutics; conversational AI safety; bias and accessibility; privacy-preserving research; remote service delivery; engagement and dropout; crisis escalation design; digital exclusion. Clinical claims require appropriate validation, regulatory review where applicable, and clear human oversight.
