Research Snapshot: Delivery of compassionate mental health care using digital technologies

Registered Member

Compassion is a critical component of delivering effective health care services, especially those aimed at improving mental health.

As we continue to see widespread adoption of digital technologies (such as virtual care, mobile apps and patient portals) it remains unclear how their use may affect the delivery of compassionate mental health care. For this reason, it’s important to understand the relationship between the two and to explore how compassionate mental health services can be better delivered through and with digital technologies.

Ontario researchers conducted a scoping review to find out what digital technologies are being used to deliver mental health care. They also explored the relationship between digital technologies and compassionate mental health care and identified barriers to and facilitators of using these technologies.
