Novel Mental Health Technologies: A Report with YPMH

From AI and EEG headsets to targeted self-help apps, new technologies are opening up exciting possibilities for how we diagnose, monitor, and manage mental health conditions.

Our latest report explores a range of non-drug, non-therapy innovations designed to support young people experiencing challenges such as depression.

These include:

• Targeted wellbeing apps tailored for specific communities

• AI diagnostic tools that analyse speech, behaviour, and vital signs through smartphone cameras

• Wearable EEGs to track stress and focus in real time

• Virtual Reality (VRET) for exposure therapy

• Neuromodulation techniques, such as transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS), for treating depression

This report was led by Clara Freitas Dos Santos Livingston, in collaboration with YPMH.
