Overview
Join us for a full day of insightful discussion, practical insights, and future-focused thinking as we explore the evolving role of innovation in psychiatry. This virtual conference brings together clinicians, researchers, educators and digital health leaders to share cutting-edge projects, practical tools, and bold visions for the future of mental health care.
The day opens with a spotlight on digital leadership and system-wide priorities, followed by focused sessions on emerging technologies, including ambient voice technology in clinical practice and the development of large language models to support clinical workflows.
After lunch, we shift our attention to topics on inclusive digital practice, showcasing how digital tools are transforming care for neurodevelopmental conditions and individuals recovering from first episode psychosis. The day concludes with an engaging Pecha Kucha session, where rapid-fire presentations spotlight innovative projects.
