This Winter term, CTBH faculty affiliate Maddy Frumkin is launching a new graduate course focused on Digital Mental Health.
Designed for students across data science, health policy, engineering, computer science, psychology, and neuroscience, the course begins with core concepts in the assessment and treatment of major mental disorders. The majority of the term then focuses on the state-of-the-science in digital mental health, examining how emerging technologies are developed, evaluated, and implemented in real-world settings.
By the end of the course, students will be able to define major mental disorders using DSM-5 criteria; identify opportunities and challenges associated with integrating digital technologies into mental health care; evaluate whether digital mental health tools are evidence-based, ethical, and fair; and identify promising directions for future innovation.
Through hands-on projects, case studies, and interactive discussions with academic and industry leaders, students will cultivate the skills and networks needed to contribute meaningfully to this rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field.
