How can technology improve how we predict and prevent suicidal thoughts and behavi or?
Technology like smartphones and smartwatches hav e become nearly ubiquitous over the past few years. This has led to a surge of interest into using this technology to better understand suicide risk a s it occurs in everyday life as well as improve the delivery of interventio ns for suicide risk. In this webinar\, I will first focus on the progress w e have made in using technology to predict and prevent suicidal thoughts an d behaviors. Next\, I will talk about the opportunities and challenges of u sing technology with suicidal individuals in clinical practice. I will end by giving a balanced view of what may and may not be possible in the future when using technology to study suicide.
