Abstract
The following case series provides several examples from the Digital Clinic, an outpatient mental health program which uses smartphone technology to augment traditional mental health care. The themes highlighted in this piece, expanding emotional-awareness, symptom tracking, and medication management, provide real-clinical examples of how the Digital Clinic offered remote mental health care to a diverse group of people. Furthermore, the following piece demonstrates to practicing clinicians how digital technologies, like smartphone apps, can diversify methods of clinical engagement, assist with collecting health metrics in a safe and ethical manner, and promote person centred care. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing re-evaluation of how mental health services are provided, it is critical to ensure that digitally infused systems of care, like the Digital Clinic, are effective, accessible, and scalable.Entities:
