Digitalization Impact Analysis Space

Who are we?

Newly formed group aims to maintain the interest generated by the 2021 congress. “Digital Society and Mental Health” on the influence of digital transformation in society on mental health and continuing to foster debate around its various facets, ethical, psychosocial, psychopathological, and therapeutic.

The end of the pandemic makes it necessary to reflect on the sustained effects that are being observed and the psychosocial changes that will remain, including in the use and misuse of digitalization.

Many self-harm behaviors, including eating disorders, have increased, and social media plays a significant role in this. The hyper-demand and isolation during the pandemic seem to have played a relevant part.

With the closest date, there is the organization of a post-conference day, which will take place next December 16 to CoMB, more information (this will link to the day's information on the website)

Our purpose is to gather relevant publications and information on the evolution of this topic.

What are our goals?

  • Promote an interdisciplinary observatory on the evolution of digitalization processes and their impact on the mental health of the population and care models.
  • Analyze the development of care models through technologies
  • Understanding the problems that arise or grow through technologies
  • Ensure equal opportunities without differentiating by ethnicity, gender, or age.
  • Maintain a critical attitude towards digital models that do not respect diversity. Ensure ethical practices.
  • Promote spaces for debate and awareness regarding the influence of digitalization in its various aspects (ethical, psychosocial, psychopathological, and therapeutic) on society, and more specifically, on mental health.
  •  Track scientific production in the field.
