🌱 Mental health appstores like Belgium's onlinehulp-apps.be are simplifying access to high-quality mental health apps. A recent study published in #ProcediaComputerScience following #ISRII2024 showed high usability, relevance for clients, and strong professional adoption. bit.ly/isrii2024
#MaartenPiot successfully defended his PhD! His research explored how #ExperienceSampling tools can be made more practical & user-friendly for mental health practitioners.
The work of this 🦄 combining engineering skills with UX knowlegde & now also a psychology PhD will continue at m-path.io!
Could you perhaps turn the icon of the 'old' app in greyscale in time? I now have both and afraid to delete the wrong one :D
Earlier this month, I was teaching at #CYBER. This Erasmus Mundus offers classrooms with great views over Paris while bringing together students from backgrounds in human behavior and engineering. Passionate about the intersection of tech & #MentalHealth? Applications open annually: cyber-t.eu.

Thank you for this overview! Would be great if you could add me as well :)
If you would consider adding me, that would be great!
Thank you!
👇While it may take a few iterations (and more robust multi-user support) for the AVP to truly be relevant for mental healthcare, I’d still recommend a hands-on experience if you get the chance. Thought and remarks highly welcomed!
🧠 Implications for #MentalHealthcare
While the AVP might be an impressive piece of technology, these constraints make it less practical for multi-patient use in clinical settings: switching patients would be time-consuming, patients need above average tech-savviness and the price tag is prohibitive.
3️⃣ A personal device with limited multi-user flexibility -
The AVP is clearly designed as a personal device, with notable limitations for shared use: only 1 user per headset and cumbersome guest access, casting is not easy and if you're wearing glasses, it's definitely not straightforward.
2️⃣ Impressive passthrough AR (sorry, I mean #SpatialComputing) - The passthrough AR is excellent, comparable to the Quest 3(S) with the latest updates. Apple’s content is great - The Weeknd's latest video for an example. However, much of this wow-factor stems from software rather than hardware.
1️⃣ Great eye-tracking, but less intuitive than hand tracking - The AVP’s eye-tracking feature is impressive but requires calibration (a quick 3-minute process). However, for those accustomed to hand tracking on devices like Meta’s Quest, navigating via eye-tracking might feel less natural.
🧠 In recent months, I've been asked frequently whether the #AppleVisionPro is worth investing in for #MentalHealthcare organizations. Following extensive testing - with insightful assistance from my 9-year-old son, a VR enthusiast with nearly 5 years of experience, here are 3 key takeaways.
Would be great if I could be added, thank you for these overviews!
Would you consider adding me as well? Thank you for the overview!
Happy to join!
A new home-away-from home? I'll be focussing on #DigitalMentalHealth, the use of technology for mental health. I mainly conduct practice and policy oriented research, predominantly in the Belgian and European context. More on my personal website epsychology.be & digitalmentalhealth.be
