Digital Psychology Services
What are Digital Psychology Services?
Digital psychology services use technology to help people access psychological care. MindSpot is a digital psychology service. MindSpot services are delivered by trained mental health professionals.
Hear Professor Olav Nielssen discuss the impact and importance of digital mental health services.
Traditional Psychology vs Digital Psychology
Traditional psychology services typically involve in-person contact between a patient and a mental health professional. Digital psychology services use technology to connect a patient with their mental health professional.
Both traditional psychology and digital psychological services aim to help people understand and manage their mental health symptoms. The difference lies in how this care is delivered.
