Devices

We are building our own devices that users wear to monitor and receive feedback about behaviors related to their mental health. Below are examples of devices we are currently testing.

The Thermo wearable

for position tracking

The Tingle wearable

for compulsive behaviors

Comparison study

of wearable devices

Smartphone Apps

Our apps provide a convenient way of extending therapies from the clinic to the home in an engaging way. See a few examples below of apps currently under development.

Mindlogger

Data Collection App

Token Tower

OCD app

Taction!

exposure therapy app

Informatics Tools

We are constructing a mental health database that contains questions from over 80 mental health questionnaires, all of the symptoms from diagnostic psychiatry manuals such as the DSM-5, and information about technologies related to mental health. Below are a few projects that make use of this database.

The Team

Our lab is a small but unstoppable team. We work with clinicians as well as other researchers to ensure that what we build has the greatest potential for helping people improve their mental health, either at the Child Mind Institute or anywhere in the world.

Research

We build technologies such as wearable devices, smartphone apps, and informatics and voice analysis tools to help diagnose, assess, monitor, and improve mental health.

We are a research lab within the Child Mind Institute and work with clinicians and patients who inspire and guide the development of our technologies. Please click on any of the projects below to learn more.
