On 27-28 November, Shweta and Josefin attended The Swedish Conference of Clinical Psychology (SCCP) in Stockholm to present a poster about the ConnectMe project.

The SCCP conference is organized by Karolinska Institutet and focuses on research on various aspects related to psychological treatment. We submitted a poster describing the ConnectMe project, relating our work of exploring the impact of connected mental health tools on clinicians’ work environments. This conference seemed like a great forum to reach mental health clinicians to spread awareness about our project, as well as potentially recruit some participants to the ongoing interview study!

See our poster below:

Over the two days, we were able to connect with numerous clinical psychologists who were intrigued by our topic and eager to share their experiences with digital tools in clinical practice. We were thrilled to gain new insights and perspectives from healthcare professionals across a variety of fields.

The conference was held in a relatively intimate setting, with all sessions taking place in the main room and all participants attending – this made for great discussions. All speakers did an excellent job, and the research presented was truly fascinating. In particular, a keynote by Wolfgang Lutz stood out, focusing on precision in mental healthcare and demonstrating a measurement-based system currently being tested in Germany. The presentation highlighted how data-driven approaches can enhance diagnosis and treatment.

Thank you SCCP for organizing a great conference!

Intervjun tar max 60 minuter och kan göras på plats i Uppsala eller Stockholm, digitalt via Zoom, eller över telefon. Under intervjun ställer vi frågor om erfarenheter av digitala vårdtjänster, som videokonsultationer, inom vården för psykisk ohälsa. Vi frågar om ämnen som arbetsbelastning, stress och hur digitala verktyg påverkar arbetsmiljön.
