From Crisis to Care: Responsible Technology Solutions for Health Worker Mental Health

As global healthcare systems face a critical shortage of providers, digital innovation is more than a novel addition. It is a necessity for the mental health of both the health care workforce and the patients they serve. As part of the Dickey Center's Global Mental Health Initiative (GMHI): "Empowering Health Workers for a Healthier Future," this talk will animate the urgent need to better equip future healthcare workers and current professionals worldwide with tools to manage escalating mental health challenge: burnout, stress, and trauma exacerbated by global health crises. We invite the Dartmouth community to a deep-dive exploration of how Dartmouth and international partners are using data science and precision psychiatry as "workforce multipliers" to bridge the treatment gap. This conversation highlights the robust research partnership between Dartmouth College and the Brain & Mind Institute (BMI) at Aga Khan University, Nairobi. Our experts will discuss evidence-based tools from mobile sensing and generative AI to culturally responsive digital brain health interventions, and how they can be translated into sustainable clinical practice across diverse resource environments. Join faculty, students, and institutional leaders to examine how we are leveraging technology to reshape the global mental health landscape.
