Exciting output exploring the use of Technology to support positive mental health: Techno Therapies Animation Exciting output exploring the use of Technology to support positive mental health: Techno Therapies Animation

As part of the Economic and Social Science Research Councils (ESRC) Festival of Social Science, the Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare (CATCH) held a free, public event called Techno Therapies. The event was an afternoon of exciting talks, demonstrations and debates showcasing current healthcare technologies that can be used to improve or help maintain people’s mental health and well-being, the importance of design in digital health. 

Following on from the event and drawing on the presentations from the day, Dr Katherine Easton has collaborated with Inkwell Creative Arts Media, a volunteer led enterprise offering media solutions and services, to produce a short animation that explores the use of technology in mental health.

Dr Easton from CATCH explains the intentions behind the film “The aim really is to make research accessible. Explain to the public what it is we (at the University) are trying to achieve with the research that we do. I would love to see more interaction between members of the public, health services, industry and academia, working together to create products and services that meet user’s needs”.
