Technology and AI in Psychological and Behavioural Interventions
- Digital and technology
Share this page
This learning is designed to provide an overview of the current state of technological application within behavioural interventions. For example, in health and coaching contexts in North America, behavioural science is used in product design as standard; and many psychological and behavioural interventions are delivered using digital technology.
Digital technologies can be used to inform and educate the public, support and train care providers, and provide remote and self-care to individuals. In 2022, the WHO stated there needs to be a global transformation to promote mental health care for all, and scale up care for common mental health conditions. Psychologists should be deeply involved in the digital transformation of these educational, psychological and behavioural interventions
Target Audience
This CPD is useful for individuals who want to understand more about technology-augmented and technology-delivered behavioural interventions in health and well being contexts.
It is suitable for those at any stage of career who would like to learn more about the intersect of behavioural interventions and technology, including AI.
Psychologists who deliver behavioural interventions, or are involved in designing and testing behavioural interventions. Innovation in technology impacts behavioural interventions across the scope of psychology, though this learning has a stronger focus on health and wellbeing contexts.
