Abstract

© 2026 Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.Despite rapid growth, digital mental health tools rarely deliver meaningful clinical impact. Psychiatrists’ attitudes to technology and private–industry partnerships are key. To embed safe, effective technologies into real-world psychiatric care, a shift from proliferation to precision is required. Co-production, equity, implementation science and academia–industry–clinical partnerships need emphasis.
