Philip Lindner´s researchgroup
Digital Psychiatry - clinical and other applied research in the field of digital psychiatry, with the goal of developing, evaluating and implementing new digital tools for the identification and treatment of mental health problems in the different forms.
Research areas
We have three overarching focus areas:
- Digital treatments of addictive disorders, as anonymous self-help and within regular addiction care
- Online gambling: Epidemiology, screening and interventions
- Clinical applications of Virtual Reality and other immersive technologies
We use both qualitative and quantitative methods, including advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, and Natural Language Processing.
Collaboration
Our research group is closely tied to the Addiction eClinic at the Stockholm Centre for Dependency Disorders – offering different kinds of digital interventions for addictive disorders – where many group members work clinically and/or with clinical research. We also have several ongoing collaborations on independent scientific evaluations of responsible gambling tools.
Research projects
Selected ongoing projects:
- Development, evaluation and implementation of digital treatments within routine addiction care
- Outcome prediction of digital treatment for alcohol problems using Natural Language Processing and machine learning
- mHealth interventions as bridge to outpatient care after a visit to the addiction emergency ward
- Naturalistic user experiences of Virtual Reality for mental health
- Development and evaluation of support programs for concerned significant others of people with alcohol problems
- Development and evaluation of novel responsible gambling tools and methods to identify gambling problems
