The Science of Us series will investigate the science of our lives, our health and our wellbeing, delving into fertility, addiction, mental health, ageing and more.
5.30pm-6.00pm: Drinks & Canapés, Jaeger Room
6.00pm-7.00pm: Talk & Q&A, Ian Wark Theatre
In this presentation we will explore the emerging ways in which technology is adversely affecting our mental health but also ways it can be used to effect positive outcomes for those at risk. Professor Mike Kyrios (Flinders University) will speak about how he is using technology to create digitally delivered therapies to people suffering from compulsive behaviours. Professor Helen Christensen (Black Dog Institute) will discuss the innovative methods being used for detecting mental health risk, such as anxiety and depression, via social media, and the development of novel interventions for mental health treatment.
