A Literature Review of Remote Mental Health Screening: Barriers, Potential Solutions, and Tools

Remote Measurement Technologies (RMTs) have the potential to become widely used tools for monitoring and treating mental health. However, their adoption faces multiple barriers. We conducted a focused literature review to identify commonly used devices and assessment surveys, synthesize barriers to their use, and explore proposed solutions. Our review highlighted several challenges in implementing RMTs, including technological limitations, user-related factors, legal and ethical concerns, research constraints, and difficulties integrating these technologies into clinical practice. While studies have examined barriers through user interviews, empirical analyses of success factors remain limited, highlighting a need for further research in this area. 

After attending this presentation, attendees will be able to explain the main current researched barriers to implementing Remote Measurement Technologies.

Beyond this presentation, attendees will have an understanding that would allow for implementation of Remote Measurement Technologies in a beneficial and safe way, if desired and applicable.

After attending this presentation, attendees will be able to distinguish the different types and uses of Remote Measurement Technologies.
