Delivering behavioral health care to you, when you need it most
With behavioral health care in high demand, there are not enough trained clinical professionals to meet the need. That’s where the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) at the Geisel School of Medicine comes in. At CTBH, innovators and clinicians across disciplines are developing and evaluating digital technologies to bring personalized, science-based care to patients anytime, anywhere.
They’re like a ‘virtual clinician’ in your pocket 24/7 to support the full spectrum of health—from changing unhealthy behavior, to helping people effectively manage chronic conditions, to reducing premature deaths worldwide.
A Personalized Healthcare Revolution
Researchers at Dartmouth Health and Geisel School of Medicine are leaving one-size-fits-all approaches in the past and instead are building digital health tools to educate and empower patients—specifically tailored to their unique health needs.
Behavioral Health in Your Pocket
Our research has shown that evidence-based, digital therapeutics can roughly double abstinence rates from drugs, including opioids, when compared to standard addiction treatment; greatly reduce depression; help people manage chronic pain; and reduce costly, unnecessary visits to emergency departments.
Making Medical School Less Stressful
Dartmouth researchers use wearable technology to map physical activity, sleep, and heart-rate variability, all behavioral and physiological markers related to mental health, to understand factors that lead to not only high levels of stress, but also resilience.
