This Hubinar will feature a series of short presentations by 7 current and recent trainees from Stanford Psychiatry, PGSP - Stanford PsyD Consortium, and the VA. This Hubinar will highlight their current work interests involving development, testing, and implementation of novel technology-based mental health interventions for patients and is also intended to be an opportunity for discussion and feedback.

Presentations will include interventions and topics such as the following:

Eve Rosenfeld, PhD will discuss RuminAid, a mobile app-based intervention targeting depression and rumination. Dr. Rosenfeld will describe its iterative development process as well as findings from a pilot trial, including initial estimates of feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness.

Ana Jessica (AJ) Alfaro, PsyD will discuss a feasibility and acceptability study for her project Geri-Change, a 6-week telehealth group intervention for older Veterans with problematic drinking who are willing to use mobile apps but have limited expertise. This intervention uses an existing VA mental health app called VetChange, combined with educational materials, coaching, and behavioral interviewing.

Haijing Hallenbeck, PhD will discuss a novel methodology that allows veterans with PTSD and depression to monitor their symptoms and functioning through smartphones and wearables. This approach includes both active data collection (i.e., ecological momentary assessment [EMA] surveys delivered through smartphones) and passive data collection (i.e., sensor information from smartphones and wearables related to location, social communication, physical activity, and sleep).

We also look forward to hearing about recent scholarly work and interests from Ilang Guiroy, MD, Joe Wielgosz, PhD, Sara Johansen, MD, and Ashley Griffin, PhD.
