Abstract

<p>Biomarkers for diagnosis and severity assessment of psychiatric disorders are currently unavailable for many psychiatric conditions, which results in discrepancies in diagnoses, inaccurate evaluation of treatment efficacy, and failure of clinical trials. Development of careful and close symptom monitoring, symptom quantification techniques, and treatment modalities that utilize digital technology are gaining momentum worldwide as potentially useful approaches to address the aforementioned concerns. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected psychiatry worldwide, and digital health solutions, including telemedicine and artificial intelligence have emerged as major models of care during the pandemic. Application of digital technologies is reshaping psychiatry and opens new possibilities. In this article, we discuss trends in psychiatric care using digital technology and its prospects in Japan, focused on our research activities.</p>
