Very few tic therapists in the UK. So almost impossible for young people to get therapy for their tics. Which is where technology can help with the model: Orbit #RCPsychIC

From ORBIT(online CBT for Tics), qbtech.com for ADHD assessment , gaming for anxiety and VR for psychosis at Oxford - tech has multiple applications for reducing time to treatment and improving care. #RCPsychIC #RCPsychIC23 @MindTech_Doc

@NIHR_MindTech @MindTech_Doc #RCPsychIC Too much expectations and hype in the digital health field. Evidence not always translates clinically. Risk of fragmentation of NHS care with different providers. @QbtechADHD is now more widely used.

Interesting presentation by @MindTech_Doc on the role of Mindtech in developing the evidence base for digital mental health apps. Must ensure that we also consider the potential proliferation of standalone apps & the risk of exacerbating data silos... #RCPsychIC23 #RCPsychIC
