HAWT Toolkit

The Horizon Adoption of Wellbeing Technology Toolkit 

Many different technologies can be used for mental health treatment and support, including immersive and emerging technologies like virtual reality and artificial intelligence, which many people are not familiar with.

The HAWT Toolkit project aims to develop a guide on the use of immersive and emerging technologies to support the mental health of people in the community and the voluntary sector. Work will focus on digital mental health (DMH) – defined as including many different technologies (from smartphones to extended reality systems) for mental health diagnosis, treatment, prevention, intervention and support provided by a trained deliverer or direct to the consumer. DMH technologies are both hybrid and social by nature.

Start date: 1 September 2024 – 30 October 2025

Project Team: Aislinn Gomez Bergin, Emily Thorn, Chris Greenhalgh, Peter Craigon, Elvira Perez Vallejos, Natalie Leesakul, Sachiyo Ito-Jaeger, Anna-Maria Piskopani
