We are thrilled to announce that our PhD student, Laurence Astill Wright, has co-authored a groundbreaking study titled “Improving the Utility, Safety, and Ethical Use of a Passive Mood-Tracking App for People With Bipolar Disorder Using Coproduction: Qualitative Focus Group Study”, published in JMIR Formative Research.
This open-access paper explores how co-design with users can enhance the safety, usability, and ethical considerations of digital health tools for those living with bipolar disorder. By integrating insights from people with lived experience, the study offers valuable guidance for developing more inclusive and effective mental health technologies.
Kudos to Laurence and the team for this significant contribution to digital mental health research. Your work is paving the way for more user-centered, ethical, and impactful health interventions.
