Abstract in brief

  • The digital revolution in medicine offers innovative treatment options for mental illness but also raises concerns about patient privacy, data security, and potential harms from misuse or poor-quality online information.
  • Digital data from patients is often sold and used in algorithms that can classify individuals in ways that may lead to discrimination or other nonmedical harms.
  • To ensure ethical use of digital tools, healthcare providers and patients need better understanding and education about the digital economy, online resources, and the limitations of digital health technologies.]
