A new agreement between the mental health system of California and two technology companies, seeks to assess the status of patients with depression and anxiety, and function as a fire alarm to understand the levels of stress it is in.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The New York Times announced last July the existence of a tool that could help people suffering from depression disorders and who have suicidal tendencies. Mental health officials from California, Mindstrong and 7 cups, presented an early warning system that could help anticipate an impending emotional crisis, thus allowing them to take the necessary measures to avoid it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The interest in this alternative was swift and since last winter thousands of people have come to test its efficiency. However, the public mental health system was given the task of analyzing its use and results to provide information.<\/p>

Through apps and smartphones<\/em>, these systems have begun to be tested to consider their use to promote mental health and request assistance when an individual needs it. Some subjects who were among the first groups to undergo these tests were people who suffer from a borderline personality disorder, who usually have difficulty identifying their own anguish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lynn McFarr, director of the behavioral and dialectic therapy clinic at Harbor U.C.L.A. Medical Center, says that \"people with borderline personality disorder have difficulty identifying when the anxiety is very high.\"<\/em> He added that with the tool it could be shown, in the form of bio-feedback, that the signals went out of control when you have a different emotion, for example, some quarrel with a co-worker, and would be able to anticipate and direct it with learned skills.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Through a digital file, users keep a daily log of events and factors that can contribute to their mood, thus monitoring symptoms of depression or anxiety. In this way, they can identify some that are fatalistic and find those moments that affected their mood at some particular time.<\/p>

Both Mindstrong and 7 Cups digital mental health networks, are committed to providing the highest technology at the service of health through the use of digital platforms.<\/p>

By these means, users have access to options to identify and calm their symptoms, such as a chat and even a person trained as a \u201clistener\u201d, prepared to assess the severity of the problem and who could contact the person with a 7 Cup therapist in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although they are definitely interesting tools that can open many doors to combat daily problems related to mental health, there are certain challenges to overcome. One of them is the lack of confidence in technological platforms and respect for user\u2019s privacy.<\/p>

A large number of users have been identified with the self-analysis tool that they must fill out daily. However, studies have revealed that patients with anxiety disorders depend mostly on physical and personal contact and treatment.<\/p>

Although Mindstrong already has more than 40 million users, it hasn\u2019t yet expanded to Latin America and is in a limited test stage for certain users. However, this year it\u2019s expected to have more than 340 thousand listeners in 189 countries. The truth is that, technology will always continue to evolve and these successful platforms could end up transforming mental health care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Un nuevo convenio entre el sistema de salud mental de California y dos empresas de tecnolog\u00eda, busca evaluar el estado de pacientes con depresi\u00f3n y ansiedad, y funcionar como una alarma de incendios para comprender los niveles de estr\u00e9s en que se encuentra. El New York Times dio a conocer el pasado mes de julio la existencia de una herramienta que podr\u00eda ayudar a las personas que sufren de trastornos de depresi\u00f3n y que tienen tendencias suicidas. Funcionarios de salud mental de California, Mindstrong y 7 cups, presentaron un sistema de advertencia temprana que podr\u00eda ayudar a prever una crisis emocional inminente, permitiendo as\u00ed, tomar las medidas necesarias para evitarla. El inter\u00e9s por esta alternativa no se hizo esperar y desde invierno pasado miles de personas se han acercado a probar su eficiencia. Sin embargo, el sistema p\u00fablico de salud mental se dio a la tarea de analizar su uso y resultados para proporcionar informaci\u00f3n. Mediante apps y smartphones, se han comenzado a poner a prueba estos sistemas para considerar su uso para promover la salud mental y solicitar asistencia cu\u00e1ndo un individuo la necesita. Algunos sujetos que estuvieron dentro de los primeros grupos en someterse a estas pruebas fueron personas que sufren de un trastorno de personalidad lim\u00edtrofe, que normalmente tienen dificultades para identificar su propia angustia. Lynn McFarr, directora de la cl\u00ednica de terapia cognitiva y dial\u00e9ctica del comportamiento en Harbor U.C.L.A. Centro M\u00e9dico, asegura que “las personas con trastorno l\u00edmite de la personalidad tienen dificultades para identificar cu\u00e1ndo la angustia es muy alta”. A\u00f1adi\u00f3 que con la herramienta se podr\u00eda mostrar, en forma de bio-retroalimentaci\u00f3n, que las se\u00f1ales salieron de control cuando se tiene una emoci\u00f3n distinta, por ejemplo, alguna ri\u00f1a con un compa\u00f1ero de trabajo, y ser\u00edan capaces de anticiparla y dirigirla con habilidades aprendidas. A trav\u00e9s de una ficha digital, los usuarios llevan una bit\u00e1cora diaria de eventos y factores que pueden contribuir a su estado de \u00e1nimo, monitoreando as\u00ed s\u00edntomas de depresi\u00f3n o ansiedad. De este modo, pueden identificar algunos que sean fatalistas y encontrar esos momentos que afectaron a su estado de \u00e1nimo en alg\u00fan momento en particular. Tanto Mindstrong como 7 Cups, redes digitales de salud mental, est\u00e1n comprometidas a proporcionar la m\u00e1s alta tecnolog\u00eda al servicio de la salud mediante el uso de plataformas digitales. Por estos medios, los usuarios tienen acceso a opciones para identificar y calmar sus s\u00edntomas, como un chat y hasta una persona capacitada como \u201cescucha\u201d, entrenado para evaluar la severidad del problema y que pudiera contactar a la persona con un terapeuta de 7 Cups en cuesti\u00f3n de segundos. Aunque definitivamente son herramientas interesantes que pueden abrir muchas puertas para combatir problemas diarios relacionados con la salud mental, existen ciertos retos que superar. Uno de ellos es la falta de confianza en plataformas tecnol\u00f3gicas y el respeto a la privacidad de los usuarios. Un gran n\u00famero de usuarios s\u00f3lo se han identificado con la herramienta del an\u00e1lisis propio que deben llenar diario. Sin embargo, estudios han revelado que los pacientes con desordenes de ansiedad dependen en su gran mayor\u00eda de contacto y tratamiento f\u00edsico y personal. Aun cuando Mindstrong cuenta ya con m\u00e1s de 40 millones de usuarios, todav\u00eda no se ha expandido a Am\u00e9rica Latina y se encuentra en una etapa de prueba limitada a ciertos usuarios. Sin embargo, se espera que este a\u00f1o cuente con m\u00e1s de 340 mil escuchas en 189 pa\u00edses. Lo cierto es que, la tecnolog\u00eda siempre seguir\u00e1 evolucionando y estas plataformas de probarse exitosas, podr\u00edan terminar transformando el cuidado de la salud mental.
