Implementing Digital Mental Health Projects: Adapting Tools for Real-World Use

Promises of digital mental health are increasingly recognized. However, few are successfully integrated into mental health care settings. In this presentation, the D3SM Implementation Team will discuss the complexities of implementing digital mental health innovations and showcase the D3SM implementation digital toolkit, developed based on the implementation science framework. The presentation provides an opportunity to learn how the implementation toolkit supports researchers, clinicians, healthcare managers, and project leads in planning, implementing, and evaluating digital mental health solutions within Quebec’s health system.

Dr. Sakiko Yamaguchi is a postdoctoral fellow at the Douglas Research Centre and McGill University, specializing in implementation science and knowledge mobilization in digital mental health.

Keya Tyagi is an Honours Cognitive Science graduate from McGill University, contributing to digital mental health research and toolkit implementation with the Ludic Mind Studio.

Trent Powell is a software and game developer with the Ludic Mind Studio at McGill University, supporting digital mental health research through computing and interactive design.
