The MindCare Conference is a forum where technological, psychological and clinical disciplines meet. It connects practitioners, healthcare and technology researchers focused on the common goal of technological advancements to maintain and improve mental health. The MindCare community leverages the opportunities offered by digital technologies to provide improved assessment, prevention and treatment of mental health difficulties. We are interested in all age groups, both healthy subjects and patients, and also in extending theoretical knowledge.
