Taking a Closer Look at Telebehavioral Health and Emerging Health Technologies
This month the UMTRC focused on telebehavioral health – on our podcast, A Virtual View, we spoke with Raymond Barrett, the CEO of the Telehealth Certification Institute, LLC, about how specialized training can prepare providers to provide behavioral health services via telehealth. On the UMTRC blog, we went over the current state of telebehavioral health and predicted how behavioral health care via telehealth would be used in the future.
The UMTRC also explored emerging healthcare technologies. On our blog, we dove into some of the challenges that technology literacy can have when adopting telehealth. We hosted Shuo Qiao, the founder of Moving Analytics, on our podcast and discussed the quickly developing technological landscape of telehealth.

The UMTRC team has the following webinars coming up in the near future. We hope that you can join them and welcome your requests for additional topics for future webinars. UMTRC Webinar - Improving Quality of Life through AI Utilization for Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis - November 29, 2022 (12:00 – 1:00 pm Eastern)
The UMTRC will present a webinar on November 29 at noon titled “Improving Quality of Life through AI Utilization for Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis.” Even after onset of painful symptoms, many patients experience life-threatening delays in diagnosis of ovarian cancer. As artificial intelligence becomes more ubiquitous in all aspects of life, there are opportunities to utilize it in diagnosis of ovarian cancer to extend life and improve quality of life.
The principles of artificial intelligence (AI) will be briefly described, followed by identification of opportunities for a variety of stakeholders to access emerging AI technology. |
