ABSTRACT

From the birth of e-health in psychiatry in the 1960s to the current era marked by the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), psychiatric practice has changed in line with the evolution of digital technologies. Appropriate tools help to broaden access to care and improve therapeutic follow-up. With the advent of AI, new opportunities are emerging, generating advances that come with challenges. Finding a balance between technology, ethics, and humanism is essential to ensure that the digital transformation in psychiatry is beneficial and inclusive, without compromising the therapeutic relationship or fragmenting care pathways.
