The Institute for Technology in Psychiatry is developing and testing tech-enhanced applications for mental health.
McLean launched its Institute for Technology in Psychiatry in 2016; today, we are helping to develop and/or clinically test advanced tools such as wearable devices, virtual reality headsets, and internet-based treatment methods. Through this work, McLean is redefining the psychiatrist’s toolkit and expanding our reach well beyond our campus.

Advanced scanners that translate brain research.
Mental health workers are only 1% of the global health workforce. We are developing smart-phone-based apps and virtual clinics to increase access.
The full $5 million goal for technological innovation is earmarked for technology-based care and research programs.
Technology plays an important role in reaching more patients and allows us to bridge the gap between traditional methods and new frontiers.
We are actively using artificial intelligence-based tools, virtual reality, and other technologies to treat a range of behavioral and mental health disorders. We are refining these tools in real time to develop best practices for clinicians at McLean and beyond. Every day, we explore new ways to harness tech’s potential to help people with mental illness.
