About the lecture

Sweden has been a frontrunner in digital mental health, both in research and in implementation into regular care. For over 20 years, research has been conducted on ICBT-programs for mental health problems. The implementation of internet-based interventions into regular care had its start over 15 years ago. Today, digital psychologists are easily accessed through private actors in public care, and ICBT is mainly available through public providers. What can be learned from the Swedish model and how has the health care system shaped how digital mental health interventions are provided? What lies ahead?

This lecture gives an overview of the current state and history of digital mental health in Sweden. The lecture will also look at how the different treatment options have been integrated in the health care system.
