Expert panel: future directions of technological advances in prevention, assessment, and treatment for military deployment mental health.

This expert panel was convened at CyberTherapy 14, in Verbania, Italy, on June 23, 2009, for the purpose discussing current and future uses of technology for the mental health of deployed military service members. Panel members were selected on the basis of their being military mental health providers working with advanced technology either in combat zones or in military treatment facilities, or developing technology to be used in these settings. The panel was charged with examining both appropriate and inappropriate use of current technologies to assist with the psychological health of service members in the field. The panel was also tasked with pointing out areas where technology can further develop to support the psychological health of the field-deployed service member.
