Keynote Speakers


Concurrent SessionsDay One - Session A

Mobile and Social Media Interventions to Improve Health Social Technologies and Social Data to Change and Predict Health BehaviorSean Young, PhD, MSAssistant Professor in the UCLA Department of Family Medicine; Executive Director of the University of California Institute of Prediction Technology This presentation will provide an overview of current work using mobile and social technologies to change behavioral/mental health with specific examples from our recent studies on HIV and addiction medicine. In addition, the presenter will highlight how social technology data can be used to predict patient behaviors and outcomes.

Engaging with Mobile Technology in Treatment: We Built It, but Will They Come?Matthew Price, PhDAssistant Professor, Department of Psychological Science, University of VermontMobile applications provide a tremendous opportunity to improve the quality of behavioral health care. They allow providers to reach well beyond the treatment room to interact with patients in order to promote positive behavior change. However, a key challenge of behavior change has consistently been patient adherence to the prescribed treatment. Although technology offers numerous ways to promote engagement in the treatment process, it does not necessarily assure adherence. Empirical evidence demonstrating the challenges and successes of using technology in behavioral healthcare and recommendations for successful use of technology in practice will be discussed.

Try it Out: The Importance of Modeling and ‘Trialability’ for Behavioral Health Technology EngagementMarlene L. East, EdD, LMHCLicensed Counselor, EAST Counseling Services, Inc.Results of a survey and counselor educator interviews regarding mental health mobile apps research will provide the basis for a discussion on the importance of therapist modeling and guiding patients in trying out innovations to promote engagement with behavioral health technologies.

Day One - Session BInnovative Use of Mobile Technologies in Behavioral HealthMobile Phones in Residential Treatment: Implications for PracticeScott Collier, PhD, MSW*Director of Research and Evaluation, HealthRIGHT 360 Mardell Gavriel, PsyD*Vice President of Mental Health Services, HealthRIGHT 360Mobile phone applications and text-based support for individuals with a substance use disorder are useless if the individual does not have a phone. Clients in residential treatment are generally barred from having mobile phones while in treatment, resulting in an inability for some of the most acute SUD clients to benefit from the advancements in this field. In addition, it sets up an artificial treatment environment in which clients do not have to develop a new relationship with the phone, which may have been used in the past as a tool to advance their addiction. When the client leaves treatment and gets the phone back, if their first impulse is to call their dealer, then the program has not done a very good job. HealthRIGHT 360, a nonprofit primary care substance abuse and mental health treatment provider, began allowing clients to keep their mobile phones while in treatment. Elopement data as they relate to the policy are examined along with data from staff interviews about its implementation and impact.

Extending Our Reach with Technology: Working “Smarter” in Integrated SettingsChantelle Thomas, PhDAdjunct Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Family Medicine, University of Wisconsin; Behavioral Health Consultant, Access Community Health Care CentersThis presentation will describe the implementation of a smart-phone application for patients with substance use disorders in a fully integrated, federally qualified heath center. Both the challenges of adapting this technology to the primary care culture and the opportunities for enhanced case management will be explored within the context of a population-based care model. *indicates Engage the Expert


Concurrent SessionsDay One - Session B Cont.

Innovative Use of Mobile Technologies in Behavioral HealthIncreasing the Capacity to Address Behavioral Health through TechnologyJames Wright, LCPCPublic Health Advisor, Center for Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)SAMHSA is taking charge in the area of Health Information Technology (HIT) to include mobile health and app development. This presentation will provide an overview of current SAMHSA initiatives to increase access to services using technology, including SAMHSA’s new suicide risk hotline and KnowBullying app.

Day One - Session C Factors to Consider when Choosing Apps for Patient Care Recovery and the Human Connection: When Digital Accountability is Not EnoughMary Andres, PsyD, CADCIIAssociate Professor, University of Southern CaliforniaGetting honest in recovery is difficult. There is something about the felt sense of a nonjudgmental clinician that invites a client to be truthful. The power of attachment is healing and provides accountability. Nuanced responses that are part of therapeutic interactions help clients make strong neural connections that reinforce their commitment to the recovery process. While applications are a vital resource, what is the balance between human contact and technology?

The Ethics of Evaluating Apps for Your ClientsMarlene Maheu, PhD* Executive Director, Telemental Health Institute, Inc. As an ethical professional, which criteria are you using to recommend behavioral “apps”? This presentation outlines how to make sure clients and patients are not harmed by behavioral app recommendations. It will clarify seven dimensions that can help counselors be confident when recommending behavioral apps to clients and get a grasp of the big picture. By the end of this presentation participants should be able to: 1) identify seven key principles to risk management for recommending apps; 2) determine what to include in the informed consent process when suggesting apps; and 3) define the term “evidence-based app”.

Using Mobile Technology to Engage High UtilizersAndrew Shapiro, MBA*Chief Operating Officer, Magellan Behavioral Health of Nebraska, Inc.Tamara Gavin, LCSW*Clinical Director, Magellan Behavioral Health of Nebraska, Inc.Mobile devices can facilitate interaction with care managers and providers, and can be critical for scheduling appointments and contacting providers, arranging transportation services, and maintaining contact with natural and formal supports. Ways in which Magellan’s Mobile Connect program assists eligible adults to receive quality care will be discussed related to improving quality of care and outcomes.


Concurrent SessionsDay Two - Session D

Policy and Security Implications for Using Mobile Technology in Behavioral HealthUnderstanding Security RisksDavid Trepp, MSPresident & Chief Executive Officer, Info@Risk, Inc.Recent headlines and subsequent fines handed down from the government make it clear that information security risks to healthcare providers are increasing in both frequency and severity. This session will focus on understanding who the threat sources are, from criminal hackers to cyber-vigilantes and nation/state-sponsored groups. In addition, threats to ePHI will be explored from all common attack vectors, including physical, social, and technological attacks. Finally, some simple strategies and tactics that can be used to avoid becoming the next cyber-attack victim will be examined.

Mobile Applications for Behavioral Health: Privacy and Security Public PoliciesMario Gutierrez, MPH* Executive Director, Center for Connected Health PolicyDuring this session an overview of state and federal policy issues related to telehealth will be presented with a specific focus on privacy and security issues implications for mobile health in the behavioral health field.

Regulatory Environment Surrounding the Use of Mobile Devices in Behavioral Health Penelope Hughes, JD, MPHHealth Information Policy AttorneyThe regulatory environment surrounding the use of mobile devices in behavioral health that is focused on federal regulations including HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2 and HITECH can be complex and confusing. This presentation will include a discussion of the challenges and opportunities associated with that regulatory environment related to the use of mobile devices and health information technology in the behavioral health field.

Day Two - Session ETechnology-Based Strategies to Reach Underserved Populations Technological Innovations for the Remote Monitoring of Smoking in Adolescents and Emerging AdultsErin McClure, PhDAssistant Professor, Addiction Sciences Division Medical University, South Carolina Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences The majority of adult smokers start prior to age 18, yet little work has been done to understand smoking treatment failure and relapse in adolescents, despite considerable public health relevance. Additionally, cigarette smoking disproportionally affects persons with substance use disorders and other psychiatric illness, making it essential that this understanding extends to other populations. This presentation will highlight the acceptability and feasibility of remote monitoring technology among adolescents and emerging adults, and discuss a novel system to detect smoking and relapse in the natural environment. Study results will provide a more accurate characterization of the complex process of relapse in adolescent smokers through technological integration. This knowledge can then be used to tailor highly effective, just-in-time treatment interventions to promote long-term abstinence among this population, and has the potential to be extended to reach other vulnerable populations.

Concurrent SessionsDay Two - Session E

Technology-Based Strategies to Reach Underserved PopulationsMobile Technology to Improve Behavioral Health Outcomes for Underserved PopulationsAdrian Aguilera, PhD Assistant Professor, School of Social Work, University of California Berkeley; Assistant Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH)This presentation will discuss the potential that mobile technologies hold in improving behavioral health outcomes for low-income and ethnically diverse populations. The ubiquity of mobile technologies and the heavy reliance on these technologies by typically underserved populations provides opportunities for reaching people who often have difficulties accessing high quality behavioral healthcare. Dr. Aguilera will discuss his work utilizing automated text messaging to improve treatment for depression among low-income Latinos. He will also discuss future trends and possibilities in utilizing mobile technologies to improve behavioral health.

Engagement, Choice, and VoiceSixto CancelChief Executive Officer, Think of UsIn this presentation, Sixto Cancel will share how his life’s experience growing up in the foster care system has fueled his passion for youth development and well-being. As an advocate for youth who are aging out of foster care, Mr. Cancel will discuss the ways in which his non-profit program, Think of Us, is using innovative technology and multi-media to build systems- and individual-level capacity to better serve vulnerable populations.


Tech TalksOverview of Behavioral Health Apps and TrackersThe purpose of the Tech Talks is to expose participants to new ideas, theories, and outcomes related to technology use in the behavioral healthcare field through brief, thought-provoking presentations.

Tech-Talk #1: It’s All about Access: Using Mobile Technology to Engage High UtilizersAndrew Shapiro, MBA, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Magellan Behavioral Health of Nebraska, Inc.Tamara Gavin, LCSW, Clinical Director, Magellan Behavioral Health of Nebraska, Inc.Engaging individuals in mental health and substance use disorder services is often difficult, especially for those who lack the resources to pay for phone service, which is critical for scheduling appointments and contacting providers, arranging transportation services, and maintaining contact with natural and formal supports. Magellan’s Mobile Connect program provides eligible adults with a free smartphone and unlimited monthly airtime, text, and data to give them easy access to care manager support and interaction, appointment and medication reminders, helpful health text messaging, as well as access to a variety of online health and wellness support applications and clinic-based services designed to improve quality of care and outcomes while they are enrolled in the program.

Tech-Talk #2: Mobile Phones and Highly Vulnerable Populations – Findings from Research and Interventions with Unstably Housed Veterans

Keith McInnes, ScD, MSc, Research Health Scientist, Center for Healthcare Organization and Implementation Research (CHOIR), VA Medical Center; Research Assistant Professor, Boston University School of Public HealthMobile phones have changed individual behaviors and are increasingly becoming tools for health-related information, monitoring, and behavior change. However, it is unclear to what extent low income and unstably housed persons are benefitting from mobile phones. Results will be presented from surveys and interviews with homeless veterans about their access to and current use of mobile phones, including their interest in health-related applications of mobile phones.

Tech-Talk #3: How to Choose and Use Apps in Behavioral HealthJay Ostrowski, MA, LPCS, NCC, DCC, ACS, President, Behavioral Health InnovationWith so many apps on the market, it is difficult to find a quality application to use in behavioral health treatment. This session will provide guidance on how to efficiently identify a quality app and tips on how best to use them with clients.

Tech-Talk #4: Art of Digital Health Curation: Shaped by ScienceDavid Vinson, Founder and Chief Executive Operator, SocialWellth; Founder and Chairman, DHX; Founder and Chairman, XCertiaWith over 100,000 mHealth apps on the market and a lack of industry-wide standards, providers and consumers are left feeling overwhelmed and unsure. This uncertainty leads to a lack of adoption and/or the usage of subpar mHealth solutions. Ways that industry leaders can help separate the wheat from the chaff with standards around design and behavioral science will be discussed, as well as SCIENCE, which is the missing piece in the mHealth market today.
