Abstract
Psychotherapy Research in the Era of Digital Health and AIThe integration of digital health technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) into psychotherapy research represents a transformative shift in mental health care. Traditional psychotherapy relies heavily on face-to-face interactions, limiting accessibility, scalability, and opportunities for continuous monitoring of patient progress. Emerging digital tools, including teletherapy platforms, mobile applications, virtual reality (VR) and AI-powered conversational agents are increasingly being evaluated as adjuncts or alternatives to conventional therapy, opening new frontiers in both research and clinical practice.
