Digital Health and Mental Health Unit

Our research concerns identifying, predicting, and treating disease-related emotional distress among those affected by the disease or close ones. Together with people with own experience of disease in one-self and close ones we develop, test, evaluate, and implement psychological interventions, several of these are webbased. We also investigate whether different recruitment methods and methods to support continued participation in research studies has an impact on recruitment and retention rates.

The unit includes the research groups Healthcare Sciences and e-Health, Participatory eHealth & Health data Research Group (PeHR), PERCEPT - Mental Imagery and Mental Health, Cardiovascular Psychology and the strategic research programme Uppsala University Psychosocial Care Programme (U-CARE).
