Mental illness affects all people regardless of age, race, location, or nationality and is an incredible burden to individuals, families, employers, and society. Cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Mobile Health (mHealth) apps, and digital phenotyping systems are enabling us to re-invent how we detect, monitor, and treat mental illness.

 

Housed at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine, BRiTE is a mission-driven research center designed to bring together investigators, clinicians, technologists, patients, and healthcare leaders with a common goal of improving the lives of those suffering with mental illness, their families, and communities. Harnessing the Pacific Northwest’s innovative spirit, we work with research teams, industry, healthcare systems large and small, and individuals invested in developing creative technologies to improve population mental health, in our lifetime.
