During the ICT&health World Conference, mental healthcare will be given a prominent place, which is much needed. Like the rest of healthcare, the mental health sector faces major challenges, such as increasing demand for care, staff shortages and increasing accessibility.
To address these challenges, Thubble has developed a special mental healthcare programme in cooperation with the Dutch GGZ. This programme provides a stage for inspiring keynotes, interactive sessions and international case studies that contribute to developing future-proof solutions for mental healthcare.
Leading experts
During this conference, leading experts, including Professor David Clark (founder of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies, now: Talking Therapies) and Professor Anil Thapliyal (director of eMental Health International Collaborative), will share their insights, strategies and concrete solutions. Discover how digital innovations contribute to a transformation of the mental health sector, and be inspired by success stories from home and abroad.
The specially developed programme focuses on themes such as data-driven care, value-driven treatment models and putting experiential expertise at the heart of innovation. This makes the mental health programme an essential part of the ICT&health World Conference 2025.
