ABSTRACT
Background:
The prominence of technology in modern life cannot be understated. However, for some people these innovations or their related plausible advancements, can be associated with perceptual misinterpretation and/or incorporation into delusional concepts.
Objective:
This paper aims to explore the intersection of technological advancement and experiencing psychosis. We present a discussion about the explanation seeking that incorporates the concept, that for some people, of technological innovation becoming intertwined with delusional symptoms over the past 100 years.
Methods:
A longitudinal review of the literature was conducted to synthesise and draw these concepts together, mapping them to a timeline that aligns computing science and healthcare expertise and presents the significant technological changes of the modern era charted against mental health milestones and reports of technology-related delusions.
Results:
It is possible for technology to be incorporated in the content of delusions with evidence supporting a link between the rate of technological change, the content of delusions and the use of technology as a way of seeking an explanation. Moreover, analysis suggests a need to better understand how innovations may impact the mental health of people at risk of psychosis and other mental health conditions.
Conclusions:
Clinical experts and lived experience experts need to be informed about and collaborate with future research and development of technology, specifically artificial intelligence and machine learning, early in the development cycle. This concurs with other artificial intelligence research recommendations calling for design attention to the development and implementation of technological innovation applied in a mental health context.
Background:
The prominence of technology in modern life cannot be understated. However, for some people these innovations or their related plausible advancements, can be associated with perceptual misinterpretation and/or incorporation into delusional concepts.
Objective:
This paper aims to explore the intersection of technological advancement and experiencing psychosis. We present a discussion about the explanation seeking that incorporates the concept, that for some people, of technological innovation becoming intertwined with delusional symptoms over the past 100 years.
Methods:
A longitudinal review of the literature was conducted to synthesise and draw these concepts together, mapping them to a timeline that aligns computing science and healthcare expertise and presents the significant technological changes of the modern era charted against mental health milestones and reports of technology-related delusions.
Results:
It is possible for technology to be incorporated in the content of delusions with evidence supporting a link between the rate of technological change, the content of delusions and the use of technology as a way of seeking an explanation. Moreover, analysis suggests a need to better understand how innovations may impact the mental health of people at risk of psychosis and other mental health conditions.
Conclusions:
Clinical experts and lived experience experts need to be informed about and collaborate with future research and development of technology, specifically artificial intelligence and machine learning, early in the development cycle. This concurs with other artificial intelligence research recommendations calling for design attention to the development and implementation of technological innovation applied in a mental health context.

A descriptive analysis of clients' (n = 73) information collected during routine care for the first 6 months of the clinic's operation, from January 2016 to July 2016, was conducted.

Do you ever wake up still feeling tired, hit the snooze button and then go back to sleep? Only to then find you’re running late for work or school?
With winter arriving now (here in Australia), the days are getting shorter, and often they feel very long and tiring; especially because we’re waking up and it’s still dark outside. Eventually, this routine can take its toll on your performance, as your circadian rhythm (the physical, mental and behavioural changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle) responds primarily to the light and darkness in your environment.

One solution is an alarm clock that wakes you up with a gradual brightening light, naturally resetting your sleep/wake cycle to help you feel refreshed, alert and energised all day. The sunrise effect is a natural cue for your body to reduce the production of sleep hormones (e.g., melatonin), and gradually increase the levels of those that help you get up and go (i.e., cortisol). In Europe, this product is classed as a medical device, and is popular among people suffering insomnia, depression, lack of energy and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Setting: An Aboriginal dedicated dental clinic in the Central Coast Region of NSW, Australia. Methods: Adult patients attending the clinic were interviewed about the impact of dental disease on their day to day lives.
Results:
Fifty adults were interviewed of the 61 who attended for care, giving a response rate of 82%. The major impacts were an aching, painful mouth 76%, self conscious about their teeth 62%, embarrassed about their teeth 62%, and diet impacted by poor oral health 64%. Nearly half required the extraction of at least one tooth. Cost was a major barrier for not seeking care for 62% of the participants. Conclusion: Poor oral health impacted on the lives of the Aboriginal respondents, but the offer of free dental care in an Aboriginal dedicated clinic encouraged attendance for treatment, especially amongst women.},
