Digital Phenotyping and Wearables for Precision Youth Mental Health By the end of this session participants will be able to: -Describe how digital health technologies (DHTs) can be used to collect real-time, objective data on mood, behaviours and physiological indicators. -Explain how these data contribute to a more personalized understanding of psychobiological drivers in child and youth -Evaluate the capacity of DHTs to improve mental health diagnosis, enable early detection of treatment response and relapse, and facilitate patient monitoring.

Population data for precision mental health: modeling the exposome By the end of this session participants will be able to: -Show how large studies like Spit for Science reveal how genetics, environment, and social factors together affect children's health. -Link environmental exposures, social determinants, and gender diversity to mental health traits like ADHD, autism, mood, anxiety, and OCD. -Stress the need for diverse samples in research to enable early diagnosis and tailored interventions for child mental health.
