So sad - such a nice man

Remote #CognitiveRemediation is feasible and acceptable so glad to see these platforms set up to help those who cannot make it to the clinic - hope to see more use of CIRCuiTS Therapy and others across the world

CIRCuiTS™ is at #SIRS2024 this week 🧠🇮🇹

Today, we had great conversations with professionals worldwide about using CIRCuiTS™ remotely while presenting our poster.

Berrios lecture Schizophrenia International Research Society 2024 - comparative studies of countries found Java men hallucinated less but it was attributed to different brains. We need to take #culture seriously - within and between countries

Now he points out that “in our culture” qualifies descriptions of #mentalHealth diagnoses but don’t quantify or describe #culture effects.

German Berrios on history ⁦Schizophrenia International Research Society⁩ #SIRS2024 - lest we do not forget that in 19th century we began to categorise madness. We are still waiting for another revolution.

Professor Dame Til Wykes as discussant raises some important questions for future work
#sirs2024

How do you define what your intervention does and what Adverse Events need to be reported?
No problem, iCharts made this handy diagram to help you define across core features:
#sirs2024

The iCharts group have pulled together a Standard Operating Procedure based on available evidence to support better reporting in the future.
Define:
- Responsibilities
- Adverse Events
- How to elicit AE reporting
- Staff Training
- Local safety reporting requirements
#sirs2024

Reporting criteria vary across frameworks, countries, what ‘counts’ as an adverse event, what lived experience reporting highlights as an impactful event. #sirs2024

Relevant AERs tended to focus on exacerbation of affective and psychosis symptoms. Some covered impact of hardware, e.g. sensory aspects of apps on hardware, like buzzing.
More work needed to improve reporting and highlight what AERs are in publications.
