This may be one of the biggest stories in psychiatry for the year and its impact will be profound. With the NIMH loosing their top research psychiatrist to Google - it will be interesting to see if the research agenda at NIMH changes course and what Google may soon be producing. If nothing else, this move signifies that digital mental health is not a fad and that we will be seeing more tools like smartphone apps, wearables, and computer programs targeted towards mental health.
