In this week's episode, I speak with Dr. Hipolito, an Assistant Professor at Macquarie University, on artificial intelligence, cognition and mental health.
We discuss:

- Digital mental health apps: their advantages and concerns about data privacy, reliability, and the potential for algorithmic bias.
- Smart virtual environments, and their advantages and drawbacks that come with it.
- The future of virtual environments for mental health
