ENTER Mental Health Network is pleased to announce its annual 2026 conference, in collaboration with the Société Suisse de Psychiatrie Sociale (SOPSY), Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), Lausanne University (UNIL), the WHO-CC Center on Innovation  in Prevention and Treatment of Disorders Due to Substance Use and Addictive Behaviours and the European Society of Social Psychiatry (ESSP).

​

The meeting will take place at Lausanne University Hospital on 11 June 2026. This gathering will bring together researchers, clinicians, service users, policymakers, and digital-innovation partners to explore how today’s digital environments shape mental health—expanding possibilities for care while generating new forms of risk, inequity, and distress.

​

The programme will feature keynote lectures, parallel scientific sessions, posters, and interactive workshops dedicated to advancing understanding and improving practice in the rapidly evolving landscape of digital mental health.

​Preliminary program

 

Keynote lectures

​

• Rhonda Wilson PhD: Professor of Mental Health Nursing, RMIT Univerity, Austalia
   

This keynote will outline a research program using machine learning and retrospective emergency department datasets to improve triage precision and resource allocation. By identifying determinants of acute mental health admissions, the research transitions from theoretical experimentation to "implementation-ready" digital interventions. These tools are designed to bolster system capacity while prioritizing workforce sustainability and public trust through robust governance.

The presentation will explore AI ethics and health equity, emphasising safeguards against algorithmic bias within ethnically diverse regional populations. Professor Wilson will also evaluate the sustainability of digital tools for workforce wellbeing and critique legislative reforms, such as Australia’s social media ban for minors. The presentation will conclude that the future of mental health innovation lies in aligning algorithmic power with ethical governance and evidence-based, sustainable reform.

• Cristina Crocamo, PhD: Digital Mental Health, School of Medicine and Surgery. University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy

​​
To harness AI responsibly and bridging innovation with patient-centered care, a critical transition from iterative development to sustainable clinical implementation is needed. Rather than replacing clinical judgment, AI can guide professionals, signaling when to slow down, adjust, or pause, supporting more informed decisions. Drawing on practical examples, including conversational agents and speech analysis in clinical interviews, we will illustrate how AI-generated signals and outputs can provide trustworthy, clinically meaningful insights, aligned with therapeutic goals. Key challenges, including fairness, interpretability, and real-world usefulness, will be addressed, alongside strategies to integrate AI responsibly into assessment and treatment planning. The proposed framework balances relational and technical domains, capturing the richness of clinical communication while maintaining methodological rigor.
 

• Alice Vinçon Leite and Olivier Las Vergnas, Paris-Nanterre University and University Lille CIREL-Trigone, France
   

This lecture will start with the presentation of the participatory work of creation by a team from INSERM of a tool entitled Mental+, a free French application made available to young people aged 11 to 24 to allow them to take stock of their mental health, strengthen it or restore it if necessary. From this work, the six major dimensions will be scanned in the framework of this Enter 2026 conference: Digital wellbeing, risk, and resilience - Opportunities for prevention, treatment, and care - Digital tools for digital wellbeing - Digital divides, equity, and global inclusion - Societal responsibility, regulation and training - Research methods and artificial intelligence for digital wellbeing. On each of these six issues, a selection of articles will be presented in order to illustrate the respective state of the art. Finally, a reflective review will be proposed, allowing us to question more precisely the production strategies to be applied to new mental e-health tools, such as Mental+.
