Empowering the Behavioral Health System with Home-Based Technology Solutions

Conclusion In many ways, home-based health technology is the natural next step in the evolution of behavioral healthcare. Individuals who face the daunting challenges of mental health conditions and substance use disorders need ongoing support, but they also need a sense of control over their own lives.
