Business and Psychological Aspects of Viable Mental Health Digital Tools
Get PDFThis study aims to understand the industry potential of the mental health mobile tool market and articulate how it intersects with consumer attitudes to determine the viability of digital tools in the mental health space. Themes regarding the prevalence of mental health concerns, the role of technology, and the ethics of integrating technology into mental healthcare can be found throughout the study. Market research was conducted to understand the industry in terms of the Porter’s Five Forces framework, recognizing low supplier power, a medium threat of new entry, and a high threat of substitution, competitive rivalry, and buyer power. A survey was conducted to assess consumer attitudes towards digital tools for mental health, which play a significant role in determining the industry’s potential to compete with substitutes, gain buyer interest, and stand out against rivals. Utilizing a taxonomy to analyze qualitative results from 201 participants illustrates that key concerns of consumers include privacy, human complexity, validity and danger, and that consumers are most optimistic about the increased accessibility, gained assurance, and ease that digital tools provide. Statistical analyses testing correlations and differences in groups emphasize the importance of recognizing a target audience, tailoring to underrepresented groups, and recognizing the vulnerability of the population at hand when creating a viable mental health mobile tool
Synthesis and Evaluation of Sorbicillinoids
No full textSorbicillinoids are a rich family of natural products that have intrigued and inspired scientists since their initial discovery in 1948. A recent report by Zhang et al. detailed the discovery of several new monomeric sorbicillinoids that are particularly interesting as they show nitric oxide (NO) inhibition in RAW264.7 monocyte cell assays and thus possess potential as anti-inflammatory agents. Based on this information, obtaining more of these novel compounds and establishing a preliminary structure activity relationship (SAR) could be achieved by modulating the substitution pattern on the molecules’ benzene ring and varying the alkyl chain length. To this end, a flexible convergent synthesis of a simpler analogous compound related to the desired natural products has been devised. This process can also be applied to the exploration of a synthesis for the natural products and further analogs
