 vides an overview of some of the latest work being conducted by the digi
 tal mental health consortium based at eOrygen\, the digital mental healt
 h division of Australia's Orygen: The National Centre of Excellence in Y
 outh Mental Health. The origin of eOrygen is its moderated online social
  therapy (MOST) project and resulting MOST web platform\, which integrat
 es Facebook-style social networking\, psychoeducational therapy units an
 d forum-based crowdsourcing\, all within a clinical and peer moderated e
 nvironment. By tailoring therapy content to target the treatment of spec
 ific conditions and adding any required code customisations\, the flexib
 le MOST platform enables the setting up of individual sites for a variet
 y of mental health cohorts and has to date powered an array of trial int
 erventions for conditions including depression\, psychosis and social an
 xiety.\n\nHaving established the MOST program\, eOrygen and members of t
 he University of Melbourne’s School of Computing and Information Systems
  are now conducting work on using tools and technologies from artificial
  intelligence\, smartphone/ubiquitous computing and virtual reality to b
 oth enhance the MOST system and to generate new projects in this digital
  mental health ecosystem.\n\nBio: [https://people.eng.unimelb.edu.au/dal
