We’re pleased to share that Krysti Vo, MD, founder of Vo.Care, was recently featured in TelemedTrends in an exclusive interview titled “The Future of Psychiatry: AI, Wearables, and the Path to Smarter Mental Health Care.”
In this one-on-one feature, Dr. Vo offers an in-depth perspective on how technology is reshaping psychiatric care. The interview explores how artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and telehealth platforms are moving psychiatry toward more personalized, proactive, and scalable care—without losing sight of the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work.
She discusses how AI, once limited to administrative tasks, is now being developed to assist with diagnosis, triage, and crisis prediction. These tools can help providers identify patterns earlier and support clinical decisions with greater precision. On the topic of wearable technology, Dr. Vo outlines how behavior- and physiology-tracking devices could one day help clinicians respond to patients’ needs in real time. However, she also underscores the legal and ethical complexity involved in implementing such tools responsibly.
The conversation also highlights how telehealth has opened new doors for access—particularly for patients in rural areas, those with limited mobility, or people who find it easier to engage from home. For neurodiverse individuals, for example, virtual sessions may feel safer, calmer, and more aligned with how they process the world.
At Vo.Care, these reflections speak directly to our mission: to create accessible, science-backed digital mental health tools that support real people in real-life situations. Technology is not a replacement for care—but it can help build a system that listens better, responds faster, and includes more people.
