<p class="MsoNormal">Technology is allowing the acquisition of unprecedented
information related to individuals’ mental health, emotional wellbeing and
resilience as well as the provision of novel methods of mental disease
treatment. However, to date, much of the research has been overly focused on
the technical domains, and despite the critical role that businesses play within
the development of mental healthcare, the impact upon society and humans has
received relatively little attention. This special session of BIH will provide
a space where the business and technology (especially Big Data technology) of
personalised mental healthcare meet. We are interested in discussing how to
leverage the opportunities offered by recent technological advancements in
order to build new business models that provide improved mental health services
for both healthy subjects and diagnosed patients.</p>
