Mental Link 愉心靈
健康與福祉
Devastating damage to mentally ill patients is caused by misdiagnosis and wrong medications – affecting over 65% of patients annually. Mental illness, unlike other chronic illnesses, can send patients down a dark journey to suffer in silence and lose hope. However, in the Hong Kong public sector, patients only receive an average of 4 minutes of psychiatric consultation time. This forces doctors to risk patients’ safety and sacrifices the quality of treatment – potentially putting the patient, their carer and others in great danger.
Mental Link is a mobile app linking doctors and patients for effective and efficient consultations. The app aims to fully utilise the limited consultation time without sacrificing patient safety or quality of care.
The app benefits both psychiatrists and patients with helpful functions and intuitive patient history interfaces. Mental Link resolves the problem of providing psychiatric care within a limited time. The key benefits are:
