About

Matthew C. Mishkind is a leading voice in the rapidly evolving field of digital mental health, with a particular focus on how advanced technologies can transform clinical care. His work is centered on the practical and ethical integration of telepresence, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) into therapeutic settings. Mishkind’s most-cited paper, “A Review of Telepresence, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality Applied to Clinical Care” (2020, 146 citations), serves as a foundational synthesis of the evidence and potential for these immersive tools. In this work, he critically evaluates how VR and AR can enhance exposure therapy, pain management, and skills training, while also addressing the crucial barriers of accessibility and implementation fidelity. Beyond this review, Mishkind has been instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines for telehealth, ensuring that innovation does not outpace safety and efficacy. His contributions have helped bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and evidence-based practice, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the future of remote and immersive mental health interventions.
