AI, Mental Health, and the Future of Care: How Technology Is Reshaping Mental Health Care
<p>In this episode of Finding Strength: The Spaulding Rehabilitation Podcast, we explore one of the most pressing questions in modern medicine: how artificial intelligence is reshaping mental health care. Joining the conversation is Dr. Dan Barron, a pain physician and psychiatrist who discusses his work on a national steering committee bringing together voices on mental healthcare and AI. Also at the table are Jan Shapiro, a designer and patient advocate whose lived experience gives a personal dimension to the discussion, and Dr. Chris Carter, a psychologist at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital who brings a grounded clinical perspective to AI's promise and risks. Together, they examine what AI tools are getting right, where caution is still warranted, and what it means to use technology not as a replacement for human connection, but as a complement to it.</p><p>Episode Guests</p><p><strong>Chris Carter, PsyD</strong> has been a psychologist specializing in rehabilitation and brain injury for over 40 years. He has been at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital since 2002 working primarily as the primary psychologist on the inpatient brain injury unit. He is an instructor at the Harvard Medical School. He currently works with individuals and their families recovering from traumatic injury or living with a disability in the outpatient clinic at Spaulding Charlestown. </p><p><strong>Dr. Daniel Barron, MD, PhD</strong> is Director of the Pain Intervention and Digital Research Program at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital and is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is an interventional pain physician and psychiatrist whose research, funded by the National Institute on Aging, focuses on developing digital markers of clinically relevant outcomes. He is author of Reading Our Minds: The Rise of Big Data Psychiatry and has written for The Wall Street Journal, TIME, and Scientific American. </p><p><strong>Jan Shapiro</strong> is a designer with decades of experience spanning publishing, fashion, healthcare, and rare disease, including UI work with the National Institutes of Health. She is also a former patient at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, where she recovered from spinal surgery and found support through her work with Dr. Chris Carter. A lifelong artist and advocate for emotional self-awareness, Jan has more recently become an engaged explorer of AI tools, using them for personal reflection, health accountability, and creative brainstorming. </p><p><strong>Episode Article</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.amacad.org/publication/artificial-intelligence-ai-mental-health-care-issues">AI and Mental Health Care: Issues, Challenges, and Opportunities</a></p><p> </p><p>If you are interested in one of the articles highlighted on the show, but are having trouble accessing it, please reach out to us at <a href="mailto:SRNOutcomesCenter@partners.org"><strong>SRNOutcomesCenter@partners.org</strong></a>. </p><p><strong>Subscribe to Finding Strength</strong></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/19uf6qxbqoAZKoqguy9gQ9?si=itVSivxFQzCU2OAaojKe2Q" target="_blank"><strong>Spotify</strong></a> | <a href="https://iheart.com/podcast/109124377/" target="_blank"><strong>iHeartRadio</strong></a> | <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-strength-the-spaulding-rehabilitation-podcast/id1672657817" target="_blank"><strong>Apple Podcasts</strong></a> </p><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p><strong>Shonali Gaudino, OT</strong>, Host, Producer</p><p><strong>Ellyn Pier, MPH</strong>, Host, Producer</p><p><strong>Chuck Clough</strong>, Editor</p><p><strong>Mary Slavin, PhD</strong>, Executive Producer</p><p>This production is a collaboration between, and partially funded by, the <a href="https://spauldingrehab.org/research/programs-labs/rehabilitation-outcomes-center"><strong>Rehabilitation Outcomes Center at Spaulding</strong></a> and our Model Systems: the <a href="https://www.bhbims.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Boston-Harvard Burn Injury Model System</strong></a> (NIDILRR Award #90DPBU0008), the <a href="https://spauldingrehab.org/research/programs-labs/traumatic-brain-injury"><strong>Spaulding-Harvard Traumatic Brain Injury Model System</strong></a> (NIDILRR Award #90DPTB0027-01-01), and the <a href="https://www.snerscic.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Spaulding New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Model System Center</strong></a> (NIDILRR Award #90SIM0017-01-00).</p><p> </p>

Heart Health After Brain Injury: The Cardiovascular Impacts of TBI
<p>In this episode, we down with Dr. Shanti Pinto, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, and Ralph Good, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivor, to discuss the long-term health implications of TBI. Dr. Pinto presents her systematic review and meta-analysis examining the elevated risks of cardiovascular conditions including heart disease, hypertension, and heart failure in people with TBI. Together, the conversation highlights both the current research landscape and the lived experience of TBI as a chronic health condition.</p><p><strong>Episode Guests</strong></p><p><strong>Shanti Pinto, MD, MSCS </strong>is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and a physician-scientist at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.
