- Title: Advancing a Consent-Forward Paradigm for Digital Mental Health Data
- Authors: Sachin R. Pendse, Logan Stapleton, Neha Kumar, Munmun De Choudhury, Stevie Chancellor,
- Abstract summary: Service users are given little say over how their data is collected, shared, or used to generate revenue for private companies.
We propose an alternative approach that is attentive to this history: the consent-forward paradigm.
This paradigm embeds principles of affirmative consent in the design of digital mental health tools and services.

- Abstract: The field of digital mental health is advancing at a rapid pace. Passively collected data from user engagements with digital tools and services continue to contribute new insights into mental health and illness. As the field of digital mental health grows, a concerning norm has been established -- digital service users are given little say over how their data is collected, shared, or used to generate revenue for private companies. Given a long history of service user exclusion from data collection practices, we propose an alternative approach that is attentive to this history: the consent-forward paradigm. This paradigm embeds principles of affirmative consent in the design of digital mental health tools and services, strengthening trust through designing around individual choices and needs, and proactively protecting users from unexpected harm. In this perspective, we outline practical steps to implement this paradigm, toward ensuring that people searching for care have the safest experiences possible.
