Technology changes the way people live and work. Much of this change happens rapidly, following a hype around a technological innovation or invention. However, what is a hype, how does it emerge, and how do specific stakeholders contribute to it? In this thesis we want to understand better how press and major media depict technological hypes and, more specifically, how stakeholders in IT are affected by it. The goal is to describe hype as a phenomenon of a globalized, interconnected world and to relate it to practice of software developers, inventors, and technology creators.

Information technology and the rise of mental health apps promised to be a game-changer in personalized health care. Various research fields, as well as practitioners, have designed and investigated apps to alter patient's unhealthy behavior and help them in the treatment of their diseases. Recent uptake of foundation models promises to revolutionize patient care for mental health by providing access to agents who can support patients suffering from depression or anxiety disorder. Those applications introduce a new distribution of tasks concerning who is doing what. Are the apps replacements of professional psychotherapy? Do they form a complementation of this therapy? What are the tasks of therapists and patients in the treatment involving such apps? The landscape is evolving very fast and we lack an overview of what is happening.
