This case study explores the application of Mentimeter as a sociometric tool in the context of modern leadership and mental healthcare. During the 7th International Association for Group Psychotherapy and Group Processes African regional conference in Monastir, Tunisia, an interactive online app, Mentimeter, was utilized to engage participants in workshops and round-table discussions. The study highlights the effectiveness of Mentimeter in enhancing audience engagement, visualizing real-time data, and promoting inclusive participation. It demonstrates how this cloud-based tool can address cultural biases, foster dynamic interactions, and provide immediate feedback. The findings suggest that Mentimeter’s capabilities are beneficial as a sociometric tool in different settings, making it versatile for understanding and improving group social dynamics.
