Mental Health and Well-Being Products/Apps and Their Challenges

Abstract

Over recent times, multitudinous internal health apps (MHapps) have been developed and made available to smartphone druggies. The pandemic, of course, has put employees under a kind of mental strain few have likely experienced before, so it's no wonder more businesses are looking for ways to help workers who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness. In recent years, apps aiming to address all of those issues have proliferated. The boon of mental health application downloads during Covid-19 soared, and while interest will remain, there are bound to be some digital health apps that disappear. During those strange times, people couldn't go and see a doctor face to face about their mental ill-health or go to therapy appointments. Just as with most areas of healthcare impacted by the pandemic, mental health had to go digital. Digital mental health products and digital and virtual therapy have been shown to be comparable to real-life therapy for many patients.
