Digital Health Solutions in Mental Health Care: The Contributions of Health care professionals in Achieving Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030

Abstract

With an emphasis on enhancing mental health treatment via the use of digital health technologies, Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 seeks to revolutionize the country's healthcare system. In order to improve the delivery and results of mental health treatment in Saudi Arabia, this systematic review examines the contributions made by clinical psychologists, laboratory specialists, social services, x-ray technicians, and neuroradiologists in utilizing digital health technologies. Using pertinent databases, a thorough literature search was carried out, and 60 studies were found for the review. The results demonstrate how digital health solutions, including neurological imaging methods, telepsychology, mobile mental health apps, and social service platforms, can enhance access to mental health services, facilitate early detection and intervention, and support individualized treatment plans. The review also highlights the difficulties that mental health practitioners encounter when implementing and integrating digital health solutions, such as lack of digital literacy, cultural issues, and technological obstacles. Strategies including patient involvement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and workforce training are presented as ways to overcome these obstacles and maximize the use of digital health technologies in mental health care. The evaluation ends with suggestions for further study, legislation, and practice to help Saudi Arabia's mental health care system successfully use digital health technologies and meet Vision 2030 objectives.
