Research problem and specific questions The rapid digitalization of healthcare, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to increased interest in connected mental health applications, particularly telemedicine such as video consultations (VCs). In Sweden, where mental health issues are on the rise, the implementation of these applications poses both opportunities and challenges for healthcare professionals. This research project addresses the gap in existing literature by focusing on the Swedish context and aims to explore how connected mental health applications, with a specific emphasis on VCs, influence the work environment of clinicians. The project comprises three main aims: AIM 1: Explore how the implementation of connected mental health applications, specifically VCs, has influenced the work environment of clinicians. AIM 2: Compare the influence of connected mental health applications, specifically VCs, on the work environment in different mental health contexts, and for different professional groups. AIM 3: Propose recommendations for the design, implementation, and use of connected mental health applications. Data and method To achieve these aims, a mixed-method approach will be employed, including interviews with psychologists and psychiatrists from various mental health contexts (AIM1), a national survey distributed to these professionals (AIM2), and a Delphi study to validate the proposed recommendations (AIM3). We will use the Bianca and Whisper resources for AIM1 - the interviews with psychologists and psychiatrists.
