Abstract

This article addresses the concept of digital public health and explores its application in the field of mental health, focusing on technology mediation as a potential tool to improve care and well-being of individuals. Scientific evidence shows that technological mediation in mental health can have a positive and significant impact on patient outcomes. However, it highlights the importance of addressing equitable access to these digital interventions and collaboration between users and mental health professionals in the design and development of effective solutions. The case of the company Saluta, a digital health center that has led several innovations in mental health through accessible and quality digital platforms, is presented. Finally, strategies are proposed to evaluate the impact of technological mediation in digital health care, including constant monitoring of results, research with solid scientific evidence, and the involvement of users in the design and evaluation process.
