Description
Smart and digital wellbeing initiatives play a significant role in modern healthcare. This chapter explores current initiatives, their use and effectiveness, as well as their challenges and future directions, with a special focus on mental health. It explores digital wellbeing, the growing need for initiatives, and the tools available in India and the world. These initiatives enhance accessibility, reduce stigma, offer personalized interventions, and improve psychological and workplace wellbeing. However, current technology, especially AI-based chatbots, have limited user interaction and authentic therapeutic support. Additionally, biased datasets can lead to flawed responses and issues with inclusive support. Current initiatives face privacy concerns due to a lack of regulatory bodies, emphasizing the need for robust regulation and oversight. Collaborative development, appropriate marketing and improved security are key to improving existing initiatives. Future research needs to address and explore these concerns to ensure the development of effective and ethical initiatives. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
