Digital Platform for Pediatric Mental Health Support During Armed Conflicts: Development and Usability Study
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a collaborative development process in creating a digital tool that addresses the mental health needs of children in crisis situations. The positive feedback from pediatricians indicated that the platform has the potential to become a valuable resource for early recognition, crisis intervention, and parental support in community pediatric settings. Future research will focus on broader implementation and assessing the platform's impact on clinical outcomes.
