Evidence for Digital Mental Health Assessment Tools in the Post–COVID-19 Era: Protocol for a Systematic Review on Diagnostic Accuracy Across Age Groups
The review aims to present the validity and quality of the diagnostic accuracy of digital mental health assessment tools across different ages (including children and older adults), particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic due to the exponential increase in development and use of such tools. This review will provide evidence for the wider deployment of digital mental health assessment tools across a wide age range. There will also be a discussion about future research for digital tools and avenues for policy around digital mental health assessments.
