Evaluation of usability and acceptability of a Peruvian telemental health service for early assessment among vulnerable occupational workers: Mixed-method study with a user-centered design approach

The proposal for mental health telehealth services and its supporting platform was successfully developed and accepted by both internal and external users, particularly within well-structured occupational health services in workplaces serving vulnerable occupational groups. In addition, it achieved higher satisfaction and usability scores than Peru's outpatient care services. These findings support the replicability of user-centered design frameworks-such as design thinking-within the occupational health sphere.

Abstract

The proposal for mental health telehealth services and its supporting platform was successfully developed and accepted by both internal and external users, particularly within well-structured occupational health services in workplaces serving vulnerable occupational groups. In addition, it achieved higher satisfaction and usability scores than Peru's outpatient care services. These findings support the replicability of user-centered design frameworks-such as design thinking-within the occupational health sphere.
