The study proposes illustrating the potential of new technologies through a review of current challenges and potential solutions.

Emphasis is placed on the necessity of conducting controlled clinical trials to ascertain the accessibility, feasibility, efficacy, and efficiency of these technologies.

Main Results:

The pandemic has accelerated the adoption and development of new technologies in healthcare.
While technologies show promise, empirical evidence from controlled trials is currently lacking.

Conclusions:

New technologies present a potential pathway to mitigate the mental health care crisis.
Further research, specifically controlled clinical trials, is essential to validate the practical application and effectiveness of these technologies in real-world mental health settings.
