Patient Satisfaction with Digital Health Solutions for Depression Treatment: A Scoping Review

Patients with chronic illnesses need innovative counseling strategies for better self-care throughout their condition. The effectiveness of digital health treatments for managing depression and treatment adherence remains unclear due to fragmented evidence. This scoping review investigates existing research on digital health treatments for depressive disorders, particularly focusing on patient satisfaction. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL for 386 studies published up to 2024, resulting in nine studies being analyzed. The findings suggest that digital health interventions generally improve patient satisfaction, though this was not a primary focus in most studies. Further research is needed to better integrate digital health solutions into depression treatment.
