Abstract
Identify and review alternative (home-based) therapies for prolonged lockdowns. Interdisciplinary study using multi-method approach – case study, action research, grounded theory. Only secondary data has been used in this study. Epistemological framework based on a set of digital humanities tools. The set of tools are based on publicly available, open access technological solutions, enabling generalisability of the findings. Alternative therapies can be integrated in healthcare systems as home-based solutions operating on low-cost technologies.
Highlights
Covid-19 has challenged the perception that humans are ‘autonomous and in control’ and exposed human vulnerabilities that threaten our social existence [1]
This study developed solutions for alternative therapies that can be applied with low-cost mobile devices for managing metal health during a Disease X event—while preserving the patients security, privacy and trust
The article presented a conceptual epistemological framework based on digital humanities tools that can be used for alternative therapies during prolonged lockdowns
Summary
Covid-19 has challenged the perception that humans are ‘autonomous and in control’ and exposed human vulnerabilities that threaten our social existence [1]. This article reviews 11 alternative (home-based) mental health therapies, based on arts and humanities and new (low-cost) mobile technologies. Since the small animals can survive living with humans, when we change the ecology, they leave and move to urban areas They can spread viruses in areas with. Health and Technology (2021) 11:1101–1107 low hygiene and high population density, which presents favourable conditions for viruses. Some of these viruses reach a global hub (e.g., Wuhan). To prepare for Disease X, national healthcare policies need to support the adaptation of new technologies in healthcare systems to maximise the benefit from new digital solutions for pandemic management. The less developed regions (e.g., Africa) have not been able to respond as fast to the Covid-19 challenges and are not getting the best benefit from new digital solutions
