Abstract
La salud mental es un componente vital del bienestar que frecuentemente no se le asigna la
importancia necesaria. En el Perú, se ha observado un aumento significativo en los niveles de
estrés, ansiedad y depresión, especialmente entre jóvenes y adultos, con una falta
generalizada de tratamiento adecuado. Las condiciones y el acceso a servicios de salud
mental son deficientes, agravando este problema en crecimiento, por el impacto de la reciente
pandemia. En respuesta a este desafío, se ha formulado un emprendimiento como propuesta
empresarial destinada a mejorar el acceso a los servicios de salud mental en el país mediante
soluciones digitales. Esta propuesta conecta a los pacientes con especialistas en salud mental
y garantiza bienestar, privacidad, confidencialidad, rapidez y calidad en los tratamientos que
se definan. Además, introduce enfoques innovadores virtuales, como pruebas con algoritmos
para una asignación más precisa de especialistas y terapias para influir positivamente en el
estado de ánimo de los usuarios, en paralelo a las terapias tradicionales. Se debe indicar que
la propuesta se ajusta a las regulaciones legales y normativas vigentes en el tratamiento de la
salud mental en el país y; la tecnología y los medios digitales interactivos permiten que el
proyecto sea escalable en el ámbito nacional y en otras regiones donde los problemas de
salud mental son prominentes. El proyecto a su vez presenta un doble propósito: generar
beneficios económicos a través de los servicios ofrecidos y mejorar la salud mental y la
calidad de vida de los peruanos. Desde una perspectiva social, se alinea con el Objetivo de
Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 3: “Salud y bienestar-Garantizar una vida sana y promover el
bienestar para todos en todas las edades” de las Naciones Unidas, ofreciendo beneficios tanto
individuales como colectivos; sin dejar de lado que la propuesta busca abordar una necesidad
apremiante en un momento en que la salud mental se ha vuelto esencial para el bienestar de la
sociedad. Finalmente, en términos económicos se estima un valor actual neto económico
(VAN) de aproximadamente US$811,529 y financiero de US$746,008 con una tasa interna
de retorno (TIR) de 76.74% y 87.49% en cada caso.
Mental health is a crucial component of well-being that often does not receive the necessary attention. In Peru, there has been a significant increase in stress, anxiety, and depression levels, especially among young people and adults, with a widespread lack of adequate treatment. The conditions and access to mental health services are inadequate, exacerbating this growing problem, compounded by the recent pandemic's impact. In response to this challenge, an entrepreneurial initiative has been developed as a business proposal aimed at improving access to mental health services in the country through digital solutions. This proposal connects patients with mental health specialists and ensures well-being, privacy, confidentiality, speed, and quality in the defined treatments. Additionally, it introduces innovative virtual approaches, such as algorithms for more precise specialist assignments and therapies to positively influence users' moods, parallel to traditional therapies. It should be noted that the proposal complies with current legal and regulatory regulations for mental health treatment in the country, and technology and interactive digital media allow the project to scale nationally and in regions where mental health issues are prominent. The project has a dual purpose: generating economic benefits through the services offered and improving the mental health and quality of life of Peruvians. From a social perspective, it aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: “Good health and well-being Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”, offering both individual and collective benefits. It addresses an urgent need at a time when mental health has become essential for societal well-being. Finally, in economic terms, the estimated economic net present value (NPV) is approximately $811,529 and the estimated financial net present value is $746,008 with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 76.74% and 87.49% respectively.
