Leveraging Blockchain and IIoT for Sustainable Workplace Mental Well-Being: A Clinical Psychology Approach
Abstract
The adoption of Blockchain and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has redefined mental healthcare by strengthening data security, enhancing stress management, and improving therapeutic efficiency. This study investigated the influence of blockchain-driven IIoT solutions on psychological well-being, with a focus on stress reduction, cognitive load management, therapist satisfaction, and cybersecurity trust. Drawing on Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and Psychological Safety frameworks, this analysis examines how these technologies streamline mental healthcare workflows while mitigating digital stressors. Key components include automated blockchain-based security mechanisms, Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven therapy optimizations, and advanced encryption techniques that reinforce confidentiality and facilitate informed decision-making in digital therapy settings. Through statistical analyses such as paired t-tests, Chi-square tests, and regression models, this study validates the effectiveness of blockchain and IIoT in alleviating stress, reducing cognitive fatigue, and minimizing cybersecurity-related anxiety while enhancing therapist efficiency and patient engagement. These findings underscore the pivotal role of blockchain and automation in cultivating a secure, efficient, and psychologically supportive mental healthcare environment.
