description This study investigates the intersection of European Privacy Law (PL) and Collaborative Platforms (CP) in the context of mental health, examining their global impact on psychiatric care and the facilitation of work reintegration for individuals with mental health conditions. The research emphasizes the supportive role of PL and Business-to-Business (B2B) digital manufacturing platforms, such as CP, in enhancing the continuum of care. Specifically, it explores how these platforms can aid in societal and workplace integration for patients.Using a quantitative methodology, the study is based on an online survey completed by 167 healthcare professionals (HCPs) specializing in mental health services and psychiatric care. The survey assesses the potential benefits of CP beyond traditional manufacturing roles, focusing on their contributions to pharmaceutical therapy development, support mechanisms, and supply chain management improvements, all under the protections afforded by PL.The findings indicate that integrating PL with CP can significantly enhance efficiency, promote collaboration, and drive innovation in both pharmaceutical production and mental healthcare. This integration is crucial for delivering a comprehensive range of therapeutic services, including immediate crisis response and long-term rehabilitation, within a secure and legally compliant framework. The study highlights the urgent need for the development of robust governance and ethical standards to navigate the challenges and opportunities posed by CP in healthcare. It acknowledges the transformative potential of CP but stresses the necessity of a thorough examination of ethical, regulatory, and compliance issues to ensure their sustainable and ethical implementation.
