Abstract—In a pre-pandemic scenario, 350 million people in
the world suffer from depression, 60% of whom do not receive
treatment. In Peru, every 22 minutes someone tries to take his
or her own life. In the world, 800 000 people do so, mainly due
to depression. Of the people who suffer from this disease, 75%
do not do anything about it. This is due to the barrier of
misinformation about mental health, its importance and the
services available. In spite of this, in the case of the people who
do get treatment, many of them end up abandoning it because it
does not meet the special expectations of each patient.
Therefore, a redesign of the patient attraction process has been
proposed using BPM and Scrum Methodology. This proposal
will also apply Digital Marketing to launch a web platform that
automates the entire patient recruitment process. The current
patient acquisition rate is 50% of the industry standard and the
rate of digital tools usage is 60%. After the implementation of
the proposed model, these rates increased to 76% and 100%,
respectively.
