Abstract
In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, physical presence is no
longer necessary, and since the covid-19 pandemic, most operations have
been virtual, and with many people working from home, leading to social
isolation, and there has been a steady decline in social interaction
over the last few decades, which can adversely affect mental and
physical health. The loss of a family member, the loss of a job,
divorce, or financial hardship can all result in social isolation,
discrimination, and a lack of social support. Due to these factors, many
people suffer from depression, anxiety, and a variety of other diseases.
To overcome this problem, we must be happier in our lives, engage in
more social interactions, and be more culturally oriented. Encourage the
patient to participate in the surrounding activities, events, functions
and share with him the positive and happiest content that can be found
on social media so that he can engage in those activities as well. In
this chapter, we will discuss how robotic process automation and machine
learning technology will improve the efficiency of this process. Robots
will analyze social media videos, texts, and messages for sentiment
analysis, user recommendations, and social network analysis, and share
filtered happy context messages with emotionally depressed individuals.
Virtual reality, online communities, and social media can facilitate
mental health support, cultural engagement, and creative expression. As
their mental health and happiness improve, they can make a greater
contribution to society.
