“…E-health constitutes the use of digitally enabled technologies to facilitate the exchange of clinical, administrative, and transactional data ubiquitously in healthcare settings and has the potential to offer enormous value for all actors operating in healthcare including patients and healthcare providers [1,2]. Yet, taking advantage of the benefits that pervasive e-health can provide to improve the delivery of effective quality services in healthcare remains elusive for e-health entrepreneurs.…”

“…With the information-intensive nature of healthcare, e-health can create enormous opportunities for all healthcare actors including patients, healthcare providers and other actors. Specifically, e-health can enable patients to use healthcare services conveniently and effectively as need arises, whilst also facilitating the delivery of healthcare services for providers [2].…”

In a context where healthcare costs are increasing exponentially worldwide, both developed and developing countries and making e-health a priority. However, reducing the disparity in healthcare quality and delivery by way of pervasive e-health solutions remains elusive. At least in part, this is attributed to the inherent complexity that characterizes modern healthcare environments. In order to improve current understanding and tackle such complexity, we argue how research in pervasive e-health can be enhanced by using actor-network theory (ANT).

The key role for IS/IT in e-health has now been well established; however, within e-health the area of e-mental health is still new and emerging and scholars and practitioners alike are dubious as to the role for IS/IT and its benefits. We propose using Actor-network Theory (ANT) to assist in understanding the enabling role in e-mental health and we focus on one area of mental health, adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We focus on Saudi Arabia. Attention to ADHD has begun to gain growing attention from Saudi Arabia healthcare providers and researchers. Currently, there is an estimated 15% of school age children suffering from ADHD. More than half of these children are expected to continue to show the symptoms of ADHD through their adolescence and adulthood. ADHD impacts the quality of life these individuals. Technology has the potential to improve mental health services this can be seen in enabling early intervention or treatment for people with mental health issues. Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in e-health and aiming to build a complete patient electronic record by 2020.
