[E-Mental Health and healthcare apps in Germany].
Der Nervenarzt 2021 October 5
Digitalization trends are having an impact on mental healthcare. Online interventions can promote mental health and complement existing mental healthcare services. Effective online interventions have been developed for a variety of mental health disorders and, overall, patient and practitioner acceptance of such programs is high. The Digital Healthcare Act provides the legal framework for the use of healthcare apps in German routine care. After approval by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices, the costs of certain healthcare apps are now covered by statutory health insurers. However, digital technologies have rarely been used in mental healthcare to date. Reasons include a low level of awareness of such programs as well as a large number of untested applications. Specified quality criteria can provide better orientation for patients and healthcare providers. Further implementation efforts are necessary in order to fully use the potential of digital support options in psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care for the benefit of patients.
