Apps are widely used worlwide and are candidate for a growing role as mobile and digital health support services. Their ubiquitous characteristics and their wide dissemination make this technology particularly appealing for psychiatry and addiction medicine. Apps allow for ecological momentary assessment and intervention. It is hypothezised they are able to reach people, to engage them in app related services and to promote behavior change and empowerment. It seems that apps could reach target populations. Sustainable engagement is however still challenging for most of them. Some specific apps are possibly able to promote a given behavior in a specific population.
应用程序在全球范围内被广泛使用，并且作为移动和数字健康支持服务，其作用日益凸显。它们无处不在的特性以及广泛传播使得这项技术在精神病学和成瘾医学领域特别具有吸引力。应用程序允许进行生态瞬时评估和干预。据推测，它们能够接触到人群，使他们参与与应用程序相关的服务，并促进行为改变和增强能力。似乎应用程序可以覆盖目标人群。然而，对大多数应用程序来说，持续吸引用户仍然具有挑战性。一些特定的应用程序可能能够在特定人群中促进某种特定行为。
