There are tens of thousands of mental health-related apps available today - representing extreme duplication in this digital age. Instead of a plethora of apps, there is a need for a few that meet the needs of many. Focusing on transparency and free sharing of software, we argue that a collaborative approach towards apps can advance care through creating customisable and future proofed digital tools that allow all stakeholders to engage in their design and use.
当今有上万款心理健康相关的应用程序——这在数字时代代表着极端的重复。与其拥有大量的应用程序,不如集中精力开发几款能满足多数人需求的应用程序。我们主张采取协作的方式开发应用程序,重点关注软件的透明度和免费共享,从而通过创建可定制和面向未来的数字工具来推进护理工作,使所有利益相关者都能参与到这些工具的设计和使用中。
