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.
数字化趋势正在对精神卫生保健产生影响。在线干预可以促进精神健康,并补充现有的精神卫生保健服务。针对多种精神障碍已经开发出了有效的在线干预措施,总体而言,患者和从业者对这类项目的接受度很高。《数字医疗法案》为德国常规医疗中使用医疗应用程序提供了法律框架。经联邦药品和医疗器械研究所批准后,某些医疗应用程序的费用现在由法定健康保险公司承担。然而,到目前为止,数字技术在精神卫生保健中的应用还很少。原因包括对此类项目的认知度较低以及大量未经测试的应用程序。明确的质量标准可以为患者和医疗服务提供者提供更好的指导。为了充分利用数字支持选项在精神科和心理治疗护理中的潜力以造福患者,还需要进一步的实施努力。
