Digital health applications (DiGA) for borderline personality disorder (BPD) are still a relatively new and underresearched topic but hold great potential, especially considering that there is no single approved medication for BPD. So far, one DiGA (priovi) has been permanently approved for BPD by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). Concerns related to this topic mainly relate to patient safety and the lack of a therapeutic relationship; however, studies on priovi have actually shown positive findings regarding the therapeutic relationship and its use seems to increase safety rather than compromise it. That said, there is still a significant need for further research in this field. In the practical application each clinician must consider the individual situation of their patient and integrate a DiGA into the treatment plan in a way that seems to best suit the specific patient's needs.
