Providers, patients, and payers will benefit from an AHRQ brief that evaluates mental health mHealth apps.
To assist in the process of selecting resources, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) issued a brief called “Evaluation of Mental Health Mobile Applications” to help healthcare experts pick out mental health mHealth apps.
Through the new brief, AHRQ aims to aid providers, patients, and payers in selecting mental health mobile applications and seeking the best fit based on various features. AHRQ said picking out apps is often tedious, so a more streamlined approach is needed.
Specifically, the report covers three areas: risk and mitigation strategies, functions, and mental health app features.
