Commentary: All that glisters is not gold – reflections on Hollis et al. 2017

Year: 2017

Type: editorial

Abstract: Digital Health Innovations have great potential to improve access to evidence-based psychological therapies. This comprehensive review and meta-analysis sets out the current state of the field including the efficacy of the interventions for different types of mental health problems and the desirability of the interventions from the patients' perspective. It also highlights the poor methodology of much of the research and suggests important ways forward to improve the quality of the data. The importance of assessing and understanding the potential negative impact of such interventions is emphasised both in the review and the commentary, and suggestions are made to maximise the likelihood that such interventions are accessible within routine services.
