“…In the past 30 years, the scope of DMHIs for the delivery of mental health services has evolved exponentially, ranging from the framework of "eHealth", through telemedicine or Internet-based interventions (IBIs;Ritterband et al, 2006), to "mHealth", through mobile digital interventions such as smartphones or virtual or augmented reality applications (Miralles et al, 2020;Price et al, 2014;Wiederhold, 2015). Currently, and given the demand for mental health resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, all of these digital solutions have received particular interest because of the opportunities they provide in terms of accessibility, costeffectiveness, personalization, and attractiveness (Balcombe & De Leo, 2021).…”

The prevalence of mental disorders continues to increase, especially with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we have evidence-based psychological treatments to address these conditions, most people encounter some barriers to receiving this help (e.g., stigma, geographical or time limitations). Digital mental health interventions (e.g., Internet-based interventions, smartphone apps, mixed realities -virtual and augmented reality) provide an opportunity to improve accessibility to these treatments. This article summarizes the main contributions of the different types of digital mental health solutions. It analyzes their limitations (e.g., drop-out rates, lack of engagement, lack of personalization, lack of cultural adaptations) and showcases the latest sophisticated and innovative technological advances under the umbrella of precision medicine (e.g., digital phenotyping, chatbots, or conversational agents). Finally, future challenges related to the need for real world implementation of these interventions, the use of predictive methodology, and hybrid models of care in clinical practice, among others, are discussed.

“…For DTx to gain broader acceptance, patients and clinicians require proof of safety and efficacy. When I wrote about mobile mental health care 6 years ago, 8 I noted that although studies were beginning to show the evidencebased effectiveness of mental health apps, there was still much work to be done before the benefits of the digital revolution in health care could be fully realized. This statement remains as true today as it was in 2015.…”
