General information for adults. Not medical or psychotherapeutic advice; not a substitute for examination, diagnosis or treatment.
What is the service supposed to do?
Distinguish information, peer exchange and applications with a medical purpose. Identify the specific effect being claimed. A diary, information page and treatment programme do not automatically have the same goal.
What does DiGA mean in Germany?
Digital health applications go through an official process for inclusion in Germany’s DiGA directory. Safety, quality and data protection are among the requirements considered. [1]
Why does listing status matter?
Provisional listing can occur while evidence of positive care effects is still being gathered. It differs from permanent listing. Check the current status and intended indication in the official directory. [1]
What could you check?
Who runs it? Who is it for? What studies are cited? What data are processed? What fees and cancellation conditions apply? Is professional support available, and are limitations clear?
What can this portal not decide?
We do not recommend a product here. Whether a specific application fits someone’s circumstances belongs in a professional discussion. Germany’s DiGA rules do not automatically apply elsewhere. Official DiGA directory (Germany).
