Therapie-Apps und digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen in der Behandlung der adulten Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit‑/Hyperaktivitätsstörung: ein Überblick
摘要
Digital interventions for day-to-day use in adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be a useful further treatment option in addition to established ADHD treatments.
ObjectiveThis review of the literature presents the digital interventions for adults with ADHD in Germany that are currently available or in advanced development.
Material and methodsThe aim is the identification and characterization of the digital interventions available for adult ADHD with a special focus on key features, modes of use, evidence achieved so far and maturity levels.
ResultsIn total, six applications for adults with ADHD (attexis, AwareMe App, AwareMe Chatbot, hiFoon, NeuroNation MED, ORIKO) were identified. Clinical studies with initial proof of efficacy have already been carried out for some of the interventions, for the remainder clinical studies are planned or are currently being carried out.
ConclusionOne of the digital interventions is already available on prescription in Germany as so-called digital healthcare apps (digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen, DiGA). Other developers plan to seek regulatory approval in the near future. Innovation potential is seen particularly in the translation of existing applications into new languages and in the future integration of mobile sensing functions.
