Abstract

Application of digital mental health is promising for its scalability. With the opportunities it provides, challenges also exist. In this paper, we discussed about issues raised in the current practice of digital mental health services, including cultural adaptation, efficacy evaluation, user dropout, data interoperability, privacy protection, and technology innovation. We hope, by addressing these issues, the development of digital mental health in China can step into the next stage and help improve health equity.
