Digital offerings

Digital offerings play a growing role in modern treatment of mental disorders and offer a variety of ways to support and supplement therapies. For example, there are now apps that help monitor and document symptoms, such as in the form of digital symptom diaries. Such tools can provide valuable information about the course of a disease and facilitate communication with the treating therapists. There are also digital programs that provide education or offer therapeutic exercises for the time between sessions. Some of these apps are recognized as digital health applications (DIGA) and can be prescribed with a prescription.

Virtual reality in psychosomatics

Highly professional digital technologies are increasingly being used in clinics as well. A particularly innovative example is the use of virtual reality (VR). With the help of VR systems, those affected can experience realistic situations in a safe, therapeutic environment in which they can try out new thinking and behavior patterns. This can be particularly helpful in practicing dealing with difficult everyday situations and improving one's stress management.

These digital tools complement classic therapeutic approaches and make it possible to specifically personalize treatment and positively influence the everyday lives of patients.
