8 consumer-friendly digital tools to support behavioral health (mobihealth news):
“From virtual therapy to mindfulness and meditation aids, there’s little shortage of digital tools catching investors’ eyes and breaking into the crowded behavioral health market. Although a number of these services are positioning their business to focus on payers and employers, many others are taking their products directly to consumers via monthly subscriptions, one-time retail purchases or outright free downloads.
Of course, having a wealth of options and varying quality of evidence can make selecting the most effective digital tool quite a challenge.
