MINDapps.org leading in open sharing

A new review of mental health app databases reports “Through this process, the M-Health Index and Navigation Database (MIND), developed by the Division of Digital Psychiatry at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, was identified as the only currently active and publicly accessible clearinghouse providing comprehensive, multi-domain evaluations of mental health apps. MIND includes reviews of more than 500 apps and uses a 105-question framework derived from the American Psychiatric Association’s App Evaluation Model, assessing domains such as accessibility, privacy and security, clinical foundation, engagement, and therapeutic goal. The database is freely available online and is periodically updated to incorporate newly developed apps and changes in existing apps’ features or functionality (digitalpsych.org; mindapps.org).” Full paper at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41347-026-00610-w#Tab1
