尽管越来越多的文献强调了基于智能手机的移动应用程序在帮助自我管理和治疗双相情感障碍方面的潜在好处，但目前尚不清楚这些基于证据的应用程序是否容易获得，并可供应用程序商店的用户使用。利用我们评估心理健康应用程序的系统框架，我们分析了排名前100的双相情感障碍应用程序的可访问性、隐私性、临床基础、功能和互操作性。只有56%的应用在标题、描述或内容中特别提到了双相情感障碍。在一项同行评议的研究中，只有一款应用的有效性得到了支持，32款应用缺乏隐私政策。最常见的功能是情绪跟踪、日记和心理教育。我们的分析表明，在当前的数字环境中，对于寻求基于证据的、临床可用的双相情感障碍应用程序的个人来说，存在很大的局限性。尽管在双相情感障碍的数字干预发展方面已经取得了学术进展，但这项工作尚未转化为公开可用的应用程序市场。这种未被满足的数字情绪管理需求强调了对心理健康应用程序的综合评估系统的需求，我们已经努力通过我们的框架和附带的数据库（apps.digitalpsych.org）提供这种评估系统。
Although a growing body of literature highlights the potential benefit of smartphone-based mobile apps to aid in self-management and treatment of bipolar disorder, it is unclear whether such evidence-based apps are readily available and accessible to a user of the app store. Using our systematic framework for the evaluation of mental health apps, we analyzed the accessibility, privacy, clinical foundation, features, and interoperability of the top-returned 100 apps for bipolar disorder. Only 56% of the apps mentioned bipolar disorder specifically in their title, description, or content. Only one app’s efficacy was supported in a peer-reviewed study, and 32 apps lacked privacy policies. The most common features provided were mood tracking, journaling, and psychoeducation. Our analysis reveals substantial limitations in the current digital environment for individuals seeking an evidence-based, clinically usable app for bipolar disorder. Although there have been academic advances in development of digital interventions for bipolar disorder, this work has yet to be translated to the publicly available app marketplace. This unmet need of digital mood management underscores the need for a comprehensive evaluation system of mental health apps, which we have endeavored to provide through our framework and accompanying database (apps.digitalpsych.org).
