COVID-19大流行促使临床更广泛地采用数字健康工具，包括移动健康应用程序（移动健康应用程序），以远程解决心理和行为健康问题。虽然移动医疗应用程序提供了许多引人注目的好处，但在拥挤且基本上不受监管的市场中识别有效的应用程序是很困难的。尽管研究进展缓慢，但消费者需求和行业生产力正在增长，这使得供应商为有需要的患者确定最可靠、最安全的应用程序变得具有挑战性。本评论提供了一个实用的、经验指导的框架和相关资源，用于在大流行期间和以后为儿科人群选择合适的移动医疗应用程序。在第一阶段，缩小目标问题、最终用户和竞争者应用程序的范围。从包含专家应用评级的不断更新的网站开始搜索可以帮助加快这一过程（如Psyberguide）。其次，探索每个竞争者应用程序的：(a)科学和理论支持（例如，应用程序组件是否与健康行为改变理论一致？），(b)隐私政策，以及(c)用户体验（例如，通过社交媒体对应用程序可用性和吸引力的众包反馈）。第三，利用临床专业知识和利益相关者反馈来确定所选应用程序是否适合特定患者和/或护理人员（例如，考虑年龄、种族/民族、能力、性别、性取向、技术获取），包括对应用程序进行简短的自我试验。年轻人越来越多地转向技术寻求支持，特别是在疫情期间，儿科心理学家必须做好准备，推荐最可信的工具。我们为快速向公众传播基于证据的应用程序提供了额外的建议。
The COVID-19 pandemic has ignited wider clinical adoption of digital health tools, including mobile health apps (mHealth apps), to address mental and behavioral health concerns at a distance. While mHealth apps offer many compelling benefits, identifying effective apps in the crowded and largely unregulated marketplace is laborious. Consumer demand and industry productivity are increasing, although research is slower, making it challenging for providers to determine the most credible and safe apps for patients in need. This commentary offers a practical, empirically guided framework and associated resources for selecting appropriate mHealth apps for pediatric populations during the pandemic and beyond. In the first stage, Narrow the target problem, end user, and contender apps. Beginning the search with continuously updated websites that contain expert app ratings can help expedite this process (e.g., Psyberguide). Second, Explore each contender app’s: (a) scientific and theoretical support (e.g., are app components consistent with health behavior change theories?), (b) privacy policies, and (c) user experience (e.g., through crowdsourcing feedback about app usability and appeal via social media). Third, use clinical expertise and stakeholder feedback to Contextualize whether the selected app is a good fit for a particular patient and/or caregiver (e.g., by considering age, race/ethnicity, ability, gender, sexual orientation, technology access), including conducting a brief self-pilot of the app. Youth are increasingly turning to technology for support, especially during the pandemic, and pediatric psychologists must be primed to recommend the most credible tools. We offer additional recommendations for rapidly disseminating evidence-based apps to the public.
