从2011年到2030年，心理健康状况预计将通过劳动力和资本产出损失给全球经济造成16万亿美元的损失。心理干预的黄金标准，一对一治疗，过于昂贵和劳动密集型，无法跟上心理健康服务需求的预期增长。因此，需要新的解决方案来提高精神卫生保健服务的效率，并增加患者的自我护理。由于全球85%的人口拥有无线信号覆盖，因此移动的技术将心理自我护理融入人们的日常生活并缓解劳动力短缺的机会前所未有。在本文中，我们建议政策制定者向技术创新者寻求指导。例如，谷歌的原则，即“我们知道的十件事”，对于理解移动的技术成功的驱动因素很有用。对于诸如“关注用户，其他一切都会遵循”的原则，我们确定了基于证据的移动的心理健康技术如何增加患者自我护理并减少对一对一心理干预的需求的例子。
From 2011 to 2030, mental health conditions are projected to cost the global economy $16 trillion through lost labor and capital output. The gold standard of psychological interventions, one-on-one therapy, is too costly and too labor-intensive to keep up with the projected growth in demand for mental health services. Therefore, new solutions are needed to improve the efficiency of mental health care delivery and to increase patient self-care. Because 85 percent of the world's population has wireless signal coverage, there is an unprecedented opportunity for mobile technologies to incorporate psychological self-care into people's daily lives and relieve workforce shortages. In this article, we suggest that policy makers look to technology innovators for guidance. For example, Google's principles, called "Ten Things We Know To Be True," are useful for understanding the drivers of success in mobile technologies. For principles such as " focus on the user and all else will follow," we identify examples of how evidence-based mobile mental health technologies could increase patient self-care and reduce the demand for one-on-one psychological intervention.
