Digital health applications (DiGA) delivered as psychosocial therapeutic interventions entail a huge potential through their proven medical benefit or patient-relevant structure and process improvements. Their usage as first-line or concomitant therapy is refunded by the German health insurances. Therefore, the digital health applications have to pass a complex evidence process as requested by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Services. The present article aimed at critically evaluating the available evidence of the permanently registered DiGA using the Critically Appraised Topic method. In conclusion, all studies fulfil at least two thirds of the evaluation criteria, implying that the overall evidence is of sufficient quality.
