Article Abstract

Digital health applications (apps) have been available on prescription since 2019 and offer a multitude of functions in health monitoring, symptom recognition, follow-up monitoring and patient care. The Digital Care Act from 2023 strives for a comprehensive integration of apps into medical care. The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in health apps promises an earlier diagnosis, sensitive symptom monitoring, optimization of courses of treatment, more effective doctor-patient communication and saving of resources. The integration of health apps and AI can enable a stronger personalized high-value care.
