Commentary: All that glisters is not gold – reflections on Hollis et al. 2017
Open accessAbstract
Digital Health Innovations have great potential to improve access to evidence‐based psychological therapies. This comprehensive review and meta‐analysis sets out the current state of the field including the efficacy of the interventions for different types of mental health problems and the desirability of the interventions from the patients’ perspective. It also highlights the poor methodology of much of the research and suggests important ways forward to improve the quality of the data. The importance of assessing and understanding the potential negative impact of such interventions is emphasised both in the review and the commentary, and suggestions are made to maximise the likelihood that such interventions are accessible within routine services.

The benefits of DMH interventions, including increased engagement and motivation, fidelity to intervention protocols, and opportunities for personalization, remain largely unrealized.

Personalization is consistently mentioned as one of the biggest advantages of digital solutions, but personalization, dynamic adjustment, and tailoring have not been realized with DMH tools thus far.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
