Abstract:
Digital interventions (DI) are emerging as promising tools to support individuals with psychoses and complement traditional therapeutic approaches. This overview examines the usability and efficacy of recently developed DI (including virtual reality, smartphone and online interventions) designed to enhance treatment outcomes in psychoses. While emerging evidence suggests their efficacy in reducing positive, cognitive and affective symptoms in comparison to treatment as usual and other active therapies, evidence from large, controlled trials is still scarce. Further research is needed to refine intervention strategies, enhance long-term outcomes and develop implementation frameworks that ensure accessibility within routine care. Their full integration into mental health services requires sustained efforts in research, policy and clinical practice. Key remaining challenges include the design of autonomic interventions, discovery of new treatment targets relevant to patients and creating solutions for sustainable funding of these applications beyond clinical research studies.
