“…Tang et al [ 18 ] developed the app ‘MamaLift’ addressed to postpartum depression, consisting of a self-guided intervention that can be delivered independently or with the support of a therapist. Each day it is proposed to the patient a self-guided program based on CBT, IPT, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and behavioural activation therapy (BAT) through videos, audios and text formats.…”

“…There are more studies specifically addressed to MDD, even though mostly recruited subjects with depressive symptomatology, not necessarily with a MDD diagnosis (Table 3 ); being more represented by adult subjects with only one study addressed to young adults [ 22 ], only one study recruiting adolescents [ 19 ] and one study included older adults [ 17 ]. Two studies were carried out on women at-risk for postpartum depression (PPD) [ 18 , 23 ]. Moreover, most studies on MDD were conducted in the USA and in a single-site and recruited a small sample size (with less than 100 recruited subjects) (Table 3 ).…”

“…Moreover, most studies on MDD were conducted in the USA and in a single-site and recruited a small sample size (with less than 100 recruited subjects) (Table 3 ). Most DTx on MDD or depressive symptomatology have been developed based on CBT interventions, with one study based on EFMT [ 14 ] and the two only studies on PPD which integrate both CBT and IPT [ 18 , 23 ]. While only four are the published studies evaluating DTx on BD samples, with mostly recruiting a relatively small sample size (≤20 recruited subjects) and based on feasibility and/or acceptability outcomes as well as psychoeducational-based interventions (Table 3 ).…”

Digital therapeutics (DTx) offer evidence-based digitally-delivered high quality standards applications and/or softwares in the prevention, management and treatment of several medical conditions, including mood disorders. Nowadays, there are only three DTx officially approved by the Food and Drug Administration for mental conditions and there are still very few DTx developed in the context of mood disorders. The current comprehensive overview aims at providing a summary of currently published studies on DTx clinical applications in major depressive disorder (MDD), depressive symptomatology and bipolar disorder (BD), by using PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases. Fifteen studies have been selected (10 on DTx in depressive symptomatology and/or MDD; 4 on BD; 1 on MDD and BD). Literature on DTx in mood disorders is still lacking, being mostly constituted by feasibility and acceptability rather than efficacy/effectiveness outcomes, particularly in BD. More studies focused on MDD compared to BD. Most DTx on MDD have been developed based on cognitive behaviour therapy interventions while on BD are based on psychoeducation. All studies assessing symptom severity improvement pre- vs. postinterventions demonstrated a significant postintervention improvement. Therefore, despite the preliminary encouraging results of studies here retrieved, their methodology is still too heterogeneous to allow comparisons and the generalizability of their findings. Further studies are warranted, in more larger samples involving multiple sites, including measures of both specific symptom effects as well as acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness in the real-world settings.

Pregnant women and new mothers within one year after delivery are at a high risk of depression, yet many do not get the help they need due to wide reasons heralding stigma, access, cost, time, and shortage of human resources. Hence, compelling the exploration of alternate and potentially cost-effective means of delivering care, including the leverage of digital tools. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of digital health interventions in reducing depressive symptoms among perinatal women. Literatures were sought from seven academic databases alongside the references of previous reviews. Included studies were all quantitative study types involving the use of digital health interventions for perinatal women not more than one-year post-delivery. Standardised mean difference and standard error were used to perform random-effect model meta-analysis. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed to determine certainty and modifiers of the findings, respectively. Forty-eight studies were included in this review with twenty-eight studies used for meta-analyses. Numerous digital channels were identified; however, none specified the use of a digital health theory in its development. The digital health interventions showed a small positive significant effect over the controls (standardised mean difference = 0.29, p = 0.003, I2 = 34%), and this was significantly influenced by intervention delivery and facilitation modes, time of initiation of the intervention, and period covered by the intervention. While digital health interventions may hold some potential for perinatal depression, scaling the interventions may be challenging sequel to overlooked influences from the interactions within the human-computer-society complex.
