Abstract
The rapid growth of mHealth apps has led to a new health care setting, offering benefits such as symptom monitoring, diagnosis, patient support outside the therapeutic setting, and more engagement in relation to the treatment. Following this technological trend, health professionals began to include this tool as an additional tool in the psychotherapeutic treatment of patients. This study explores the use of mHealth apps from the perspective of psychologists, analysing aspects related to the effectiveness of mHealth apps in relation to data protection, ethical issues, confidentiality, and the barriers involved in using such technologies.
