Ethical Issues with Direct-to-Consumer Digital Therapy Apps
By Dr Kris Rao
About this webinar
Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) digital psychotherapy services have emerged as a way to improve access to mental health care. However, these services lack adequate regulation, raising concerns about safety, privacy, and accountability. This webinar explores the ethical challenges posed by DTC apps that connect consumers to therapists worldwide or rely on artificial intelligence. The webinar will also discuss therapists’ responsibility when using DTC apps.
