摘要

由于心理健康意识的提高和应用程序的可访问性,心理健康应用(MHAs)在印度越来越受欢迎。尽管mha有很多好处,比如情绪追踪、睡眠工具和虚拟疗法,但它们缺乏监管。印度的框架,包括中央药物标准控制组织(CDSCO)和2017年医疗器械规则,不包括独立的健康应用程序,引发了对数据隐私和准确性的担忧。建立一个具有mha指导方针的集中监管机构对于用户安全和有效性至关重要。本文研究了当前的监管格局,比较了国际方法,并提出了一个分层的监管框架,以促进负责任的创新,同时保护数字心理健康服务的用户利益。

Mental health apps in India: regulatory landscape and future directions.

Mental health apps (MHAs) are increasingly popular in India due to rising mental health awareness and app accessibility. Despite their benefits, like mood tracking, sleep tools and virtual therapy, MHAs lack regulatory oversight. India's framework, including the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) and Medical Device Rules 2017, does not cover standalone health apps, raising concerns about data privacy and accuracy. Establishing a centralised regulatory body with guidelines for MHAs is essential for user safety and efficacy. This paper examines the current regulatory landscape, compares international approaches and proposes a tiered regulatory framework to foster responsible innovation while safeguarding user interests in digital mental health services.
