A Systematic Assessment of Smartphone Tools for Suicide Prevention
Overview
This systematic review evaluates the alignment of 123 publicly available smartphone applications with evidence-based suicide prevention strategies and World Health Organization guidelines. The study identifies that while most apps include features consistent with best practices, such as safety planning or crisis support, they often focus on a single strategy and may contain potentially harmful content. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the current state of digital mental health tools and their adherence to established medical evidence.
