Abstract

Digitalization in the healthcare sector is characterized by various terms, e.g., "digital health", mobile (m) health, electronic (e) health, telemedicine, which are not subject to a uniform definition. In general, it is about various care and treatment modes in the medical field that take place without direct eye contact with the patients. In recent years, digitalization has also made progress in obesity prevention and treatment, although the effectiveness of digital tools on weight loss is limited. The Digital Care Act allows digital health applications to be prescribed. As a result, for the first time in Germany, framework conditions for digital therapy concepts, the costs of which are covered by health insurance companies, have been created.
