Towards an "Integrated Healthcare Management (Tool)" & Telecouncil for Distanced Care

The Covid-19 crisis is not only a crisis for society as a whole, but also a highly personal one for many people. Specific records from various social insurance providers have indirectly indicated an increase in mental illness for years, both independently and in connection with the crisis. The first lockdown in 2020 caused a disruption in care services, and the continuity of care for psychiatric patients has been a challenge for healthcare providers and the healthcare system per se for some time. Mobile apps and telemedicine largely lack evidence-based foundations in AT, and fears and reservations can be observed among psychiatric patients and professionals alike.
