Abstract

The chapter delves into the growing use of mental health apps and the challenges users face in finding reliable information in app store descriptions. It highlights the lack of transparency in app descriptions, including the absence of scientific evidence, hidden costs, and privacy concerns. The author introduces a transparency framework to address these issues and offers design guidelines to improve the communication of health information to users. The research aims to bridge the gap between users and the critical information they need to make informed decisions about mental health apps.
