Description
Yuming Liu and co-authors review digital mental health tools made for Chinese users, in a 2025 paper. Such tools grew fast during and after the COVID pandemic, but no review had centred on tools in Chinese. The team searched four English and four Chinese databases, covering the Greater China region.
They found twenty-eight tools reported across thirty-two trials. Most were mobile-based and were tested in richer regions. Most tools did ease mental health symptoms in trials. Concerns remain, though: public access to the tools is limited, study quality varies a lot, and early help for whole populations is rare. The authors call for future work in Chinese communities that widens access, lifts study quality, and builds early support into the mental health system.
