Problem
Many individuals with mental health conditions in Germany face long waiting times of up to six months for in‑person psychotherapy, leading to symptom worsening and reduced treatment uptake.
Solution
Selfapy offers CE‑class 1 certified, evidence‑based digital therapy programs that can be prescribed by physicians or psychotherapists and accessed instantly via a smartphone, tablet, or web app. The programs target depression, generalized anxiety disorder, binge‑eating, bulimia, and chronic pain, delivering structured cognitive‑behavioral interventions, daily exercises, and progress monitoring. Clinical trials have demonstrated significant symptom reductions (e.g., 39.5 % depression improvement, large effect sizes for anxiety and eating disorders). All data are stored in ISO 27001‑certified, GDPR‑compliant systems, and a team of clinical psychologists oversees user progress. Because the service is reimbursed fully by statutory health insurers, patients incur no out‑of‑pocket cost.
Target Audience
Selfapy is intended for adults in Germany diagnosed with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or chronic pain who seek immediate, reimbursed digital psychotherapy, as well as physicians and psychotherapists who prescribe the programs.
