Cutting Through the Noise:
Raising the Bar for Digital Mental & Behavioral Health Technology
A new way to discover and adopt digital mental and behavioral health technology with confidence—curated, evaluated, and grounded in psychological science.
Finding a mental health tool you can trust shouldn’t be this hard.
Across the ecosystem, people are being asked to make important decisions about digital mental and behavioral health tools — without clear visibility into the data and evidence behind them. Clinicians want to recommend tools they can stand behind. Health systems want to adopt tools that meet a credible standard. Individuals, families, and communities want to trust the technology they’re using and understand the evidence that supports it.
The APA Labs
Digital Badge Program changes that.
The APA Labs Digital Badge Program is an independent evaluation grounded in psychological science, designed to evaluate digital mental and behavioral health technologies across the following evidence-based domains:
- Scientific Principles
- Regulation & Safety
- Data Protection & Privacy
- Technical Security & Stability
- Usability & Accessibility
