Abstract

Behavioral digital therapeutics represents a diverse range of health technology tools that can offer beneficial options for patients with gastrointestinal disorders, particularly with the shortage of mental health providers. Challenges to the uptake of behavioral digital interventions exist and can be addressed with mobile device applications, improved interoperability of technology platforms, and flexible integration into clinical practice.
