Digital health applications (DiGAs) are increasingly using diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. However, for the majority of currently available DiGAs, there is limited evidence on the medical or organizational benefit. Based on a suggested evaluation process for DiGAs outlined by AIHTA (Project report 2020: “Framework for reimbursement decisions of digital health technologies”), the proposed process for an evidence-based evaluation has been further refined and applied in a sample evaluation of a DiGA from the group of the so-called “symptom-checkers”.
