Résumé

Objectif Proposer quelques repères pour faciliter le processus de création d’applications pour téléphones intelligents (apps) en santé mentale.

Méthode Présentation brève de l’intérêt potentiel des apps et proposition argumentée d’étapes clés pour la création des apps. L’article se base sur une revue narrative, un retour d’expérience et des discussions de groupes d’experts.

Résultats Les apps ont des caractéristiques ubiquitaires particulièrement intéressantes pour le domaine de la santé mentale. Potentiellement connectées à de multiples technologies, mobiles et disponibles en tout temps, elles permettent une grande flexibilité de conception. Afin d’augmenter les chances d’efficacité et de bonne dissémination d’une app donnée, certains principes pourraient guider de manière utile le travail de conception des apps : 9 repères sont proposés, en particulier une bonne intégration des utilisateurs finaux autour d’objectifs cibles bien définis durant tout le processus de création de tels outils.

Conclusion Les repères proposés pourraient faciliter le processus de création d’apps pour la santé mentale.

Abstract

Objective To propose some key steps to facilitate the process of creating mental health smartphone applications (apps).

Methods Brief presentation of the potential interest of apps and proposition of key steps for the creation of apps. The paper is based on a narrative review, a testimonial experience and some expert works.

Results Apps have ubiquitous features that are particularly appealing for the mental health field. Potentially connected to multiple technologies, mobile and available at all times, they allow great design flexibility. In order to increase the chances of effectiveness and good dissemination of a given app, 9 principles could usefully guide the design of apps, in particular a good integration of end users around well-defined target objectives during the entire process of creating such tools.

Conclusion The proposed key steps could facilitate the process of creating mental health apps.
