• Advantages include accessibility, mobility, low cost, 24/7 support, and reduced stigma.
• They are particularly suitable for psychoeducation (repeated reading).
• Real-time assessment of symptoms and mood provides more accurate, context-specific data with less distortion. This promotes self-monitoring and a better understanding of symptoms.

All patients can benefit from using the Robin Z app, regardless of their diagnosis. The app is designed to be used as a supplementary tool to support young people in their day-to-day lives, in addition to therapeutic sessions. It is designed to allow for individualised use.

No, this App is not a replacement for appropriate medical treatment and management. This App is not intended to replace medical treatment, nor should it be viewed as such. This App is not a medical product in the sense of the Swiss Medical Devices Ordinance (MepV).

Robin Z is developed as an addition to the therapy and it is not treatment itself. We recommend using the app in combination with psychological treatment.
