HelloBetter offers the widest range of evidence-based online mental health courses worldwide, with 11 digital courses covering 8 problem areas (stress, depression, insomnia, depression in the case of chronic illness, chronic pain, alcohol consumption, excessive worry, and panic and anxiety).In October 2021, the digital therapeutic 'HelloBetter Stress and Burnout' has been permanently approved by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) as a Digital Health Application (DiGA) and thus is available by prescription free of charge for more than 50 million adults.
