    A network meta-analysis included 29 randomized controlled trials with 17,800 participants to evaluate digital health interventions.

    Video observed therapy demonstrated significantly higher treatment success and adherence rates compared to other digital health interventions.

    The analysis found no significant differences in treatment success among most digital health interventions except for video observed therapy.
