Core Tip
Core Tip: Physical exercise is an underutilized tool for the management of mental disorders. New technologies have made a breakthrough in health care, and one of its possible applications (apps) could be that of customizing exercise programs for special populations, such as patients with mental disorders. Apps that aim to improve and increase physical activity in patients diagnosed with the disease have shown good results in terms of efficacy and acceptability, so they should be known by clinicians in order to offer them to patients who meet a good profile.
