Digital health applications (DiGA) are digital medical devices of low risk classes that can support insured persons, for example, in the treatment of illnesses or the compensation of impairments.

Digital nursing applications (DiPA) are digital applications used by care recipients or in the interaction of care recipients with relatives, other voluntary caregivers or authorised outpatient nursing care facilities. DiPA intend to reduce impairments, strengthen the abilities of the care recipient or to prevent an increasing need for care.
