How We Monitor Program Effectiveness

What is the DeePsy app used for?
Client-based monitoring of therapy is entirely voluntary. DeePsy is a web application that enables the tracking of the progress and outcomes of therapy. Therapists use it to evaluate the effectiveness of the care provided.

Who operates the application?
The application is managed by two universities – the Brno University of Technology and Masaryk University. These institutions then prepare a summary report for VZP on the program’s effectiveness.

Is the use of the application anonymous?
Yes, the application is completely anonymous. No personal or individual data is shared.

Where can I find more information?
Details regarding personal data protection in the DeePsy application can be found here.
(For VZP clients, only the first part of the document is relevant, as no recordings are processed for them.)
