Objectives: This study investigated the awareness and acceptance of digital therapeutics (DTx) among psychiatrists in South Korea, providing empirical insights to support future clinical implementation and dissemination. Methods: An online survey targeting 50 psychiatrists was conducted from October 2024 to February 2025. Descriptive statistics were performed on completed responses (n=36), focusing on DTx-related awareness and acceptance. Results: Most participants were aware of DTx, but few had experience prescribing it. They had positive expectations of increased treatment options and efficacy, with most information obtained through exhibitions and conferences. The key factors influencing the intention to use included reimbursement availability and the feasibility of integration with the electronic medical records. Many were motivated by interest in novel treatments and were willing to use DTx if peer adoption increased. The primary concern was uncertainty around reimbursement, and DTx was generally preferred as an adjunctive treatment. The appropriate cost for six sessions was considered to be 150000 KRW (approximately 110 USD) or less. The participants emphasized evidence-based effectiveness, convenience, and efficiency when promoting patient engagement. The need for incorporating DTx education into psychiatric residency training was also recognized. Conclusion This study is the first of its kind in South Korea to explore psychiatrists’ perspectives on DTx, offering foundational insights to help develop policy and education strategies for clinical and institutional implementation.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the nutritional status of residents, to examine the perception and needs of community nutrition care service, and to compare and analyze the results of females and males living in Daejeon, Korea. Methods: The subjects were 592 adults and elderly (278 men and 314 women) residents of Daejeon. The dietary quality was assessed using the nutrition quotient (NQ), and data of the perception and needs for community nutrition care service were obtained by a questionnaire survey. Descriptive analysis was applied to analyze the demographic characteristics, perception and needs of the respondents, and independent t-test and chi-square test were performed to analyze and compare the differences between female and male participants. Results: A nutritional status that required monitoring was established in 78.9% of the respondents in this study. The balance factor (29.1 points) was much lower than the national average. In the diversity factor, the NQ score of the female group was 47.6 points, which was 8 points lower than that of males; the NQ grade was 43.9%, showing a significant difference between females and males (P < 0.001). The respondents answered that those who needed community nutrition care services were residents experiencing health care difficulties.Additionally, dietitians (35.6%) were pointed out as the most suitable service providers. The most important factor of community nutrition care service operation was securing the budget (47.0%). Conclusions The results of the present study show that Daejeon residents need overall nutrition support, and a demand for community nutrition care services exists. Our findings provide basic data and can serve as a foundation for the development and establishment of a community nutrition care service model.
