Abstract
Blended care (BC), combining face-to-face therapy with digital components, is gaining momentum in the field of mental health, yet lacks conceptual clarity. This perspective paper outlines a dimensional conceptualization of BC and introduces the B-FIT (Blend-Focus-Integration-Timing) framework. We highlight the need to refine the theoretical foundations of BC, strengthen the evidence base for its effectiveness, and integrate stakeholder perspectives to inform future research and support the successful implementation of BC.
