Abstract:

In Germany, mHealth applications can be prescribed to patients since December 19, 2019 [1]. A meaningful taxonomy for the selection of a suitable mHealth application is not available in current mobile application stores. Additionally, the stores lack reliable content and quality controls. An adequate approach to determine the quality of mHealth applications has been missing since then. Presently, these facts prevent physicians from determining which mHealth applications are suitable for prescribing them to their patients. Following that, the question arises how existing technical approaches and regulations can be conjoined to provide a quality assured and low-distortion approach for the evaluation of mHealth applications. In this paper, we present mHealthAtlas, a multidisciplinary expert-based approach for the evaluation of the quality of mHealth applications, based on [2]. First, mHealthAtlas addresses the problems of undifferentiated mHealth taxonomies and proposes a solution for the differentiated classification of mHealth applications. Second, a score is proposed for a comparable quality assessment of mHealth applications. Third, the mHealthAtlas system and its mode of operation is presented.
