How it works: Compare and evaluate health apps

[ad_1]

If you want to compare and evaluate health apps, you can now use the Fraunhofer Institute's online catalog to orient yourself with more than 300 criteria.

What requirements should health apps meet? Which aspects are important? APPKRI describes and evaluates health apps based on criteria and thus supports users in comparing, evaluating and recommending. The criteria catalog was developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems FOKUS thanks to financial support from the Federal Ministry of Health.

Comprehensive criteria catalog with search function, questionnaire creation etc.

APPKRI's approximately 300 criteria relate to a wide range of topics, from user-friendliness to information security, business model, data portability and interoperability to data protection, patient safety and medical benefits. Accessibility and child and adolescent criteria are also planned. In addition, users can check whether an app meets the requirements of the relevant law or regulation. You can simply click through the catalog, search for keywords, topics or verifiability (some criteria can only be checked by IT experts), compile your individual criteria catalog and export it in various file formats or even create and dynamically adapt an online questionnaire.

Target group: specialist societies, evaluation portals, digital health providers

The main target group of the criteria catalog are organizations or companies that want to rate apps. But digital health providers who develop apps can also use the catalog as a kind of checklist. The classic scenario would be specialist societies or online portals that plan to specifically certify diabetes diaries, pain diaries or other health apps. These organizations or portals can compile their individual criteria lists.
