Objectives
• Identify authoritative evidence‐based mobile apps and resources for practitioners
• Utilize mobile optimized websites to locate evidence‐based resources
• Select and appraise mobile apps utilizing evaluation tools
Please Note
The presenter does not recommend one mobile app over another.
Apps mentioned in this presentation are intended as examples.
New apps are developed and released often and may reflect new advancements in medical technology and delivery of information.

Issues with App Store Medical Apps
• Security
• Frequency of updates
• No “peer‐review”
• What makes the medical app store good also makes it bad (low barrier of entry)
Medical App Problems
• Variation in quality, testing, and evaluation
• Design and function over EBM
• Uncertain long‐term care effectiveness
• Lack of regulatory supervision
• Privacy and security concerns

TIP: Search with Purpose
• Can’t enter “medical students” or “residents” when in an app store.
• Focus on key subsections (examples include):• Histology• Anatomy
• Pathology
• The more defined, the better.

Evaluating Mobile Apps
22
Considerations: Content
• mHealth app authors may have a conflict of interest that influences content.
• Most mHealth apps are created without medical expert involvement.
• Inaccurate medical content within mHealth apps may place patients at risk of harm.
• Monetization practices (inc. advertising) should be considered.

Considerations: Medical Content
• Medical expertise poorly represented – 33%
• Less than half adhere to evidence based resources
• Alternative content prevalent in over 25% apps
• Asthma apps – over 50% from free online resources
• Asthma apps – 25% ad supported

Considerations: Privacy
• Digital information legislation – not applicable to all
• Poor secured information with third party consumers
• Non‐identifiable information can be identified through data triangulation techniques
• 26% free/40% paid apps have no privacy policy

23
Considerations: Accessibility
• Barriers: Language, health literacy, computer literacy
• Limited Access – Might not be available on multiple OS
• Cost ‐ less likely to be a barrier to access

Before Downloading: Updates
When was the app last updated?
• 18 month rule.
• “orphaned” app• If no software update, no content update.
24
Before Downloading: Developer
Who is the developer?
• Medical Society
• Physician or healthcare provider• What other apps do they develop? (From games to medical apps?)
Before Downloading: Content
Clear and detailed descriptions and images.
Before Downloading: Troubleshooting
Links to website for troubleshooting support or more information.
• Can’t be just Facebook or Twitter, need to have a landing page.
• Statin Intolerance App does not have this.
25
Before Downloading: References
• Links to references when giving clinical recommendations or presenting content.
• (Frequent Issue with most medical apps)
Before Downloading: Contact Info
Ask the Developers!
• Often don’t know they should include obvious information, such as their backgrounds or reference information.
Before Downloading:Ratings and Reviews?
iTunes and Google Play ratings
• Almost always useless
• Not enough of an “n” to have appropriately crowdsourced information.
• Reviews can be bought.
