Health apps: The litmus test

13/7/2018

Our Mobile Health is on a mission to build confidence in digital health by assessing and curating high-quality health apps.

CEO Julie Bretland explains to George Underwood from Pharma Times what the company looks for in a good app and how digital health can change the industry.

Tell us about Our Mobile Health – how did the company start, what are its goals?
Our Mobile Health helps identify, assess, review, curate and distribute good high quality health apps, so that health and care organisations can recommend, deploy and ultimately prescribe digital health services with confidence.

What that means is that we find really good apps and, depending on the project, we make them available in a library. For example, we assess apps for the NHS apps library and the NHS Tariff, we partner with EMIS to provide the EMIS App library powered by Our Mobile Health for GPs, we work with Parkinson’s UK to identify and make available apps relevant to people with Parkinson's and we assess apps for London’s Good Thinking Project.


What is the importance of assessing healthcare apps?
We found that, quite rightly, many healthcare professionals didn’t trust apps, even though they can offer such tremendous benefits for patients in terms of understanding their own health, creating healthier behaviours and managing particular conditions. The reason for the lack of confidence by professionals is partially because they don’t really know how to judge them and you can’t judge an app just by downloading it and having a look at it. That doesn’t tell you about where the data is hosted or the encryption being used or whether the data is being used, shared or sold or whether they comply with patient safety standards or are registered with the relevant regulating body.

By assessing apps, healthcare organisations can adopt apps at scale. It means that companies work with a portfolio of apps, thus minimising their risk and increasing the choice of apps for patients, so that they can find one which suits them and that they are more likely to engage with over a longer period of time.

Our Mobile Health to partner with EMIS Health

EMIS App Library, powered by Our Mobile Health to bring quality health apps to primary care practices across England

We are excited to announce our partnership with EMIS Health, the UK’s largest clinical systems provider. The EMIS App Library, powered by Our Mobile Health, enables GPs using the EMIS Web platform to recommend an app in a similar way to prescribing a medicine or other treatment. This is the first time that a library of quality-assured apps will be integrated into practices on this scale, with more than 4000 GPs having access when the full system is switched on later this year.
 
GPs using the EMIS platform will be able to access a library of health apps that have been rigorously assessed using Our Mobile Health’s assessment process, so they can recommend them and patients can use them with confidence. The EMIS App Library makes health apps more accessible for GPs and patients, making them a viable and convenient alternative that can be used alongside other interventions.


  • For GPs: it helps them to empower patients to help themselves, optimises their time and other resources and gives them access to effective, quality tools to prevent disease
  • For patients: apps are a convenient way for people to manage their own health; gives them another option alongside medicine and other therapies
  • For CCGs: helps them to overcome barriers to digital health solutions and fulfil the requirements set down by NHS England
