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 digitally prescribe 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
