Evaluating the Quality and Safety of Patient-Facing Mobile Apps May 7, 2015 David W. Bates, MD, MSc Chief Innovation Officer and Chief, Division of General Internal Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital Division of Renal Medicine

The Trajectory of Mobile Apps As of 2013, 43,000+ apps exist relating to health or wellness IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics. Patient Apps for Improved Healthcare: From Novelty to Mainstream.; 2013.

Patient-Facing Mobile Apps Little evidence exists that apps are being designed or deployed specifically for vulnerable populations “Inverse care law” suggests apps may increase disparities in care The goal of our work is to provide critical insight into the landscape of mobile applications in the care of vulnerable populations. Jameson JE. Inverse care law. Lancet. 1971;1:

Approach Lit Review Interviews with Experts App Review Usability Study (UCSF)

Literature Review Studies were identified by searching PubMed/Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and the NTIS Bibliographic Database from R2 Total YesNo R1Yes No Total Kappa = ,301 titles and abstracts Selected by either of 2 reviewers 841 possibly original research 123 possibly systematic review 6,337 irrelevant Full text review Abstraction of content

App Review We identified mobile applications targeting high-need high-cost patients in three ways: 1.Systematic review of the iOS (“iTunes”) and Android (“Google Play”) app stores 2.Systematic review of medical professional society websites 3.Asking experts to suggest apps

Systematic Search iOSAndroid Total Apps Considered Not a healthcare app Not patient-facing Not in English1849 Highly similar1321 Limited engagement2489 Peripherally related6656 Poor ratings or reviews338 Last updated before Other2964 Possibly Useful iOS onlyBothAndroid only

Professional Society Search 194 professional societies identified 53 societies mentioned, recommended, or developed an app 232 patient-facing apps identified

Preliminary Findings

Conclusions Apps have the potential to improve healthcare Apps also have the potential to cause harm as they become increasingly integrated with the healthcare system What if low blood glucose values not recorded? What if no one alerted about suicidal ideation? Apps may not be being directed at patients who can benefit the most from them Level of evidence to date appears to be limited
