The World Health Organization (WHO) describes mobile health (mHealth) as the \"spread of mobile technologies as well as advancements in their innovative application to address health priorities.\u201d<\/p>

The development of applications for the management of chronic diseases presents many challenges, not only for the creators but also for physicians, legislators and health authorities and, of course, for patients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Canadian researchers from Women's College Hospital and other institutes and universities developed a scoping review that aimed to \"aims to synthesize the emerging field of mobile health app quality assessment by reviewing criteria used by previous studies to assess the quality of mobile apps for chronic disease management.\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The initial search resulted in more than 8,400 citations, and ultimately only 65 articles were included. Although the search framework starts from 2001, the first relevant study was produced in 2010. As for the applications used in these studies \"Most explored apps related to diabetes mellitus management (24.6%, n\u2009=\u200916), weight management (15.4%, n\u2009=\u200910), mental health (10.8%, n\u2009=\u20097), and smoking cessation (10.8%, n\u2009=\u20097).\"<\/p>

And the countries where the most studies were conducted were the United States (41.5%, n = 27), United Kingdom (13.9%, n = 9) and Australia (10.8%, n = 7). Most studies were conducted in English (87.7%, n = 57).<\/p>

La \u00faltima d\u00e9cada ha potenciado el avance de las aplicaciones m\u00f3viles. Las herramientas digitales relacionadas a la salud tambi\u00e9n han sufrido un crecimiento exponencial. La Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) describe la salud m\u00f3vil (mHealth) como la \u201cdifusi\u00f3n de tecnolog\u00edas m\u00f3viles, as\u00ed como los avances en su aplicaci\u00f3n innovadora para abordar las prioridades de salud\u201d. El desarrollo de aplicaciones para el manejo de enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas representa muchos desaf\u00edos, no solo para los creadores sino para os m\u00e9dicos, legisladores y autoridades sanitaria y por supuesto para los pacientes. Investigadoras e investigadores canadienses pertenecientes al Women’s College Hospital y otros institutos y universidades, desarrollaron una revisi\u00f3n de alcance cuyo objetivo fue: ” tiene como objetivo sintetizar el campo emergente de la evaluaci\u00f3n de la calidad de las aplicaciones de salud m\u00f3viles mediante la revisi\u00f3n de los criterios utilizados por estudios anteriores para evaluar la calidad de las aplicaciones m\u00f3viles para el manejo de enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas”. La b\u00fasqueda inicial dio como resultado m\u00e1s de 8 mil 400 citas, y finalmente se incluyeron \u00fanicamente 65 art\u00edculos. A pesar que el marco de b\u00fasqueda comienza desde 2001, el primer estudio relevante fue producido en 2010. En cuanto a las aplicaciones utilizadas en estos estudios \u201cla mayor\u00eda de las aplicaciones exploradas relacionadas con el control de la diabetes mellitus (24,6%, n = 16), el control de peso (15,4 %) %, n = 10), salud mental (10,8%, n = 7) y abandono del h\u00e1bito de fumar (10,8%, n = 7)\u201d. Y los pa\u00edses donde se realizaron m\u00e1s estudios fueron Estados Unidos (41,5%, n = 27), Reino Unido (13,9%, n\u2009= 9) y Australia (10,8%, n = 7). La mayor\u00eda de los estudios se realizaron en ingl\u00e9s (87,7%, n = 57).
