Abstract

“Good” apps, or those associated with improved user outcomes, are intentionally designed to be engaging, usable, and evidence-based while ensuring privacy and security. Determining app quality requires thorough and holistic evaluation of app features, elements, and approaches. Future “good” apps will incorporate artificial intelligence and interoperability with electronic health records, augmented reality, and advanced diagnostics.
