  • Title: Promise and challenges with the use of mobile applications to support and improve patient care: an industry perspective.
    Author: Bucklen KW, Abbott BM.
    Journal: Clin Pharmacol Ther; 2014 May; 95(5):469-71. PubMed ID: 24747232.
    Abstract:
    Mobile applications represent an immense opportunity to support and improve patient health care, as the scope and functionality of medical apps are enabling physicians and patients to manage care in new, fast, and personalized ways. Several challenges exist in medical-app development, including careful attention to quality systems, medical-device regulation, and app life span. Despite these complexities, we find that development of mobile medical apps is a worthwhile undertaking given their potential to improve outcomes for patients.
