Clinical governance of medical mobile apps is challenging, and there currently no standard method for assessing the quality such apps. In 2018, National Institute Health Care Excellence (NICE) developed a framework required level evidence digital health technologies (DHTs), as determined by their clinical function. The can potentially be used to assess apps, which are subset DHTs. To reliably in this context, must allow unambiguous classification an app's function.The objective study was...
