The European Commission has formed a working group that will create guidelines to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of health app data. The group’s first meeting will be in March.
This initiative, the European Commission explained, is a follow up to a consultation announced in April 2014 that asked digital health companies and others for help in identifying ways to encourage and regulate mobile health. Results from the consultation, published last year, found that two of the barriers to digital health app adoption were the privacy issues and security of health data. The report explained that there is a large number of health and wellness apps, but consumers are having trouble identifying which ones are reliable and produce good quality data.
