Article Synopsis
- The rapid growth of medical apps has changed how health care is delivered, allowing easy access to personalized health data for patients and providers, but effectiveness and safety concerns have emerged, challenging the reliance on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for evaluation and regulation.
- This study explores alternative evaluation methods beyond RCTs for medical apps by analyzing insights from a focus group of public health experts and assessing current regulations in Italy, Germany, Canada, and Australia.
- Findings highlight the limitations of RCTs in evaluating digital health interventions and suggest that there are potentially more effective approaches for ensuring the quality and safety of medical apps.
