Sažetak
The increased use of mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, and connected wearable devices has fostered the development of mobile medical applications (apps) in the last few years. Mobile medical apps are developed to extend or replace some existing applications that run on a desktop or laptop computer, or on a remote server. If mobile apps are used, for example, to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent human diseases, patient safety is at potential risk if the apps do not function as intended. Therefore, such apps need to be cleared, approved, or otherwise regulated in order to protect public health. There are many papers that have been published about the quality attributes of mobile apps. Less is known about quality factors of mobile medical apps. In this paper we provide key definitions and examples of regulated mobile medical apps, and identify factors that influence the quality of mobile medical apps.
