abstract = {Standards and validation practices regarding mobile health apps need to be
established to ensure their proper use and integration into medical practice.
This preliminary study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the entire
apps that have been awarded by a Quality Seal to identify significant
differences according to the variables analyzed (user, developer, category and
consumer ratings) and identified quality attributes.
Although the applications analysed are characterised by their heterogeneity,
this research found that seven out of 50 remarkable attributes had significant
influence on the application evaluation process, according to the
recommendations on design, use and assessment of health from AppSaludable.
Only some attributes (adaptation of contents, pilot testing, and accessibility
and usability) were correlated with some apps’ features.
This study can contribute to improving both the processes of validation and
quality of medical care of the citizens and in general, the medical practice},
