The number of people with cardiovascular disease in China is growing rapidly. Self-health management can be supported through mobile health applications. Ensuring the quality of relevant information provided by mobile health and meeting user needs are the top priorities in application development today. Purpose: This study investigated mobile phone applications for cardiovascular diseases in China. A systematic assessment was conducted in order to evaluate the quality and type of health information provided and the self-management decision-making through mobile health. Research methods: This study searched from October to December 2018 for cardiovascular disease-related smartphone applications through the China regional web platforms and downloaded 134 apps, exclude duplicates, unable to opened, after multi-stage screening of program content relevance, a total of 58 apps for cardiovascular disease-related smartphone app analysis, evaluation analysis (1) App type| (2)Siliberg score| and (3) the scope of information covered by the World Health Organization and the European Cardiovascular Disease Guidelines. Findings: We found 36 (62.1%) applications provide physiological monitoring numerical recording. 20 (34.5%) applications have functions of feedback tracking and alerts, followed by online consulting services and interactive feedback with users (28/58, 48.3%). This is followed by lifestyle management, which includes: diet-related (4/58,6.9%), exercise-related (9/58, 15.5 %), weight control (13/58, 22.4%) and smoking cessation management related (2/58,3.4%). General health information (22/58, 37.9%), online shopping (drug) function (16/58, 27.6%) and drug management function (7/58, 12.1%). The Siliberg score message content quality assessment: the average Silberg score was 1.72 ±1.67 (full score 9), and the highest score of all investigated applications was 7. 82.8% of Apps scored on the author message item, but none of them disclosed the author-related certificates. Only 8.6% of apps have information on the origin of the data content and a statement of ownership and sponsors hip, and 25.9% of apps have updated and updated within a month. The content covers 9 items: only 1 of 58 Apps cover 6 (1.7 %)| Sixteen covering 2-3 (36.2 %)| 41.4 per cent of Apps have only one and 8.6 %t do not have any of the item evaluated. Conclusion: This study showed that the current cardiovascular disease-related applications in China don’t have sufficient information of self-management. Application development should carefully convey an empirical medical messag e and combine international guidelines to effectively assist autonomous health management through mobile medi cal applications. However, with the rapid development of applications, how to ensure the quality of relevant information provided and how to meet user needs are the top priorities in application development . Audit for application requires more rigorous evaluation and monitoring to avoid providing information about pot ential harm to users. In Chinese culture, family participation in medical decision-making is important, but the de sign and development of study applications are not fully integrated into the interactive need within family members. Future app should enhance interactive capability, integrate with local health care institutions, strengthen patients, families and medical institutions to maximize the benefits of mobile medical technology. |
