近年来，使用移动的应用程序促进健康和福祉呈指数级增长。然而，目前除了“星星”评级之外，还没有应用程序质量评估工具。本研究的目的是开发一种可靠的多维度测量方法，用于对移动的健康应用程序的质量进行测试、分类和评级。进行了文献检索，以识别2000年1月至2013年1月期间发表的包含明确Web或应用程序质量评级标准的文章。应用程序质量评估的现有标准由专家小组进行分类，以开发新的移动的应用程序评级量表（MARS）子量表、项目、描述符和锚点。有60个健康的应用程序是使用iTunes搜索MARS评级随机选择的。有10个被用来试点的评级程序，其余50个提供的数据之间的可靠性。从25篇已发表的论文、会议记录和互联网资源中提取了372个用于评估Web或应用程序质量的明确标准。确定了五大类标准，包括四个客观质量量表：参与度，功能性，美学和信息质量;和一个主观质量量表;这些标准被细化为23项MARS。MARS表现出良好的内部一致性（α = .90）和评分者间可靠性组内相关系数（ICC = .79）。MARS是一种简单、客观、可靠的工具，用于对移动的健康应用程序进行分类和评估。它还可以用于为新的高质量健康应用程序的设计和开发提供检查表。
The use of mobile apps for health and well being promotion has grown exponentially in recent years. Yet, there is currently no app-quality assessment tool beyond “star”-ratings. The objective of this study was to develop a reliable, multidimensional measure for trialling, classifying, and rating the quality of mobile health apps. A literature search was conducted to identify articles containing explicit Web or app quality rating criteria published between January 2000 and January 2013. Existing criteria for the assessment of app quality were categorized by an expert panel to develop the new Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) subscales, items, descriptors, and anchors. There were sixty well being apps that were randomly selected using an iTunes search for MARS rating. There were ten that were used to pilot the rating procedure, and the remaining 50 provided data on interrater reliability. There were 372 explicit criteria for assessing Web or app quality that were extracted from 25 published papers, conference proceedings, and Internet resources. There were five broad categories of criteria that were identified including four objective quality scales: engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information quality; and one subjective quality scale; which were refined into the 23-item MARS. The MARS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (alpha = .90) and interrater reliability intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC = .79). The MARS is a simple, objective, and reliable tool for classifying and assessing the quality of mobile health apps. It can also be used to provide a checklist for the design and development of new high quality health apps.
