移动健康 (mHealth) 应用市场在过去十年中迅速发展。目前有超过 100,000 个移动医疗应用程序,但没有集中的资源来收集这些与健康相关的应用程序的信息,以便该领域的研究人员有效评估这些应用程序的优缺点。本研究的目的是创建一个集中的移动医疗应用程序存储库。我们期望对该存储库中的信息进行分析,为未来的移动医疗研究发展提供见解。我们专注于来自两个最成熟的应用商店(Apple App Store 和 Google Play Store)的应用程序。我们通过Python爬虫程序从这两个应用程序商店中提取了每个与健康相关的应用程序的详细信息,然后以用户友好的数组格式和标准的JavaScript对象表示法(JSON)格式存储信息。我们开发了一个集中资源,提供来自 Apple App Store 和 Google Play Store 的 60,000 多个健康相关应用程序的详细信息。利用此信息资源,我们系统地分析了数千个应用程序,并概述了移动医疗应用程序的趋势。这个独特的数据库允许对健康相关应用程序进行元分析,并为移动医疗领域未来应用程序的研究设计提供指导。
The market of mobile health (mHealth) apps has rapidly evolved in the past decade. With more than 100,000 mHealth apps currently available, there is no centralized resource that collects information on these health-related apps for researchers in this field to effectively evaluate the strength and weakness of these apps. The objective of this study was to create a centralized mHealth app repository. We expect the analysis of information in this repository to provide insights for future mHealth research developments. We focused on apps from the two most established app stores, the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. We extracted detailed information of each health-related app from these two app stores via our python crawling program, and then stored the information in both a user-friendly array format and a standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. We have developed a centralized resource that provides detailed information of more than 60,000 health-related apps from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Using this information resource, we analyzed thousands of apps systematically and provide an overview of the trends for mHealth apps. This unique database allows the meta-analysis of health-related apps and provides guidance for research designs of future apps in the mHealth field.
