为了提高移动医疗（mHealth）干预措施报告的完整性，世卫组织移动医疗技术证据审查小组制定了移动医疗证据报告和评估清单。mERA的开发过程包括召集一个专家组来建议一种适当的方法，召集一个全球专家审查小组来制定核对表，并对核对表进行试点测试。制定这些标准的指导原则是确定确定移动医疗干预措施是什么（内容）、在哪里实施（背景）以及如何实施（技术特征）所需的最低信息集，以支持干预措施的复制。本文给出了最终的16项清单，并对每个项目进行了详细的解释和阐述，并附有说明性报告示例。通过广泛采用，我们期望这些指南的使用将使移动医疗证据报告的质量标准化，并间接提高移动医疗证据的质量。
To improve the completeness of reporting of mobile health (mHealth) interventions, the WHO mHealth Technical Evidence Review Group developed the mHealth evidence reporting and assessment (mERA) checklist. The development process for mERA consisted of convening an expert group to recommend an appropriate approach, convening a global expert review panel for checklist development, and pilot testing the checklist. The guiding principle for the development of these criteria was to identify a minimum set of information needed to define what the mHealth intervention is (content), where it is being implemented (context), and how it was implemented (technical features), to support replication of the intervention. This paper presents the resulting 16 item checklist and a detailed explanation and elaboration for each item, with illustrative reporting examples. Through widespread adoption, we expect that the use of these guidelines will standardise the quality of mHealth evidence reporting, and indirectly improve the quality of mHealth evidence.
