移动医疗应用程序（“应用程序”）迅速激增，但它们改善患者预后的能力仍不清楚。患者和临床医生还没有一个经过验证的工具来解决应用程序潜在的重要方面。本研究的目的是开发并初步评估一个可用的、有效的、开源的评级工具，以客观地衡量健康应用程序的风险和收益。我们通过使用Delphi过程完成了这一任务，在此过程中，我们构建了一个名为THESIS的应用评级工具，可以促进明智的应用选择。我们使用了一个系统的过程来选择>= 4星和
Mobile health applications ("apps") have rapidly proliferated, yet their ability to improve outcomes for patients remains unclear. A validated tool that addresses apps' potentially important dimensions has not been available to patients and clinicians. The objective of this study was to develop and preliminarily assess a usable, valid, and open-source rating tool to objectively measure the risks and benefits of health apps. We accomplished this by using a Delphi process, where we constructed an app rating tool called THESIS that could promote informed app selection. We used a systematic process to select chronic disease apps with >= 4 stars and
