16 JOURNAL OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE VOL. 7 ISSUE 1 MARCH 2018 Background: Mobile applications (apps) to improve health are becoming increasingly popular among patients. In order to keep pace with demand, clinicians, healthcare organizations, and insurers will need practical methods to efficiently evaluate apps that are of potential benefit to their patients.
