🗎 Publication alert! We are excited to announce another Label2Enable publication, authored by several project partners, including Anna-Lena Frey, Carme Pratdepàdua Bufill, Menno Kok and Petra Hoogendoorn: “Testing and Iterative Improvement of the CEN ISO/TS 82304-2 Health App Quality Assessment: Pilot Interrater Reliability Study." (available in JMIR Formative Research). This study focuses on evaluating the interrater reliability of the CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2 health app quality assessment framework, which is designed to ensure the quality and reliability of health and wellness apps. The research involved 11 assessors from diverse backgrounds, including health care, app development, and regulation, who independently evaluated 8 health apps using the framework. The findings revealed that 67% of the assessment items demonstrated moderate to excellent interrater reliability, while 33% showed fair to poor reliability. These results highlight areas where the framework can be refined to improve consistency among assessors. The study also emphasizes the importance of training and clear guidelines to enhance the reliability of health app assessments. The outcomes of this research are instrumental for stakeholders involved in health app development and assessment, as they contribute to the ongoing efforts to ensure the quality and reliability of health and wellness applications. We encourage our community members to read the full article to gain a deeper understanding of the advancements in health app quality assessment and to stay informed about the latest developments in this field.
