French Version of the User Mobile Application Rating Scale: Adaptation and Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Managing noncommunicable diseases effectively requires continuous coordination and monitoring, often facilitated by eHealth technologies like mobile health (mHealth) apps. The end-user version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale is a valuable tool for assessing the quality of mHealth apps from the user perspective. However, the absence of a French version restricts its use in French-speaking countries, where the evaluation and regulation of mHealth apps are still lacking, despite the increasing number of apps and their strong relevance in health care.

Objective

This study aims to translate and culturally adapt a French version of the user Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS-F) and to test its overall and internal reliability.
