Assessing the Quality of Mobile Health-Related Apps: Interrater Reliability Study of Two Guides.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a huge number of health-related apps available, and the numbers are growing fast. However, many of them have been developed without any kind of quality control. In an attempt to contribute to the development of high-quality apps and enable existing apps to be assessed, several guides have been developed.

Objective

Moreover, we also focused on whether the interrater reliability of the measures is consistent across multiple types of apps and stakeholders.

Methods

In order to study the interrater reliability of the MA
