Digital health applications have the potential to improve disease monitoring and management. For the majority of available digital health applications, however, there is little evidence of (medical, organizational or economic) benefit. The thorough evaluation of a digital health application requires additional technology-specific domains. Decision-makers are thus faced with new challenges in the evaluation of these applications.
The aim of this report was to provide guidance to funding institutions and manufacturers as to what evidence is expected for which type of digital health application. For this purpose, the applicability of currently available assessment frameworks for digital health applications was examined.
