Mobile applications represent an immense opportunity to support and improve patient health care, as the scope and functionality of medical apps are enabling physicians and patients to manage care in new, fast, and personalized ways. Several challenges exist in medical-app development, including careful attention to quality systems, medical-device regulation, and app life span. Despite these complexities, we find that development of mobile medical apps is a worthwhile undertaking given their potential to improve outcomes for patients.
移动应用程序为支持和改善患者医疗保健提供了巨大的机会，因为医疗应用程序的范围和功能使医生和患者能够以新的、快速的和个性化的方式管理护理。在医疗应用程序的开发中存在一些挑战，包括对质量系统、医疗器械监管和应用程序寿命的仔细关注。尽管存在这些复杂性，但我们发现开发移动医疗应用程序是值得的，因为它们有可能改善患者的治疗效果。
