The number of mobile applications (apps) related to health is increasing, and diabetes mellitus (DM) is not an exception. The aim of this study was to assess the free mobile applications for the management of diabetes available, in Spanish, in the Spanish market.
GooglePlay (Android) and AppStore (iOS) were reviewed to identify free apps, in Spanish, aimed at people with diabetes. Their main functions and a series of quality and usability features were evaluated and scored. These scores were used to make a top list with the best apps.
Out of 794 registered apps, 42 were evaluated and included in the quality assessment, while 34 apps were included in the usability assessment. The main function of most of the apps was to act as a blood glucose diary (n: 30; 71.43%). As for privacy, most of the applications (33 apps; 78.6%) access device/personal data. Only a minority of apps [3 (7.1%)] reported being based on evidence, and only 3 apps (7.1%) had a quality label. The top scored apps were: OneTouch Reveal™, Social Diabetes™, mySugr: App Diario de diabetes™, Diabetes menú™, Tactio SALUD™ and Diabetes:M™.
There are few free apps for diabetes management available in Spanish, most lack quality certification and very few provide scientific references about their content. Furthermore, most of the apps access personal/device data.
与健康相关的移动应用程序（应用）数量正在增加，糖尿病（DM）也不例外。本研究的目的是评估西班牙市场上可用的西班牙语免费糖尿病管理移动应用程序。
对谷歌应用商店（安卓）和苹果应用商店（iOS）进行审查，以识别针对糖尿病患者的西班牙语免费应用程序。对其主要功能以及一系列质量和可用性特征进行评估并打分。这些分数用于列出最佳应用程序的排行榜。
在794个注册应用程序中，42个被评估并纳入质量评估，34个应用程序被纳入可用性评估。大多数应用程序的主要功能是充当血糖日记（n = 30；71.43%）。至于隐私方面，大多数应用程序（33个应用程序；78.6%）访问设备/个人数据。只有少数应用程序[3个（7.1%）]报告基于证据，只有3个应用程序（7.1%）有质量标签。得分最高的应用程序是：OneTouch Reveal™、Social Diabetes™、mySugr：糖尿病日记应用™、Diabetes menú™、Tactio SALUD™ 和 Diabetes:M™。
西班牙市场上可供糖尿病管理使用的免费应用程序很少，大多数缺乏质量认证，很少有应用程序提供其内容的科学参考文献。此外，大多数应用程序会访问个人/设备数据。
