Our aims in this study were to: 1) review diabetes apps available in Canada using the Mobile App Rating Scale tool and generate usability scores for each, 2) characterize availability of features across all apps, 3) evaluate the clinical safety of bolus insulin calculators and 4) evaluate the quality of exportable blood glucose reports meant for use by health-care providers.
Two primary reviewers searched for, screened and evaluated diabetes apps from the Android Play Store and iOS App Store, resulting from the search terms "glucose" and "diabetes."
Overall Mobile App Rating Scale quality rating score was 3.1 out of 5. The Functionality subsection scored the highest (3.9 out of 5) and Information scored the lowest (2.0 out of 5). The majority of apps have the ability to track carbohydrate intake (54 of 75, 72%), send reminders (46 of 75, 61%) and can generate blood glucose reports (53 of 75, 71%), but few have bolus insulin calculators (6 of 75, 9%) and remote diabetes support (10 of 75, 13%).
Despite the widespread availability of many iOS and Android diabetes management apps, few are of high quality.
我们在这项研究中的目的是:1)使用移动应用程序评级量表工具审查加拿大可用的糖尿病应用程序,并为每个应用程序生成可用性得分,2)描述所有应用程序中功能的可用性,3)评估推注胰岛素计算器的临床安全性,以及 4)评估旨在供医疗保健提供者使用的可导出血糖报告的质量。
两名主要审查员从 Android Play 商店和 iOS App Store 搜索、筛选和评估了搜索术语“葡萄糖”和“糖尿病”产生的糖尿病应用程序。
总体移动应用程序评级量表质量评分得分为 3.1 分(满分 5 分)。功能部分得分最高(3.9 分,满分 5 分),信息部分得分最低(2.0 分,满分 5 分)。大多数应用程序都具有跟踪碳水化合物摄入量的功能(75 个中的 54 个,72%)、发送提醒(75 个中的 46 个,61%)和生成血糖报告的功能(75 个中的 53 个,71%),但很少有推注胰岛素计算器(75 个中的 6 个,9%)和远程糖尿病支持(75 个中的 10 个,13%)。
尽管有许多适用于 iOS 和 Android 的糖尿病管理应用程序广泛可用,但很少有高质量的应用程序。
