Open stakeholder meeting on mHealth assessment guidelines

Recently, the European Commission initiated the development of guidelines for assessing data validity and reliability of mHealth apps. Public authorities from EU Member States, civil society organisations representing patients and professionals, research institutions and industry representatives with expertise in developing health apps are working together in a working group to draft the guidelines by the end of 2016.

In this open stakeholder meeting the first draft of the guidelines will be presented and discussed with the stakeholders. Participants will be invited to share their views on what they think the main purpose and focus of these guidelines should be and what aspects it should cover.

Stakeholders will also have the opportunity to submit their written contributions and comments via an online consultation which will be launched following the meeting.
