Trusted Health Apps

More than 50% of patients looking for help and advice on health care are finding health Apps without a recommendation from a health and care professional.  But, with over 350,000 health Apps available - and only 20% meeting safety standards - how do we know they are finding the right ones? ...  Health and Social Care NI has endorsed a range of Apps that provide advice and guidance on useful topics to help you self-manage a range of ailments, conditions and life events.  Digital Health and Care Northern Ireland (DHCNI) in partnership with ORCHA (Organisation for Review of Care and Health Apps) has set up an Apps Library which hosts a selection of safe and trusted Apps.  These are continuously assessed by ORCHA against standards and regulations in clinical and professional assurance, data and privacy, and usability and accessibility.  Access the Library at: https://apps4healthcareni.hscni.net
