3. What are the major blockers?
Awareness
Apps are not yet part of the day to day
management of health and care related
conditions
Accessibility
Finding and matching Apps to
support your needs or those of your
patients or service users is very
difficult
Trust
The lack of a suitable quality
indicator inhibits the embracing of
Apps by end users and
professionals in the health and care
space.
3
Governance
The lack of clarity around the
regulatory landscape and the
appropriate governance foundations
delivers organisational uncertainty.

needs
Key Features
We capture over 15 distinct functions

capabilities that they need help and
support with.
Individual Characteristics
Our review process identifies a range
of key characteristics that an App has
been designed to support. These range
from target age to physical and
cognitive capabilities.
Technical Preferences
Whether it is iOS or Android, Garmin or
FitBit or Strava v MapMyRun, the
technical world users inhabit is a key
element of an Apps ‘stickability’.
