NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE — APP STORE RISKS

NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE — APP STORE RISKS
Half of apps (50 %, n = 35/70) included strong
identifiers in transmitted information. Two-
thirds of these (66 %, n = 23/35, 29 % of all
apps) sent identifying information without
encryption, including email addresses (n = 5),
account login details (n = 5), full name (n=2) or
date of birth (n=2).

NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE — APP STORE RISKS
[Of the apps with privacy policies,] for a small
number (4 %, n = 2/49) information handling was
completely consistent with commitments made by
the policy. However, while no apps transmitted
information where a specific commitment had
been made not to, four-fifths either collected (82
%, n = 42/49) or transmitted (78 %, n = 38/49) one
or more data items not addressed by a policy.

THREE KEYS TO INCORPORATING APPS
1  Use reputable institutions & verified
developers.
2  Try an app yourself first. If an average
person can use it — prescribe it.
3  Informed consent on security, privacy,
and lack of testing is key.

•  How can the following patients take
advantage of apps to help with their
condition?
•  When should apps not be used?
•  Where can you turn to for more information?
@JohnTorousMD + @StevenChanMD

Case 2a. A 30-year-old female with no prior
history comes in for intake, stating that her
boyfriend brought her here saying she needed to
see a psychiatrist. Her boyfriend has threatened
her to not leave him on a daily basis and has
closely monitored her Android smartphone’s call
logs and messaging. She is planning to leave him.
You find that her symptoms are most consistent
with PTSD.
Case 2b. A 30-year-old female (similar to #2a)
comes in for intake, but instead of Android, she
has an iPhone.
@JohnTorousMD + @StevenChanMD
HTTPS://GOO.GL/nrlDRg
Case 2c. A 30-year-old female has a new-onset history
of panic attacks. She has no access to a psychotherapist,
lives in a remote rural area 2 hours away, and has an
iPhone.
Case 2d. A 30-year-old female presents similarly to #2c,
but instead of an iPhone, she has an“Obamaphone.”You
ask her what an“Obamaphone”is, and she shows you
her Palm Pré.
Case 2e. A 30-year-
old female presents similarly to #2c, but instead of an iP
hone, she has a“dumbphone.”You ask her what a“dumb
phone”is, and she shows you a device with only SMS me
ssaging capabilities.
