“…Smartphones or tablets loaded with mHealth apps will connect hospital systems anywhere, and mHealth apps will offer abundant potential for improving coordination among patients and clinicians, and their healthcare institutions. Although mHealth, an informatics sub discipline, exploits mobile communications devices for health and wellness activities, Fox et al (2017) used the mHealth domain as the context for an interdisciplinary learning experience for professionals.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is threefold: first, to draw health managers’, clinicians’, entrepreneurs’ and mobile apps designers’ attention toward new mobile health applications (mHealth apps); second, to define mHealth apps design characteristics intended for doctors; and third, to highlight how mHealth apps can be designed using quality function deployment/house of quality (QFD/HOQ) techniques from doctors’ perspectives. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a survey and in-depth interviews with doctors to understand their needs and attitudes toward mHealth apps. Analytic hierarchy process, QFD and HOQ methods were used to analyze data. Findings Doctors agreed that mHealth apps provide them with the tools to improve their service and to become more efficient. Once the 12 doctors’ wants were collected, they were prioritized according to their significance and used for mHealth apps development. Eight technical characteristics that cater to doctors’ expectations were sorted. The authors suggest that mHealth app designers need to provide design requirements recommended by health personnel for a higher satisfaction level. Originality/value Healthcare managers are focusing on increasing their efficiency, patient satisfaction and care quality, and decreasing costs. For these purposes, mHealth revolution and mHealth apps have high potential for improving doctor effectiveness and healthcare quality. This study is among the first to: define Turkish doctors’ wants from mHealth apps; elaborate the app’s technical characteristics; and increase design quality, which is implied in improving app design. This research makes a significant contribution to define doctors’ wants from mHealth apps, to elaborate their technical characteristics and to increase mHealth apps design quality using QFD.

“…[14][15][16][17] In their study examining the possibility of prescribing mHealth applications in oncology, Berkowitz 17 et al recalled the importance of obtaining marketing authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fox BI 18 argued that the prescription of certain types of mHealth applications could contribute to reducing hospital readmissions provided that the following conditions were met: provision of support to patients in their use of these applications; prioritization of applications adapted to patients' literacy level; verification of effective use; and allowance of dedicated nursing time. In their literature review of mHealth prescribing for the period 2005-2015, Daifi et al 19 proposed the development of stores with applications evaluated based on clinical data and approved for medical use by the FDA.…”
