“…However, one cannot forget the importance of evaluation approaches; this process is capable of evaluating the potential of a technological tool and the importance of the attributes it brings, presenting itself as an indispensable step in the process of wide use of applications 29 . In fact, there is a need to evaluate technologies developed for the health field, which includes validating the effectiveness and reliability of these resources before using the tool with a larger population 12,23 . Knowledge of the target audience's experiences and the effects of using an application is one of the most important aspects for validating this type of tool 14 .…”

“…Moreover, studies 8,11,16,23 refer that a tool's dialogue with users should promote behavioral change in favor of health and that health informatics applications can make a difference in people's lives, as they serve as allies to a series of content and services, encouraging the promotion of healthier behaviors. Indeed, a well-directed and clear language favors users to understand and formulate or re-signify meanings, which allows adopting behaviors that improve their health conditions 23 .…”

Resumo A avaliação de aplicativos voltados à saúde é necessária para a sua adequação e disseminação na sociedade. O aplicativo GestAção foi avaliado com base na opinião de 13 gestantes acompanhadas em consultas pré-natais, em três serviços públicos de saúde e em uma instituição privada, em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Os dados emergiram do processo avaliativo realizado de junho a dezembro de 2017, incluindo entrevistas semiestruturadas, tendo sido analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática e da Semiótica, resultando no tema “significados atribuídos ao aplicativo pelas gestantes”, a qual se associa aos seguintes núcleos de sentido: fornecimento de informações seguras e diversificadas; possibilidade de mudança de comportamento e motivações para a utilização do aplicativo. Considera-se que a Semiótica permitiu compreender os significados atribuídos ao aplicativo, a partir da interação das gestantes com a ferramenta, indicando o GestAção como satisfatório, motivador ao uso, informativo, seguro e promotor de mudanças no contexto da saúde gestacional. O olhar das participantes possibilita que a tecnologia avaliada possa compor as estratégias voltadas à promoção e aos cuidados à saúde das gestantes.

Objective: to evaluate the GestAção application, based on the experience of pregnant women use. Method: an evaluative, applied, methodological, quantitative-qualitative study. This tool was evaluated by 13 pregnant women through questionnaires for sociodemographic profile characterization and Likert scale use to calculate Content Validity Index (CVI); and semi-structured interview, with analysis based on Semiotics. Results: the study evidenced a significant level of satisfaction of pregnant women with the application use, considering the objectives (CVI = 0.92), structure and presentation (CVI = 0.86), and relevance (CVI = 0.92). Final considerations: the GestAção application obtained an overall CVI of 0.90, evidencing it as a facilitating and supporting technology in the empowerment of pregnant women interested in obtaining knowledge about pregnancy. It has been proved to be a powerful tool to qualify good practices in nursing consultation. RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar o aplicativo GestAção, com base na experiência de uso das gestantes.

Purpose This study aimed to assess commonly downloaded apps targeting neck pain (NP) using the Mobile Apps Rating Scale (MARS), to characterise the interventions described in the apps and to correlate the ratings of quality retrieved from app stores against the ratings of quality assessed using MARS. Materials and methods A systematic search was conducted at the Apple App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store and Huawei App Gallery. Mobile apps with 100 or more ratings, a user rating of 4 or higher and which were available for free were retrieved for assessment. Results A total of 17 apps met the inclusion criteria. The mean user rating was 4.4 ± 0.28, the mean MARS score was 4.0 ± 0.58 and the correlation between user ratings and MARS total scores and subdomains varied between a maximum of 0.41 (p > 0.05) and a minimum of −0.11 (p > 0.05). All apps included exercise but only 5 (29%) included an educational component. Conclusions The most downloaded apps on NP available for free in app stores are, generally, of acceptable quality as assessed by the MARS total score, target exercise, but fail to include an appropriate educational component. The user rating available in app stores is not an indicator of the quality of the apps. Therefore, health professionals should carefully assess the mobile apps before recommending them to the patients.
