Xcertia releases updated mobile health-app guidelines for comment

Updated mobile health-application guidelines concerning privacy, security, operability, usability and content have been released for public comment by Xcertia, a nonprofit founded by the AMA and other major players in health care and technology. 

Editor's Note: This article originally appeared on the American Medical Association's website.

The release was made at the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual Global Conference and Exhibition being held this year in Orlando, Florida, with about 45,000 people in attendance. 

The AMA’s involvement with the Xcertia effort is an outgrowth of policy adopted in 2016 by the AMA House of Delegates on the integration of mHealth apps and devices into medical practice

HIMSS is one of the AMA’s partners in Xcertia’s effort to collaboratively develop mHealth-industry guidelines. The American Heart Association and digital health nonprofit DHX Group are also partners. The updated privacy and security guidelines are now open for comment until May 15 at Xcertia’s website. Click here to continue>>
