The European Directory of Health Apps
This first edition of the European Directory of Health Apps
was launched on October 3rd 2012 at the European Health Forum Gastein
2012. Gastein is a key event in the Brussels healthcare calendar—an
annual gathering of European-level policymakers, academics, industry and
patient groups http://www.ehfg.org/home.html
This unique Directory contains facts about 200 smartphone health apps capable of helping patients self manage their medical conditions. The Directory
represents not just the first occasion on which such information has
been gathered together on a large number of medical conditions—the key
difference about the Directory is that the health apps it lists
have all been recommended by patient groups and empowered
consumers, then categorised and indexed in several ways (including by
local language), to make the details easy for readers to find. Another
distinction about the Directory is that it lists health apps on all of
the major operating systems (Android, Apple, BlackBerry, Nokia, and
Windows Phone), not just apps that are carried on one. Robert Madelin,
European Commission Director General for Communications Networks,
Content and Technology (DG Connect) has written the Foreword to the Directory.
