New article: CEN ISO/TS 82304-2 tested with further organisations across several countries

This study focuses on evaluating the interrater reliability of the CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2 health app quality assessment framework, which is designed to ensure the quality and reliability of health and wellness apps. The research involved 11 assessors from diverse backgrounds, including health care, app development, and regulation, who independently evaluated 8 health apps using the framework.​

The findings revealed that 67% of the assessment items demonstrated moderate to excellent interrater reliability, while 33% showed fair to poor reliability. These results highlight areas where the framework can be refined to improve consistency among assessors. The study also emphasizes the importance of training and clear guidelines to enhance the reliability of health app assessments.​

The outcomes of this research are instrumental for stakeholders involved in health app development and assessment, as they contribute to the ongoing efforts to ensure the quality and reliability of health and wellness applications.​
