• What is the problem that we are solving?
• GPs’ views of mobile technologies
• What is the Digital Health Guide?
• Searching for a digital health solution
• “Prescribing” a digital health solution
• Measuring quality – ratings
• Demonstration

“I’m getting patients coming into my practice using health apps, and I don’t know how to advise them.”

• An estimated 100k health and medical apps in the

iTunes and Google Play stores

• A large number of these are unhelpful or lack

evidence for their efficacy

• No regulation from the TGA or ACSQHC
• Early stage plans for “certification” from the Australian

Digital Health Agency

GPs’ views of mobile technologies

“To help health providers understand perspectives on the quality of digital health solutions, to promote an evidence-based approach to the use of digital health and to close the gap between health providers and engaged patients”

What is the Digital Health Guide?

• 1. Quickly understanding the mobile health app or digital

health solution that a patient is using

• Search for a solution by name, or find it by capability or

in an alphabetically ordered list

• Understand who created the solution and what it does
• Assess ratings and read reviews
• Decide whether solution is appropriate
• 2. “Prescribing” the use of an appropriate mobile health app
• r digital health solution
• Search for the required capabilities or disease /

condition

• Assess available solutions based on ratings, reviews and

the mobile devices owned by patient

• “Prescribe” solution to the patient, sending PDF with

data to their email

What is the Digital Health Guide?

• A rich set of information about digital health solutions, including:
• Who made it, and what are their affiliations?
• What platforms does it work on?
• A description of what the solution does
• What capabilities does the solution have?
• What diseases / conditions is the solution targeted at?
• What age groups is the solution suitable for?
• What is the pricing model?
• What evidence exists to support the efficacy of the solution? Clinical trials?
• How is is rated by other health providers? Patients? The app stores? The Digital Health Guide team?
• What do health providers have to say about it?

What is the Digital Health Guide?

• Built to integrate with HealthPathways
• Based on our deep understanding of the digital health market, we’ve focused initial content on the

solutions that are most widely used in Australia

• We’ve had a particular focus on low intensity mental health solutions
• Not just mobile health apps, but also digital health communities
• Information will grow as the research and evidence base for digital health grows
• New content only a weekly basis, guided by users
• Regular feature updates
• Built with the support of Primary Health Tasmania
