  • Propose level of detail health app quality report
  • Test label display in app stores, app libraries and trusted sources

  • Involve relevant stakeholders through various channels
  • Document 'use stories' of pilots with CEN-ISO/TS 82304-2 in Italy, Catalonia, the Netherlands, Norway, ..
  • Explore with health insurers and Health Technology Assessment bodies how the ISO assessment framework can help in decision-making on reimbursement of health apps
