There are more than 1,000 health smartphone/tablet apps released every month. You can use them to measure your mood, track your menstrual cycle (to determine your fertile period) and monitor your glucose levels. Last year the Department of Health suggested that GPs should start prescribing them.
每个月有超过1000款健康智能手机/平板电脑应用程序发布。您可以使用它们来检测你的情绪、跟踪你的月经周期(来确定你的育龄期)以及监控你的血糖水平。去年,卫生部建议普通开业医生应该开始对其开处方。
But you shouldn't confuse a health app with your doctor. For a start, they aren't regulated – in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has been working on guidelines, but in the UK the MHRA only regulates medical devices, which excludes most apps – and are of varying quality.
但是你不应该把你的医生与健康应用混淆。首先,他们没有受到监管——在美国,食品和药物管理局一直致力于准则,但在英国药监机构只监管医疗设备,包括大多数应用程序——且质量不一。
They can also be harmful. This week a research paper published in the Archives of Dermatology looked at four smartphone apps designed to help people diagnose their skin lesions as benign moles or melanomas. It showed that the accuracy of the apps in identifying lesions that were melanomas varied between 6.8% and 98.1%. The best results were with an app that sent the image of the lesion directly to a board-certified dermatologist for analysis. The worst ones used automatic algorithms to analyse images.
