Last year the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fined the manufacturers of two mobile applications for claiming they could cure acne. The marketers of AcneApp said that a study in the British Journal of Dermatology showed blue and red light treatments (such as were emitted from their app) eliminated bacteria and reduced skin blemishes from acne by 76%. No wonder more than 11,000 people bought it from the iTunes store. The FTC said the study did not prove the light treatment worked and consumers who were holding their phones to their faces for a few minutes each day were wasting their time and $1.99 (£1.25).
去年联邦贸易委员会(FTC)对两个声称他们可以治疗痤疮的移动应用程序制造商进行了罚款。AcneApp销售商说《英国皮肤病学》杂志上的一项研究显示蓝红光疗法(如他们的应用程序发出的)可以消除痤疮76%的细菌和减少皮肤瑕疵。难怪有超过11000人从iTunes商店购买了它。美国联邦贸易委员会说这项研究并没有证明光疗有效,消费者拿着他们的手机每天花几分钟对着自己的脸是在浪费自己的时间和1.99美元(1.25英镑)。
If you do want to use a health app, go for well-known health brands (eg organisations such as the NHS, Red Cross, etc). Apps to track dieting that are produced by established weight loss companies are often good. Otherwise check who the authors are, how often it is updated and if it is referenced.
