Mobile app record management system for ANC department

Abstract

The research addresses the use of practitioner-prescribed software applications for health management purposes when used on a mobile device (e.g. mobile phone, laptop, smart watch, or tablet) with the intent to evaluate, diagnose or treat an illness, injury, disease or its symptoms. However it does not address mobile-based software applications (MSAs) that are used in the function or control of another FDA-cleared or approved stand-alone hardware medical device. Neither does not address MSAs accessible to the general public for download (including direct-to-consumer [DTC] or “over the counter” applications), applications that promote general wellness, or applications operated by a healthcare practitioner in a clinical setting for remote health monitoring.

The author research has some benefit plans which may exclude coverage of consumer wearable or personal mobile devices (such as a smart phone, smart watch, or other personal tracking devices), including any software or applications. DTC applications are generally excluded from benefit plan coverage

Mobile-based health management applications are considered medically necessary when all of the following criteria in I and II have been met: Criteria to evaluate the mobile software application (MSA) and Criteria to evaluate the appropriateness of the MSA for the individual.
