Avaliação de Aplicativos de Saúde Mental
Abstract
The goal is to evaluate mental health apps using ISO/TS 82304-2 standard protocol in order to verify if apps that are well evaluated by the public would score well in technical analysis. Two top ranked national and international apps were evaluated after searching Google Play Store, as well as cataloging and selection that were evaluated according to the protocol. The level of specificity of the method, as well as the lack of information made available by the developers of the apps were obstacles to the study. The results obtained and the quality of the information sources made available about the apps were considered negative for the health scenario. It was also noted that apps highlighted by the score and number of downloads are not necessarily endowed with a high level of excellence.
