In the unconscious mind, an "app" is a small program available on smartphone, offered either for free or for less than a euro, and that gives a service. In health care, this simple question of wording has therefore a pejorative connotation of "gadget".
Thus, the specialized and general media often list the Top 10 or Top 20 most useful health apps, mixing indifferently medical specialties: choose an app, choose a disease.
Should we list the Moovcare solution which demonstrated a very significant improvement in the survival of patients suffering from lung cancer alongside other medical "apps" giving information for instance about pregnancy simply because they use the same technology?
