In our upcoming Hacking HealthTech Hackathon with University of Newcastle, we're targeting interdisciplinary teaming and collaboration to help stimulate the creation of the next generation of potential health entrepreneurs and ventures. It's an event focussed on building both digital literacy and product design literacy at undergraduate level, using experienced clinicians and mentors to help shape better designed ventures and ideas.
We're seeing some excellent resources appearing about the shortfalls of Mobile Health Apps (called mHealth for short) available on iTunes and Android Marketplaces. To help in briefing our event attendees, we've collected some of the latest research and articles on how quality is rated - it's something that needs to be designed in from the start - and put it into our Devpost discussion threads as http://2016-hacking-healthtech-uon.devpost.com/forum_topics/5641-building-quality-into-health-apps-from-the-start.
We're also going to drop them in here for general audience visibility and comment.
