Polish uMARS ready!

Opublikowany przez

It is our great pleasure to announce new publication from Polish Telemedicine and e-Health Society „Translation and Validation of the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale Into the Polish Language: Cross-Sectional Methodological Study” authored by Wojciech Glinkowski, Tomasz Cedro, Joanna Nowicka, Rafał Doniec, Bartłomiej Michalak, Bożena Glinkowska, Stoyan Stoyanov. We hope this paper and methodology now adapted to users in Poland will help increase quality assessment of e-Health and m-Health solutions for both users and creators.

Abstract

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) apps can innovatively diagnose, prevent, and treat many diseases. The increasing use of mHealth apps necessitates an appropriate assessment standard.

Objective: This study aimed to translate the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS) into Polish, followed by validation, cultural adaptation, and examination of its reliability and validity.

Methods: The Polish version of uMARS was adapted, translated, and validated based on the free STOP COVID ProteGO Safe app available for Android and iOS platforms. A total of 117 participants rated the app using the translated scale and rerated it 1 week later

Results: The conceptual equivalence of all items and subscales of the original uMARS and its Polish version was confirmed. The translated uMARS scale exhibited high reliability (Cronbach α=0.95). The perceived test-retest reliability and total influence score were acceptable, with intraclass correlation coefficient values of 0.59 and 0.65, respectively

Conclusions: The translated scale matched the reliability of the original scale. It can help users choose the best mHealth apps available in Poland and report their quality. The Polish version of uMARS was cross-culturally validated and was found to be as reliable as the original uMARS. The translated and validated uMARS tool can be used to evaluate mHealth apps in various aspects. App developers can reliably assess app components and determine areas that require further improvement and development to deliver higher-quality apps. The Polish version of the uMARS can become a standard tool for evaluating the quality of mHealth apps in Poland.

Szanowni Państwo,

Przekazuję informację dotyczącą standaryzacji protokołów przesyłania danych mobilnych. Wersja 1.0 IEEE 1752.1 schemas została oficjalnie opublikowana na stronie Open Source [1]. Dokument standardu jest prawie gotowy i wkrótce zostanie opublikowany. To repozytorium zawiera standard IEEE dotyczący minimalnych metadanych w zakresie aktywności fizycznej i mobilności oraz miar snu dla 1752.1™ Standard for Mobile Health Data . Nad tymi standardami pracuje Grupa Robocza P1752 Standard for Mobile Health Data [2]. Więcej informacji na temat rodziny standardów P1752 dla grupy roboczej Mobile Health Data można znaleźć tutaj [3].

Jako członek tej grupy roboczej zapraszam zainteresowane osoby i instytucje do kontaktu bezpośredniego ze mną.
