    ORCHA works with CCGs and Providers to develop health app portals, allowing professionals easy and clear access to a verified resource, enabling them to find and recommend the best apps to patients.

    “Health and care apps can offer huge benefit to patients, really empowering them to manage and improve their health. However, there is a huge choice out there, so ORCHA really helps all involved to understand which are the best and most trustworthy.”
    Dr George Dingle, GP, Morecambe Bay area

    Summary:
    ORCHA works with CCGs and Providers to develop health app libraries which integrate with local systems and strategies. This allows professionals easy and clear access to a verified resource, allowing them to enhance services and outcomes by finding and prescribing the best apps to patients. ORCHA is currently working with a growing number of health and care economies which enable local populations to gain access to a trusted health app store so they can choose apps to keep them well.

    Challenge/problem identified:
    ORCHA provides a live resource of reviewed health and care apps which can be easily searched, compared, recommended, and downloaded through its easy-to-use platform. Thorough reviews and a simple scoring system highlight functional capabilities of the apps, making it easier for users to confidently and quickly compare and choose the best apps.

    Impact:

    • Data collation and reporting of app usage by population, patient and professional group, to help assess and prove digital strategies, investment and outcomes
    • Activating over eight million people and patients to use healthcare apps in England
    • Over 90% of healthcare professionals believe that health apps will increase their knowledge of patients’ conditions*

    *2015 Research Now Group study of 500 healthcare professionals and 1,000 health app users
