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:
