An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Digital Health
  • Mobile Health Applications

Background:

  • The proliferation of mobile health applications presents opportunities and challenges in various medical fields, including eye care.
  • Assessing the quality and development standards of available eye care applications is crucial for user safety and therapeutic efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and categorize eye care-related applications available on the Google Play Store.
  • To evaluate the involvement of eye care professionals and the evidence-based principles in the development of these applications.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of the Google Play Store was conducted using general eye care terms.
  • Data on 475 identified applications were collected from their respective websites, including target audience, category, downloads, user ratings, cost, and developer information.
  • Emphasis was placed on noting any mention of eye care professional involvement in app design or development.

Main Results:

  • A total of 475 eye care applications were identified and categorized into 13 distinct groups.
  • Only 107 (22.53%) applications explicitly mentioned the involvement of eye care professionals in their development.
  • Many applications exhibited low download numbers, lacked user ratings, and did not clearly state evidence-based principles.

Conclusions:

  • A significant proportion of eye care applications lack documented professional input and may not adhere to evidence-based standards.
  • The absence of standardization in application development poses potential risks to users seeking eye health information or support.
  • Further scrutiny and regulation are recommended to ensure the quality, safety, and reliability of eye care mobile applications.
