Introduction:
Mobile health applications (MHAs) represent a tool to assist patients affected by different disease including bladder cancer (BCa), although the scientific quality and adherence to guidelines are not yet addressed.
Materials And Methods:
On September 2024, we conducted a search in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We reviewed all mobile apps from Apple App Store and Google Play Store for BC and evaluated their usage in screening, prevention, management, and adherence to EAU guidelines.
Results:
In total 10 MHA were reviewed. All MHAs are geared towards the patient and provide information about diagnoses and treatment of BC. The mean score was 3.29 in Engagement, 3.26 in Functionality, 3.06 in Aesthetics, 3.13 in Information, and 3 in Subjective quality respectively. MHAs reported low and medium adherence to EAU guidelines.
Conclusions:
MHAs provide different services in many medical fields, including BCa. There are several drawbacks regarding scientific validation, content, and quality. Future research is necessary to promote new user designed, and high-quality apps.
