Objective:
Aim: to assess the functionality of mHealth apps with a Ukrainian interface and their compliance with personal data processing requirements.
Patients And Methods:
Matherials and Methods: we employed methods such as Overview, Data Retrieval and Analysis. The study is also based on overviewing and analyzing data of 40 mHealth apps.
Results:
Results: a study of 40 Ukrainian-language mHealth apps was conducted: 27.5% work only on Android, 72.5% on Android and iOS. There were identified 24 functions, among which the most common are arranging an appointment with a doctor (in 17 apps), online doctor consultation (in 12 apps), searching and reserving medicines (in 12 apps). Only 20 apps have a privacy policy, but most do not provide sufficient details on data processing. Only 9 apps have requirements for user data deletion, and 12 have mechanisms for withdrawing consent to data processing.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: as a result of the study, there were detected risks for users of mHealth apps due to insufficient transparency of privacy policies, the lack of precise mechanisms for transferring personal data to third parties, withdrawal of personal data processing consent, and data deletion requirements.
