Recital 49

Users of wellness applications, including applications for mobile devices, should be informed about the capacity of such applications to be connected and to supply data to EHR systems or to national electronic health solutions in cases where data produced by wellness applications are useful for healthcare purposes. The capability of those applications to export data in an interoperable format is also relevant for data portability purposes. Where applicable, users should also be informed about the compliance of such wellness applications with interoperability and security requirements. However, given the large number of wellness applications and the limited relevance for healthcare purposes of the data produced by many of them, a certification scheme for these applications would not be proportionate. A mandatory labelling scheme for wellness applications for which interoperability with EHR systems is claimed should therefore be established as an appropriate mechanism for providing transparency for the users of wellness applications regarding compliance with requirements under this Regulation, thereby supporting users in their choice of appropriate wellness applications with high standards of interoperability and security. The Commission should set out by means of implementing acts the details regarding the format and content of such label.
