- Development: The manufacturer can use the assessment questions as input to he software development plan;
- Validation: The manufacturer can use the assessment question to estqablis the quality and reliability of the health app. In addition, a health app assessment organization can do an externatl assessment;
- Installation, maintenance and disposal: The assessment questions include processes that the app manufacturer can undertake to ensure the quality and reliability of the health app after it is put on the market;

- Provide advice and consultancy to health app manufacturers to improve the quality and reliability of their health apps;
- Provide complimentary assessment services, such as gathering and analysing user reviews
G.3 Specification development organizations
Specification development organizations can:
- Develop profiles of this document for particular use cases (…)
- Develop additional context-specific assessment questions for aspects of quality and reliability that are not included in this document. For example, there can be assessment questions that cover national or regional interoperability frameworks, or local legislation. Such additional questions will not impact the calculation method for the health app quality score but can be communicated to potential customer and users alongside the label and report specified in this document.
G.4 Potential customers and users
Potential customers and users can:
- Communitate their quality and reliability requirements to potential manufacturers of health apps. This can be done by setting minimum health app quality scoreds, or by requiring that specific questions are answered positively;
- Use the health app quality label or health app quality report to determine whether a health app meets their requirements for quality and reliability. The levels of quality and reliability required can vary depending upon the contex;
- Use the health app quality labe and health app quality report in the process of selecting health apps to be included in clinical guidelines, care pathways and care contracts.
G.5 Digital marketplace provider
A digital marketplace provider such as app stores and repositories can require that a health app ha a health app quality label issued by a trusted app assessment organization to quality fo their health and wellness section. This would reduce the reputational and other risks associated with including health apps of unknown quality and reliability on the marketplace.
