NHS Digital has confirmed that the apps library has two apps dedicated to diabetes and a further eight apps helping with healthy living including healthy eating plans and fitness. In addition, there are three apps helping with general practitioner appointment management and repeat prescription booking. NHS Digital has a further four apps that are nearing the completion of their assessment that it hopes to add to the library in the coming weeks. Diabetes is one of the top five conditions that NHS Digital is prioritising for the library, aligned with the NHS Five Year Forward View. NHS Digital is currently in the process of building a mechanism to enable healthcare professionals to be able to select their own priority health themes and have suitable apps assessed.
