Health Choice Awards
Digital Health & Self-management
Software that helps people understand health information or complete a defined self-management task.
Products considered
Identify the software release, algorithm where relevant, operating environment and intended users. Explain the task the product supports. General lifestyle content without a supported product task is insufficient for this category.
The assessment
What reviewers consider
- Does the evidence support the benefit claimed for the intended users?
- Can people complete the main task, understand its output and recover from an error?
- Are subscriptions, permissions, connectivity and device requirements clear?
- How do updates affect the function, evidence and information provided?
Your application
Prepare for this category
- Release and relevant algorithm identifiers, supported platforms and dependencies
- Evidence for the stated benefit, distinguishing use or engagement from health outcomes
- A demonstration of onboarding, the main task, explanations, help and accessibility
- Current user information, data-access requirements, subscriptions and update support
Evidence and everyday use
Downloads, active users and time spent can describe engagement. Explain separately what establishes the claimed benefit. If evidence concerns an earlier release, show which relevant functions changed and why the findings remain applicable.
Can several software releases be covered?
Identify the releases and compare their functions, algorithms and user workflows. The supporting material must explain the versions covered rather than relying on the app name alone.
