- Abstract
The article discusses a study which investigated the effectiveness of smart-phone applications (apps) for assessing the risk of type 2 diabetes. It carried out a literature review and found no studies describing the development, validation and implementation of these apps. It concluded that the evidence base for the existing apps for assessing type 2 diabetes risk is lacking; however, it suggested that smart-phone apps may increase the uptake to screening and may motivate behaviour change.
