ORCHA

Healthcare apps can provide patients with information to aid in living a healthier lifestyle, managing existing conditions and even accessing healthcare services. Despite apps being a useful way of accessing information, with so many on the market it is hard to find which is best for you. 

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside in Cheshire East have partnered with ORCHA (organisation for the Review of Care and Health Applications) to provide a site where patients can review approved sites and decide what's best for you. 

ORCHA carries out independent and impartial reviews of health and care apps, meaning that each app that appears on this site has undergone a rigorous review process that scores them according to their Clinical Assurance, Data Privacy and User Experience. Apps can then be filtered based on user need to show the right ones for patients. 

To begin looking for the right app for your needs go to ORCHA's Website.
