The IEEE SA is assembling an international, multi-disciplinary expert advisor committee for the development of a global standardized mobile app registry for apps intended for clinical care and therapeutic uses. The global standardized registry will serve as a directory of apps that have attested and been assessed for satisfying the established set of criteria required to attain an IEEE standard identifier for inclusion in the registry. The multi-point criteria will be developed and built with consensus by a diverse group of expert committee members. An IEEE standardized registry identifiers indicates to all stakeholders that the app developer has attested to consensus-developed criteria and has been assigned a standardized identifier.
