"Mobile health apps will be added to treatment guidelines:

Treatment guidelines from major clinical organizations will adopt and recommend the use of mobile health apps this year – some already have done so. The trend toward developing and publishing hard evidence of the value of digital tools and interventions will continue with more than 3,500 studies expected through 2022. The emergence of well-designed apps and mobile devices has paralleled the development of rigorous clinical trial evidence supporting their value. As mobile apps are better integrated into provider workflows and supported by payer reimbursement, adoption will expand further. These advances offer the potential to improve outcomes for patients sometimes at near-zero incremental costs. While alignment on the appropriate sets of features and safeguards has taken time to develop, there is growing consensus and technology innovators are advancing into the field in significant numbers."
