AB  - Purpose: To determine the level of awareness, beliefs and experience of healthcare professionals (HCPs) regarding mobile applications for self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This review was done by searching the literature using three databases viz: PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. Assessment of quality of studies was carried out using the scale of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The results were presented in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Results: The search strategy identified 725 unique research papers, 4 of which were included. A survey among pharmacists showed that 56 % of participants were aware of the existence of mobile health applications, and that 60 % of those who were aware recommended their use. In the multi-HCPs setting, depending on the study, apps recommendation rate varied from 45.5 to 62 %. Most of the participants (88 %) agreed that a mobile app would help strengthen their treatment recommendations to the patients (88 %), and 84 % also agreed that it would help patients manage diabetes better. Conclusion: Not much research has been done on this topic. Available data suggest that the awareness of HCPs regarding mobile applications is unsatisfactory, and that those familiar with these apps find them useful and are ready to recommend them to patients. There is need for further research and measures to increase awareness and knowledge of HCPs about available mobile applications, in order to ensure adequate support to patients with diabetes.

AB  - The number of software - mobile applications intended for use in the field of people’s
health and well-being is constantly increasing. The aim of this review is to compare regulations
on software – mobile applications as medical devices in the United States of America (USA),
European Union (EU) and Serbia, with reference on the efforts for international harmonization of
the regulations. The goal is to increase awareness of the broader healthcare professionals’ (HCPs)
audience about this topic. Publicly available information from official regulatory bodies websites
was analyzed and synthesized for two regions and one country of interest. The results show
differences in regulatory approaches in this area between two biggest medical device markets –
the USA and the EU, while regulations in Serbia are being harmonized with the EU. Regulations
clearly define criteria that software – mobile application needs to meet to be assessed as a medical
device; on the other hand, they leave a number of applications that provide health-related services
out of the regulated scope. Based on the increased awareness of regulations, recommendations
for future research can be directed towards greater involvement of HCPs in patient counseling
and decision making regarding the selection of mobile applications, to prevent the use of
inadequate mobile applications and ensure that their patients are correctly using the right
applications with positive effects on health and well-being.
AB  - Broj mobilnih aplikacija namenjenih za zaštitu zdravlja i dobrobiti pacijenata/korisnika je u stalnom porastu. Cilj ovog preglednog rada bio je uporedna analiza propisa za softvere - mobilne aplikacije kao medicinska sredstva u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama (SAD), Evropskoj uniji (EU) i Srbiji, sa osvrtom na napore za međunarodno usaglašavanje propisa. Namera je da se poveća upoznatost većeg broja zdravstvenih radnika o ovoj temi. Analizirane su i sintetizovane javno dostupne informacije sa sajtova zvaničnih regulatornih tela za dva regiona i jednu zemlju od interesa. Rezultati pokazuju razlike u regulatornim pristupima u ovoj oblasti između dva najveća tržišta medicinskih sredstava - SAD i EU, dok se regulativa u Srbiji usklađuje sa EU. Pregledani propisi jasno definišu kriterijume koje softveri - mobilne aplikacije moraju da zadovolje da bi se procenjivali kao medicinska sredstva; sa druge strane, oni ostavljaju jedan broj aplikacija koje pružaju usluge u oblasti zaštite zdravlja i/ili dobrobiti pacijenata/korisnika izvan regulisanog opsega. Na osnovu bolje upoznatosti sa regulativom, dalja istraživanja se mogu usmeriti ka nalaženju načina za većim angažovanjem zdravstvenih radnika u savetovanju pacijenata i donošenju odluka oko izbora mobilnih aplikacija, kako bi sprečili upotrebu neadekvatnih mobilnih aplikacija i osigurali da njihovi pacijenti pravilno koriste prave aplikacije sa pozitivnim efektima na njihovo zdravlje i blagostanje.
