Overview

This project (Consumer Mobile Health Application Functional Framework, (a.k.a. cMHAFF) will define security, privacy and data standards for mobile health applications (apps), as well as guidance pertaining to transparency and consumer protection through the life cycle of such apps (from purchase, download, installation, use, and deletion). The intent is to provide industry guidance and common methods to enable the development of mobile health apps targeted to consumers/citizens that use protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII). These standards will not address the clinical content of such apps, but will provide a framework for security, privacy and the integration of data generated from apps into Personal Health Record (PHR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems as well as into other types of data repositories (e.g., personal data stores, population care systems). "Mobile Health Apps" include apps running typically on smartphones, but also on other consumer devices such as watches and tablets.

This project may reuse conformance criteria already available within the HL7 PHR-S and EHR-S Functional Models, augmenting with new conformance criteria specific to mobile platforms (e.g., use of geolocation services, accelerometers, cameras, microphones, contacts). It will not attempt to replciate standards, regulations, and guidelines defined elsewhere, but will reference them where possible.

In particular, standards will address the following areas:

  • User, device, and cross-system authentication
  • Authorization to content and features
  • Proxy designations
  • Use of location services, camera, accelerometers and other smartphone services
  • Security of data at rest (local and cloud)
  • Security of data in transit (wired and wireless)
  • Minimum data standards for device generated and device transmitted information
  • Record system reliability; record authenticity (it is what it represents to be)
  • Data provenance
  • Audit
  • Discontinuation of use of an app
  • Conditions and agreements, e.g., privacy policy, terms of use, and in-app disclaimers

The cMHAFF project went through an HL7 Comment-Only Ballot in January 2016; comments were reconciled as of September 2016; a revised cMHAFF document is being developed for balloting in 2017.
